This paper presents an integrated analysis of GOES 6, 7 and neutron monitor observations of solar cosmic-ray event following the 1990 May 24 solar flare. We have used a model which includes particle injection at the Sun and at the interplanetary shock front and particle propagation through the interplanetary medium. The model does not attempt to simulate the physical processes of coronal transport and shock acceleration, therefore the injections at the Sun and at the shock are represented by source functions in the particle transport equation. By fitting anisotropy and angle-average intensity profiles of high-energy (>30 MeV) protons as derived from the model to the ones observed by neutron monitors and at GOES 6 and 7, we have determined the parameters of particle transport, the injection rate and spectrum at the source. We have made a direct fit of uncorrected GOES data with both primary and secondary proton channels taken into account.The 1990 May 24–26 energetic proton event had a double-peaked temporal structure at energies 100 MeV. The Moreton (shock) wave nearby the flare core was seen clearly before the first injection of accelerated particles into the interplanetary medium. Some (correlated with this shock) acceleration mechanism which operates in the solar corona at a height up to one solar radius is regarded as a source of the first (prompt) increase in GOES and neutron monitor counting rates. The proton injection spectrum during this increase is found to be hard (spectral index 1.6) at lower energies ( 30 MeV) with a rapid steepening above 300 MeV. Large values of the mean free path ( 1.8 AU for 1 GV protons in the vicinity of the Earth) led to a high anisotropy of arriving protons. The second (delayed) proton increase was presumably produced by acceleration/injection of particles by an interplanetary shock wave at height of 10 solar radii. Our analysis of the 1990 May 24–26 event is in favour of the general idea that a number of components of energetic particles may be produced while the flare process develops towards larger spatial/temporal scales.Visiting Associate from St. Petersburg State Technical University, St. Petersburg 195251, Russia. 相似文献

The interplanetary shock wave front shape and intensity are calculated numerically by means of the WKB-approach, with nonlinear effects taken into account. The solar flare is modelled as an isotropic point explosion at the solar wind base. The heliospheric current sheet (HCS) is represented by a radially diverging stream with a higher plasma concentration and a lower wind speed. Fast magnetosonic shock wave propagation along the HCS is connected with the effect of regular accumulation of the wave energy in the vicinity of the HCS. In this place the wave intensity is increased, and the corresponding front fragments go ahead to form a shock-wave forerunner as a pimple. The primple, in turn, is located inside a quite a large, but less-contrast, dimple in the wave surface. This dimple approximately coincides with the HCS stream contours. If the flare is outside the HCS boundaries, the picture discussed above is conserved, but asymmetry effects arise. Thus the interplanetary shock is stronger when the Earth's observer and the flare are on the same side of the HCS and is weaker in the opposite case. 相似文献

A numerical solution to the Fisk and Lee (1980) equations for the particle intensity upstream of a corotating interplanetary shock is considered for the November 1991 event observed at Ulysses. A numerically derived parallel diffusion coefficient is available for this region (Quenby et al., 1993), based upon in-situ magnetometer data. Fitting the transport equations solution to the upstream energetic particle distribution function, employing a radial diffusion coefficient = 0 r, where r and are, respectively, radial distance from the Sun and particle velocity, and with 0 fixed from the magnetometer derived coefficient yielded a range of statistically acceptable values of (, ). These ran from (0.5, 0.0) to (1.8, 1.6) along a thin strip of — space, hence demonstrating the improbability that the velocity and radial dependence of the particle diffusion can be fixed from such particle and magnetic field data alone. 相似文献

A mechanism explaining the generation of the helium-enriched plasma-condensation colud (HAE-events) behind the front of shock waves associated with mass-ejecting flares is presented. The mechanism is based on the occurence of physical conditions, analogous to those in a Wilson cloud chamber in a magnetic field, behind the front of a flare-generated shock wave propagation out into interplanetary space. Consequently, if the solar atmosphere above the flare active region is saturated with ejected helium plasma, conditions are created for the forming of the helium-enriched plasma-condensation colud in the temperature-depressed region behind the shock wave front. 相似文献

