The direct propagation of acoustic waves, driven harmonically at the solar photosphere, into the three-dimensional solar atmosphere
is examined numerically in the framework of ideal magnetohydrodynamics. It is of particular interest to study the leakage
of 5-minute global solar acoustic oscillations into the upper, gravitationally stratified and magnetised atmosphere, where
the modelled solar atmosphere possesses realistic temperature and density stratification. This work aims to complement and
bring further into the 3D domain our previous efforts (by Erdélyi et al., 2007, Astron. Astrophys. 467, 1299) on the leakage of photospheric motions and running magnetic-field-aligned waves excited by these global oscillations.
The constructed model atmosphere, most suitable perhaps for quiet Sun regions, is a VAL IIIC derivative in which a uniform
magnetic field is embedded. The response of the atmosphere to a range of periodic velocity drivers is numerically investigated
in the hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic approximations. Among others the following results are discussed in detail: i) High-frequency waves are shown to propagate from the lower atmosphere across the transition region, experiencing relatively
low reflection, and transmitting most of their energy into the corona; ii) the thin transition region becomes a wave guide for horizontally propagating surface waves for a wide range of driver periods,
and particularly at those periods that support chromospheric standing waves; iii) the magnetic field acts as a waveguide for both high- and low-frequency waves originating from the photosphere and propagating
through the transition region into the solar corona.

On transition region convection cells in simulations of p‐mode propagation into the solar atmosphere
C. Malins 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2007,328(8):752-755
This paper examines the way that transition region surface waves, generated in 2‐D numerical simulations of the nonmagnetic solar atmosphere when various synthetic photospheric drivers are applied, drive the granulation of the transition region/lower coronal region into convection cells. It is shown that these cells are generated by both synthetic point drivers and synthetic horizontally coherent p‐mode drivers. These cells cause the conversion of driven signals in vertical velocity into coronal signals predominantly in horizontal velocity, which if carried over to a case with a magnetic field included could cause mode conversion.

In this work we investigate p‐mode power variation with solar atmosphere. To this aim, we use THÉMIS observations of the Na D1 (λ 5896 Å) and K (λ 7699 Å) spectral lines. While the formation heights of the K spectral line are essentially located in the photospheric layer, the formation heights of the Na D1 line span a much wider region: from photosphere up to chromosphere. Hence, we had the opportunity to infer p‐mode power variation up to the chromospheric layer. By analyzing power spectra obtained by temporal series at different points of the Na D1 and K spectral lines, we confirm and quantify the increase in p‐mode power towards higher atmospheric layers. Furthermore, the large span in formation heights of the Na D1 line induces a larger enhancement of p‐mode power with solar atmosphere compared to the K spectral line.

We study the propagation of a train of acoustic shocks guided by diverging magnetic fields through a static model of the solar chromospheric network and transition region. Our results show that for initial flux densities of the order 106 ergs cm–2 s–1 in the lower chromosphere, the local efficiency of acoustic transmission into the corona can be much higher than calculated for a plane parallel atmosphere. Thus acoustic energy will tend to be deposited at higher chromospheric levels in diverging magnetic fields, and magnetic guiding may well influence the temperature profile of the network and plages. But the total flux that can be transmitted into the corona along such diverging fields is severely limited, since the magnetic elements occupy a small fractional area of the photosphere, and the transmission efficiency is a rapidly decreasing function of initial acoustic flux density. We conclude that diverging magnetic fields and a varying ratio of specific heats are not likely to allow high frequency shocks to dissipate high enough in a static atmosphere, to contribute significantly to the coronal energy balance. This result strengthens the view that acoustic waves do not heat the solar corona. However, the conclusion may be sensitive to the influence of observed mass motions, such as spicules. 相似文献