A model of interplanetary and coronal magnetic fields 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
A model of the large-scale magnetic field structure above the photosphere uses a Green's function solution to Maxwell's equations. Sources for the magnetic field are related to the observed photospheric field and to the field computed at a source surface about 0.6 R
above the photosphere. The large-scale interplanetary magnetic field sector pattern is related to the field pattern at this source surface. The model generates magnetic field patterns on the source surface that compare well with interplanetary observations. Comparisons are shown with observations of the interplanetary magnetic field obtained by the IMP-3 satellite. 相似文献

We propose that the coronal source longitude and latitude of solar wind plasma can be estimated within 10°. Previous writers have argued that the solar wind in the ecliptic should originate near the equator and that a quasi-radial hypervelocity (QRH) approximation (constant radial flow) is valid beyond the magnetohydrodynamic critical points. We demonstrate that an extension of the QRH approximation (as if the solar wind flowed radially with constant velocity from the center of the Sun) yields a proper estimate of the high coronal source location at the release zone where the solar wind makes its transition to radial interplanetary flow. This extrapolated QRH (or EQRH) approximation succeeds because the two main corrections to this source estimate, coronal corotation and interplanetary acceleration, tend to cancel (the former correcting the source location eastward, the latter westward). Although this ideal spiral approximation was first suggested by Snyder and Neugebauer (1966), only recently has it been demonstrated that it relates a wide range of interplanetary plasma, magnetic field and energetic particle data to observed coronal magnetic structure. We estimate quantitatively the error in the EQRH approximation by comparison with steady-state streamlines predicted by azimuthally independent and dependent theoretical solutions to the steady-state plasma equations. We find the error in both cases 10° in longitude and therefore suggest that the EQRH approximation offers the means to relate observed solar initial conditions in the release zone directly to interplanetary measurements. If, in addition, the EQRH approximation also leads to agreement with low coronal structure, then there should be a straightforward correspondence to otherwise unobservable high coronal structure. 相似文献

A study is presented of an algorithm, based on the statistical analysis of interplanetary magnetic field data, for the real-time detection of discontinuities in the solar wind. The analysis is based on the application of a sliding or searching algorithm together with a minimum variance treatment. A demonstration is given for a Pioneer data set from 29 August, 1966. This particular data set was chosen because it has been extensively studied (in terms of the fast forward MHD shock wave) by previous groups who utilized the three-dimensional Rankine-Hugoniot shock equations after identifying the shock on a subjective basis. Our procedure differs in that it is perfectly objective because of its searching technique. For this particular data set we identify the original shock with excellent agreement with the earlier studies of its normal vector, as well as an additional shock and tangential discontinuity, neither of which had been identified previously. 相似文献

For an observer in space the intensities and anisotropies of solar cosmic-ray events are governed by the duration and the functional shape of the injection processes near the Sun and by the propagation along the interplanetary magnetic field from the Sun to the observer. We study the influence of four different types of solar injections (Gaussian, exponential, step-function and coronal diffusion), and of a purely diffusive interplanetary propagation, where the diffusion coefficient has a power law dependence on the radial distance from the Sun, =Mr
on both the time-intensity and the time-anisotropy profiles at 1 AU. The main results are as follows: A slow quasi-exponential decay of the intensity can be modelled in some cases; all finite injections produce high anisotropies during the main phase of an event; an effective solar injection length can be determined from simultaneous inspection of the intensities and anisotropies; the intensities and anisotropies do to first order not depend on the analytic shape of the various injection profiles. The model is applied to the November 18, 1968 solar event as observed by Pioneer 9 in the 7.5–21.5 MeV and 21.5–60 MeV energy channels. We obtain local diffusion coefficients in the range M= (2.5–5) × 1021 cm2 s–1 and injection periods of the order of 10–20 hr. Closer inspection reveals the change of interplanetary propagation conditions during the event. 相似文献

Qualitative considerations of mass and particle loading in plasma-neutral gas interaction are made by the help of a one-dimensional steady model. In the case of particle loading the plasma flow behind a strong shock is accelerated as in the case of mass loading regarded by Biermannet al. (1967) whereas behind a weak shock the flow is decelerated. As an example, one-dimensional time-dependent flows with ionization of the neutral gas by Alfvén's critical velocity effect are calculated. Because of the acceleration of the subsonic flow by loading processes, the existence of a tangential discontinuity in the flow around comets seems questionable. 相似文献