The possibility of the excitation of Farley‐Buneman turbulence in the solar atmosphere is examined. It is found that the conditions for the generation of the modified Farley‐Buneman instability can be realized in the chromosphere of the Sun 1000 km above the photosphere. While usual Farley‐Buneman waves studied in relation to the Earth's ionosphere are almost electrostatic, the modified Farley‐Buneman waves in the solar atmosphere are electromagnetic ones. This means, that not only the potential electric field caused by the charge distribution, but also the perturbations of the magnetic field and the circularly‐polarized electric field are essential. Although the physical pictures of usual and modified Farley‐Buneman waves are different, their dispersion equations are almost the same. However, the increment of the modified Farley‐Buneman waves is varied by additional electromagnetic effects. It is demonstrated that electromagnetic effects hinder a Farley‐Buneman instability in occurring while ξ < 1, where ξ is the square of the ratio of ion plasma frequency times ion‐neutral frequency to ion‐cyclotron frequency times wave number times speed of light in vacuum. Under the condition ξ > 1, no Farley‐Buneman disturbances appear at all. In weakly‐ionized solar regions, the modified (ξ < 1) and also the usual (ξ ≪ 1) Farley‐Buneman turbulence could make “electromagnetic” contributions to the process of energy dissipation of nonstationary streams of neutral gases. Besides, they may modify the low‐frequency acoustic noise. It seems that the modified Farley‐Buneman turbulence contributes to the sporadic radiation of the Sun. It is possible, that such an effect takes not only place in the chromosphere of the Sun, but also in the atmospheres of other stars. 相似文献

Reliable measurements of the solar magnetic field are restricted to the level of the photosphere. For about half a century attempts have been made to calculate the field in the layers above the photosphere, i.e. in the chromosphere and in the corona, from the measured photospheric field. The procedure is known as magnetic field extrapolation. In the superphotospheric parts of active regions the magnetic field is approximately force-free, i.e. electric currents are aligned with the magnetic field. The practical application to solar active regions has been largely confined to constant-α or linear force-free fields, with a spatially constant ratio, α, between the electric current and the magnetic field. We review results obtained from extrapolations with constant-α force-free fields, in particular on magnetic topologies favourable for flares and on magnetic and current helicities. Presently, different methods are being developed to calculate non-constant-α or nonlinear force-free fields from photospheric vector magnetograms. We also briefly discuss these methods and present a comparison of a linear and a nonlinear force-free magnetic field extrapolation applied to the same photospheric boundary data.

The intensity and velocity fluctuations, observed simultaneously, are a powerful diagnostic tool of the dynamics of the solar
atmosphere. The phase relation between the fluctuations can improve our knowledge of the solar background, its relation with
the acoustic sources, and its interaction with the solar acoustic oscillations. Furthermore, the opposite asymmetries observed
along the p-mode line profiles in the intensity and velocity power spectra contain information about the source of the solar acoustic
oscillations. For these reasons, it is relevant to study the height dependence of the asymmetries and phases in the solar
atmosphere. In this paper, we present the results from the analysis of observations performed by the VAMOS instrument in the
potassium 769.9 nm line and Na i D lines, and compare the measured phases with those obtained at different layers in the solar
atmosphere by different instruments, spanning from the base of the photosphere to the low chromosphere. 相似文献

The physical properties of the quiet solar chromosphere–corona transition region are studied. Here the structure of the solar atmosphere is governed by the interaction of magnetic fields above the photosphere. Magnetic fields are concentrated into thin tubes inside which the field strength is great. We have studied how the plasma temperature, density, and velocity distributions change along a magnetic tube with one end in the chromosphere and the other one in the corona, depend on the plasma velocity at the chromospheric boundary of the transition region. Two limiting cases are considered: horizontally and vertically oriented magnetic tubes. For various plasma densities we have determined the ranges of plasma velocities at the chromospheric boundary of the transition region for which no shock waves arise in the transition region. The downward plasma flows at the base of the transition region are shown to be most favorable for the excitation of shock waves in it. For all the considered variants of the transition region we show that the thermal energy transfer along magnetic tubes can be well described in the approximation of classical collisional electron heat conduction up to very high velocities at its base. The calculated extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emission agrees well with the present-day space observations of the Sun. 相似文献

Coronal heating is one of the unresolved puzzles in solar physics from decades. In the present paper we have investigated the dynamics of vortices to apprehend coronal heating problem. A three dimensional (3d) model has been developed to study propagation of dispersive Alfvén waves (DAWs) in presence of ion acoustic waves which results in excitation of DAW and evolution of vortices. Taking ponderomotive nonlinearity into account, development of these vortices has been studied. There are observations of such vortices in the chromosphere, transition region and also in the lower solar corona. These structures may play an important role in transferring energy from lower solar atmosphere to corona and result in coronal heating. Nonlinear interaction of these waves is studied in view of recent simulation work and observations of giant magnetic tornadoes in solar corona and lower atmosphere of sun by solar dynamical observatory (SDO). 相似文献

In addition to the heating the corona by sound waves, there exists a radiation pressure caused by the absorption of acoustic waves as well as plasma waves. Whereas in the hydrostatic balance of the solar atmosphere, the light pressure can be neglected, the radiation pressure due to acoustic waves and Alfvén waves is much higher and has to be taken into account.In the solar atmosphere, the acoustic radiation pressure is generated by (i) absorption of sound energy, (ii) reflection of sound energy, and (iii) change of the sound velocity.The radiation pressure caused by absorption is dominating within the solar corona. The radiation pressure caused by reflection and the wave velocity change probably produce a pressure inversion in the transition zone between chromosphere and corona. Furthermore, the spicule phenomena are due to instationary radiation pressure. 相似文献

The linear oscillations of a stratified atmosphere embedded in a uniform vertical magnetic field are studied here. We use
a simple theoretical model, formed by the superposition of two isothermal layers, representing, respectively, i) the photosphere
and the chromosphere, and ii) the corona. The bottom layer behaves, for some modes, as a resonant cavity where MAG waves are
semi-trapped. We find the existence of two types of modes: 1) Fast modes which are trapped below the transition layer, 2)
Mixed modes which are resonant modes in the first layer and leak part of the energy to the corona. These mixed modes have
been found to be damped in the horizontal direction and can explain the observed slow modes in the corona. 相似文献

p-mode oscillations in solar-like stars are excited by the outer convection zone in these stars and reflected close to the surface. The p modes are trapped inside an acoustic cavity, but the modes only stay trapped up to a given frequency [known as the acoustic cut-off frequency (νac ) ] as modes with larger frequencies are generally not reflected at the surface. This means that modes with frequency larger than the acoustic cut-off frequency must be travelling waves. The high-frequency modes may provide information about the physics in the outer layers of the stars and the excitation source and are therefore highly interesting as it is the estimation of these two phenomena that cause some of the largest uncertainties when calculating stellar oscillations.
High-frequency modes have been detected in the Sun, in β Hydri and in α Cen A and α Cen B by smoothing the so-called echelle diagram and the large frequency separation as a function of frequency has been estimated. The large frequency separation has been compared with a simple model of the acoustic cavity which suggests that the reflectivity of the photosphere is larger at high frequency than predicted by standard models of the solar atmosphere and that the depth of the excitation source is larger than what has been estimated by other models and might depend on the order n and degree l of the modes. 相似文献