An experimental study of the propagation of solar electrons with energyE
e > 30 keV was carried out. Measurements were made during the period 1972-1974 using the Prognoz satellite-borne instruments.A two-component structure of electron fluxes was found. The fast component, rather well-observed after solar flares of minor importance, consists of a compact beam of electrons propagating without scattering inside a narrow cone with an opening 10° along interplanetary magnetic field lines. Characteristics of this component are given.Peculiarities of the slow or diffusive component of electron fluxes are compared with the diffusive component of solar protons. It is shown that the diffusion coefficient for non-relativistic electrons is the function of the number of particles injected in the event. A model of coherent propagation of non-relativistic electrons is offered, which takes into account the presence of the fast and slow components and their interaction with solar wind plasma oscillations. 相似文献

We present a sample of solar energetic particle events observed between November 18 and December 31, 1982 by the HELIOS 1, the VENERA 13, and IMP 8 spacecraft. During the entire time period all three spacecraft were magnetically connected to the western hemisphere of the Sun with varying radial and angular distances from the flares. Eleven proton events, all of them associated with interplanetary shocks, were observed by the three spacecraft. These events are visible in the low-energy (about 4 MeV) as well as the high-energy (30 MeV) protons. In the largest events protons were observed up to energies of about 100 MeV. The shocks were rather fast and in some cases extended to more than 90% east of the flare site. Assuming a symmetrical configuration, this would correspond to a total angular extent of some interplanetary shocks of about 180%. In addition, due to the use of three spacecraft at different locations we find some indication for the shape of the shock front: the shocks are fastest close to the flare normal and are slower at the eastern flank. For particle acceleration we find that close to the flare normal the shock is most effective in accelerating energetic particles. This efficiency decreases for observers connected to the eastern flank of the shock. In this case, the efficiency of shock acceleration for high-energy protons decreases faster than for low-energy protons. Observation of the time-intensity profiles combined with variations of the anisotropy and of the steepness of the proton spectrum allows one in general to define two components of an event which we term solar and interplanetary. We attempt to describe the results in terms of a radially variable efficiency of shock acceleration. Under the assumption that the shock is responsible not only for the interplanetary, but also for the solar component, we find evidence for a very efficient particle acceleration while the shock is still close to the Sun, e.g., in the corona. In addition, we discuss this series of strong flares and interplanetary shocks as a possible source for the formation of a superevent. 相似文献

A two-stage model of the propagation of 1–50 MeV solar-flare cosmic rays is presented. The first stage consists of a thin spherical shell of radius r
a near the Sun which feeds particles into interplanetary space (the second stage) where they propagate along the Archimedean mean interplanetary magnetic field under the influences of anisotropic diffusion, convection, and energy changes. To calculate the time dependence at a fixed point in space, account is taken of the corotation of flux tubes past the observer.It is shown that the well-known east-west effect of the time-to-maximum cannot be obtained if the injection from the first stage is impulsive and thus a time and longitude dependent release for the second stage is essential. This is achieved by treating the first stage as a thin, spherical, diffusing shell of radius r
a with diffusion coefficient
s, from which particles leak into interplanetary space at a rate determined by the leakage coefficient .With this model we are able to reproduce simultaneously four principal features of solar events observed at r = 1 AU: (i) the east-west effect, i.e. the time-to-maximum as a function of flare longitude; (ii) the three phases of the anisotropy vector variation; (iii) the time-to-convective-phase as a function of flare longitude; and (iv) the longitudinal distribution of the differential intensity. Our best estimates of the parameters of the near-Sun propagation are that 0.01 hr–1

It is found that the relationship between the potential energy and the moment of the inertia independent of the radial mass distribution obtained earlier for the sphere also holds in the case of the ellipsoidal mass distribution for the ellipsoid of rotation.The possibility of application of the energy virial relations for solution of the evolutionary problems of the gravitating gaseous sphere, with the help of the relationship found earlier, is demonstrated. The physical conditions on the gaseous sphere boundary are introduced. The existence of two branches of evolution, the proton one and the electron one, is established. The problem of the gravitational contraction velocity during sphere evolution is solved. The relationship between the boundary temperature and the gaseous sphere radius as well as between the luminosity and the body mass is obtained. Some limiting relations for the final stage of the gaseous sphere evolution are found.

Solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field data were obtained by the PROGNOZ 1 and PROGNOZ 2 satellites during the period following the August 4, 1972 (0621 UT) solar flare. A thermalized plasma was recorded one hour after the shock followed two hours later by the plasma piston with a bulk velocity higher than 1700 km s-1. The comparison between the PROGNOZ and PIONEER 9 solar wind data shows an attenuation of the plasma properties with the deflection from the flare's meridian. 相似文献

The distributions of scintillation index in the interior region of an interplanetary shock wave are obtained by using scintillation observations from Pushchino, Russia. The dependence of scintillation index m on the distance from a shock front surface r is strong and can be represented by a two-component structure of distribution of turbulence level Ne)2. The first component occupies a narrow layer with thickness of about 0.02 AU and size of about 0.3 AU, in which the relative enhancement of Ne is about 15. The second component occupies a layer with thickness r=0.1 AU and size of about 0.7 AU, in which the relative enhancement of Ne is about 2. The typical distance of the shock front from the Sun was on the order of 1 AU in the events that we investigated. 相似文献

Except for protons, the chemical composition of solar cosmic rays is very similar to the abundance of the elements at the photosphere of the Sun. If we consider the relative abundance ratio of protons to -particles (P/) at constant rigidity, this ratio is highly variable from one solar cosmic ray event to another. This ratio observed at the Earth, however, decreases monotonically with time from the onset of solar flares and, furthermore, is dependent on the heliocentric distance of the parent flares from the central meridian of the solar disk. P/'s which have been measured before the onset of SC geomagnetic storms change from 1.5 to 50 or more, being a function of the westward position of the source from the east limb of the Sun. These variations with respect to time and heliocentric distance suggest that the propagation of solar cosmic rays is strongly modulated in the interplanetary space. The major part of the -particles seem to propagate as if they are trapped within the magnetic clouds which produce SC geomagnetic and cosmic ray storms at the earth.The chemical composition and rigidity spectra of solar cosmic rays suggest that solar cosmic rays are mainly accelerated by the Fermi mechanism in solar flares. The observed variation of P/'s is produced mainly through the difference between the propagation characteristics of protons and -particles.NAS-NRC Associate with NASA. 相似文献

Multispacecraft observations of energetic protons (E
p 500 keV) were obtained by the APL/JHU instruments on board the IMP-7 and 8 spacecraft and the Voyager-1 and 2 deep space probes, in order to study the generation of solar flare Energetic Storm Particle (ESP) events at widely separated locations on the same shock front. These locations are presumably characterized, on the average, by different interplanetary magnetic field-shock front configurations, i.e. quasi-perpendicular (quasi-parallel) shocks for eastern (western) solar flare sites. The multispacecraft energetic proton observations show that substantial differences in the ESP proton intensity enhancements (defined as the ratio of intensity increases near the shock over the ambient solar proton population) are detected at these energies for locations on the shock front with wide heliolongitude separations. In particular, large ESP proton intensity enhancements are detected at locations on the shock front for which the solar flare site generating the shock is to the east of the spacecraft meridian, whereas only weak ESP events are observed at locations on the same shock for which the flare site is to the west of the spacecraft meridian. The results indicate that acceleration of ESP protons to E
p 500 keV takes place exclusively at the quasi-perpendicular shock front domain, consistent with the shock drift acceleration mechanism (Armstrong et al., 1977). 相似文献

Chisnell-Chester-Whitham method has been used to study the propagation of diverging hydromagnetic cylindrical shock through an infinitely electrically conducting self-gravitating gas having an initial density distribution 0= r-w where is the density at the axis of symmetry andw is a constant, simultaneously for the two cases, viz.: (i) when the shock is weak and (ii) when it is strong. The magnetic field is taken to be axial and initially of constant strength. Analytical relations for shock velocity and shock strength have been obtained. the expressions for the pressure, the density and the particle velocity immediately behind the shock have also been derived. 相似文献

Orbital stability of quasiperiodic motions in the many dimensional autonomic hamiltonian systems is considered. Studied motions are supposed to be not far from equilibrium, the number of their basic frequencies may be not equal to the number of degrees of freedom, and the procedure of their construction is supposed to be converged. The stability problem is solved in the strict nonlinear mode.Obtained results are used in the stability investigation of small plane motions near the lagrangian solutions of the three-dimensional circular restricted three-body problem. The values of parameters for which the plane motions are unstable have been found.