Using microwave observations made with the Nobeyama radioheliograph (=1.76 cm), we have studied temporal variations of sunspot-associated sources in the circularly polarized component. For all three cases of well-developed and rather stable sunspots we found nearly harmonic oscillations with periods in a range of 120–220 s. In one case of an unstable and quickly devolving active region, the fluctuations appear to be irregular with no dominant period. Sunspot-associated solar radio sources are known to be generated by cyclotron radiation of thermal electrons in magnetic tubes of sunspots at the level of the lower solar corona or chromosphere–corona transition region (CCTR). At the wavelength of 1.76 cm, the polarized emission arises in a layer where the magnetic field is B=2000 G (assuming the emission generated at the third harmonic of electron gyrofrequency). We suggest that the observed effect is a manifestation of the well-known 3-min oscillations observed in the chromosphere and photosphere above sunspots. The observed effects are believed to be a result of resonance oscillation of MHD waves inside a magnetic tube. Radio observations of this phenomenon open a new tool for studying regions of reflection of MHD waves near CCTR level. The method is very sensitive both to the height of the CCTR and magnetic fields above sunspots. Thus, detection of oscillations of the height of the transition region even with an amplitude of a few km are possible. The use of a spectrum of one of the observed sources obtained with the radio telescope RATAN-600 allows us to conclude that oscillations in magnetic field strength of about 4 G could be responsible for the effect and are reliably registered. The appearance of the famous 5-min oscillations in the solar atmosphere was also registered in some spectra of radio oscillations. 相似文献

The EUV line emission and relative line-of-sight velocity in the transition region between the chromosphere and corona of 36 sunspot regions are investigated, based on observations with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer – CDS and the Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation – SUMER on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory – SOHO. The most prominent features in the transition-region intensity maps are the sunspot plumes. In the temperature range between log T=5.2 and log T=5.6 we find that 29 of the 36 sunspots contain one or two sunspot plumes. The relative line-of-sight velocity in sunspot plumes is high and directed into the Sun in the transition region, for 19 of the sunspots the maximum velocity exceeds 25 km s?1. The velocity increases with increasing temperature, reaches a maximum close to log T=5.5 and then decreases abruptly.
Attention is given to the properties of oscillations with a period of 3 min in the sunspot transition region, based on observations of six sunspots. Comparing loci with the same phase we find that the 3-min oscillations affect the entire umbral transition region and part of the penumbral transition region. Above the umbra the observed relation between the oscillations in peak line intensity and line-of-sight velocity is compatible with the hypothesis that the oscillations are caused by upward-propagating acoustic waves. Information about intensity oscillations in the low corona is obtained from observations of one sunspot in the 171 Å channel with the Transition Region And Coronal Explorer – TRACE. We conclude that we observe the 3-min sunspot oscillations in the chromosphere, the transition region and the low corona. The oscillations are observable over a wider temperature range than the sunspot plumes, and show a different spatial distribution than that of the plumes.

The excitation of Alfvénic waves in solar spicules by localized Alfvénic pulses is investigated. A set of incompressible MHD equations in the two-dimensional x–z plane with steady flows and sheared magnetic fields is solved. Stratification due to gravity and transition region between chromosphere and corona is taken into account. An initially localized Alfvénic pulse launched below the transition region can penetrate from transition region into the corona. We show that the period of the transversal oscillations is in agreement with those observed in spicules. Moreover, it is found that the excited Alfvénic waves spread during propagation along the spicule length, and suffer efficient damping of the oscillations amplitude. The damping time of the transverse oscillations increased with decreasing k b values. 相似文献

Following the discovery of a few significant seismic sources at 6.0 mHz from the large solar flares of October 28 and 29,
2003, we have extended SOHO/MDI helioseismic observations to moderate M-class flares. We report the detection of seismic waves
emitted from the β γ δ active region NOAA 9608 on September 9, 2001. A quite impulsive solar flare of type M9.5 occurred from 20:40 to 20:48 UT.
We used helioseismic holography to image seismic emission from this flare into the solar interior and computed time series
of egression power maps in 2.0 mHz bands centered at 3.0 and 6.0 mHz. The 6.0 mHz images show an acoustic source associated
with the flare some 30 Mm across in the East – West direction and 15 Mm in the North – South direction nestled in the southern
penumbra of the main sunspot of AR 9608. This coincides closely with three white-light flare kernels that appear in the sunspot
penumbra. The close spatial correspondence between white-light and acoustic emission adds considerable weight to the hypothesis
that the acoustic emission is driven by heating of the lower photosphere. This is further supported by a rough hydromechanical
model of an acoustic transient driven by sudden heating of the low photosphere. Where direct heating of the low photosphere
by protons or high-energy electrons is unrealistic, the strong association between the acoustic source and co-spatial continuum
emission can be regarded as evidence supporting the back-warming hypothesis, in which the low photosphere is heated by radiation
from the overlying chromosphere. This is to say that a seismic source coincident with strong, sudden radiative emission in
the visible continuum spectrum indicates a photosphere sufficiently heated so as to contribute significantly to the continuum
emission observed. 相似文献

The Coudé feed of the vacuum telescope (aperture D = 65 cm) at the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) is currently completely remodelled to accommodate a correlation tracker and a high‐order Adaptive Optics (AO) system. The AO system serves two imaging magnetograph systems located at a new optical laboratory on the observatory's 2nd floor. The InfraRed Imaging Magnetograph (IRIM) is an innovative magnetograph system for near‐infrared (NIR) observations in the wavelength region from 1.0 μm to 1.6 μm. The Visible‐light Imaging Magnetograph (VIM) is basically a twin of IRIM for observations in the wavelength range from 550 nm to 700 nm. Both instruments were designed for high spatial and high temporal observations of the solar photosphere and chromosphere. Real‐time data processing is an integral part of the instruments and will enhance BBSO's capabilities in monitoring solar activity and predicting and forecasting space weather. 相似文献

We compute the change in the Lorentz force integrated over the outer solar atmosphere implied by observed changes in vector
magnetograms that occur during large, eruptive solar flares. This force perturbation should be balanced by an equal and opposite
force perturbation acting on the solar photosphere and solar interior. The resulting expression for the estimated force change
in the solar interior generalizes the earlier expression presented by Hudson, Fisher, and Welsch (Astron. Soc. Pac. CS-383, 221, 2008), providing horizontal as well as vertical force components, and provides a more accurate result for the vertical component
of the perturbed force. We show that magnetic eruptions should result in the magnetic field at the photosphere becoming more
horizontal, and hence should result in a downward (toward the solar interior) force change acting on the photosphere and solar
interior, as recently argued from an analysis of magnetogram data by Wang and Liu (Astrophys. J. Lett. 716, L195, 2010). We suggest the existence of an observational relationship between the force change computed from changes in the vector
magnetograms, the outward momentum carried by the ejecta from the flare, and the properties of the helioseismic disturbance
driven by the downward force change. We use the impulse driven by the Lorentz-force change in the outer solar atmosphere to
derive an upper limit to the mass of erupting plasma that can escape from the Sun. Finally, we compare the expected Lorentz-force
change at the photosphere with simple estimates from flare-driven gasdynamic disturbances and from an estimate of the perturbed
pressure from radiative backwarming of the photosphere in flaring conditions. 相似文献

Based on model calculations, we show that ion-acoustic oscillations can be excited by heat fluxes in a plasma. We discuss the probable effect of ion-acoustic oscillations on the formation of temperature gradients at critical heat fluxes. The local critical heat flux in the transition region of the solar atmosphere is close to the well-known experimental heat flux from the corona into the chromosphere. 相似文献

This paper extends previous investigations of non-adiabatic, oscillatory motions in plane-parallel, gravitationally stratified, magnetized atmospheres by replacing the simple polytropic equilibrium atmosphere with the detailed umbral model atmosphere of Thomas and Scheuer (1982). A normal mode analysis is performed on three cavities defined within the vertical extent of the model. For this work, the coefficient of thermal conductivity is taken to be a function of the temperature and the constant magnetic field is aligned with the direction of gravity. This significantly alters the structure of the eigenspectrum from that of the simpler models using a constant coefficient of thermal conductivity. When evaluated with physical parameters relevant to sunspot umbrae, 5-min and several 3-min oscillations are detected in the cavity from the upper photosphere to the temperature minimum whereas only 3-min oscillations are found in the spatially larger cavity from the upper photosphere to the chromosphere/corona transition region. 相似文献
