We investigated the velocity and temperature characteristics of an Ellerman bomb (EB) and its associated features based on observations made with the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) and a broadband TiO filter of the 1.6 meter New Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory. In the TiO images of the photospheric level, we found a granular cell expanding in two opposite directions near the site of the EB. When one end of this granule reached the EB site, the transverse speed of the tip of the expanding granule rapidly decreased and the EB brightened. The wings of the Hα profile of the EB indicated that the EB was blueshifted up to 7 km?s?1. About 260 s after the EB brightening, a surge was seen in absorption and varied from a blueshift of 20 km?s?1 to a redshift of 40 km?s?1 seen in the Hα and Ca ii 8542 Å lines. From the Doppler absorption width of the two lines determined by applying the cloud model, we estimated the mean temperature of the surge material to be about 29000 K and the mean speed of nonthermal motion to be about 11 km?s?1. We discuss the physical implications of our results in terms of magnetic reconnection and processes related to it.  相似文献

Skylab soft X-ray observations of two lower coronal limb events and corresponding H observations (Skylab and ground-based) are analyzed. We discuss the morphology and evolution of an eruptive prominence occurring on 21 August 1973, beginning (in H) at about 1300 UT and of a surge on 4 December 1973, beginning at about 1758 UT. For the eruptive prominence, measured X-ray flux is used in the determination of line-of-sight temperatures, emission measures, and electron densities. A peak temperature of 8.5 × l06 K and densities to 3.5 × l09 cm-3 are derived. A time-dependent, two-dimensional, single-fluid magnetohydrodynamic computer code has been used to simulate the coronal response to these prominences. We find that the coronal response to the observed eruptive prominence may be simulated with a density-dominated pressure pulse at the base of the corona ( 30000 km above photosphere), while a temperature pulse of short duration will simulate the coronal response to the surge. Approximately 1031 ergs and 1040 particles (or 1016 g) were deposited into the corona during the eruptive prominence event, while about 1029 ergs and 1038 particles (or 1014 g) were injected during the surge event. A shock wave formed ahead of the ejected material at about 70000 km above the photosphere in the eruptive prominence event and had a velocity of 275 km s-1 at 1.5 r above the limb.Presently at NASA / Marshall Space Flight Center.  相似文献

Calculations of the steady-state photoelectron energy and angular distribution in the altitude region between 120 and 1000 km are presented. The distribution is found to be isotropic at all altitudes below 250 km, while above this altitude anisotropies in both pitch angle and energy are found. The isotropy found in the angular distribution below 250 km implies that photoelectron transport below 250 km is insignificant, while the angular anisotropy found above this altitude implies a net photoelectron current in the upward direction. The energy anisotropy above 500 km arises from the selective backscattering of the low energy photoelectron population of the upward flux component by Coulomb collisions with the ambient ions. The total photoelectron flux attains its maximum value between about 40 and 70 km above the altitude at which the photoelectron production rate is maximum. The displacement of the maximum of the equilibrium flux is attributed to an increasing (with altitude) photoelectron lifetime. Photoelectrons at altitudes above that where the flux is maximum are on the average more energetic than those below that altitude. The flux of photoelectrons escaping to the protonosphere at dawn was found to be 2.6 × 108 cm?2 sec?1, while the escaping flux at noon was found to be 1.5 × 108 cm?2 sec?1. The corresponding escaping energy fluxes are: 4.4 × 109 eV cm?2 sec?1 and 2.7 × 109 eV cm?2 sec?1.  相似文献

An X2.3 class flare was reported on 10 April 2001 in AR 9415. A halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was associated with this flare. The Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), which was running in its daily synoptic mode, recorded a very high-velocity ejection of plasma associated with this activity. The spatial scanning and spectral capabilities of CDS allow the measurement of both transverse and line-of-sight velocities. Components of the plasma, as seen in emission from Ov at around 2.5×105 K, reached transverse velocities in excess of 800 km s–1. The nature of the spectral line profiles suggests that a rotational motion of ±350 km s–1 was superimposed upon the general outward expansion of approximately 150 km s–1. The ejection detected using CDS was found to have a constant acceleration and is thought to be a spray of plasma with a helical structure driven by the magnetic topology.  相似文献

The orbit of Explorer 24 (1964–1976A) has been determined at 18 epochs during the five month period prior to its decay in October 1968, using the RAE orbit refinement computer program PROP6. As a balloon, the satellite was strongly influenced by atmospheric perturbations, despite its high perigee altitude near 490 km. It therefore provided an opportunity of determining atmospheric rotation rates at high altitude. The rotation rate, Λ rev day?1, was estimated from the observed variation in orbital inclination, after the removal of perturbations including those due to solar radiation pressure.The mean rotation rates, averaged over local time, are Λ = 0.98 for 18 May to 18 August 1968 at 542 km; Λ = 1.06 for 18 May to 13 October 1968 at 533 km.For morning conditions, Λ = 0.9 for 22 June to 20 July 1968 at 540 km; Λ = 0.8 during September 1968 at 513 km.For evening conditions, Λ = 1.1 for 18 May to 15 June 1968, and for 26 July to 7 September 1968, at 540 km and 536 km respectively; Λ = 1.3 for 28 September to 13 October 1968 at 484 km.Further, the maximum W to E zonal wind has been estimated to occur at 20.5 h local time, during the period of the analysis.  相似文献

A large surge was observed on September 17, 1971, part of which, after travelling 200 000 km through the corona, returned to the surface to form a filament. The filament lasted about 30 min, then rose up and returned to the source of the surge. We interpret this as the filling of a semi-stable magnetic trap.The energetics of radio, X-ray, and surge expulsion are estimated. The radio spectrum and flux correspond to a thermal source of area 4 (arcmin)2, T 190 000 K, N e 2 V 7 × 1048, which is optically deep at 8800 MHz.The soft X-ray source has T 12 × 106 K, N e 2 V 3 × 1048; and if an equal mass is expelled in the surge, the kinetic energy of the surge is similar to the thermal energy of the X-ray source.  相似文献

Microrater frequencies caused by fast (? 3 km s?1) ejecta have been determined using secondary targets in impact experiments. A primary projectile (steel sphere, diam 1.58 mm, mass 1.64 × 10?2 g) was shot in Duran glass with a velocity of 4.1 km s?1 by means of a light gas gun. The angular distribution of the secondary crater number densities shows a primary maximum around 25°, and a secondary maximum at about 60° from the primary target surface. The fraction of mass ejected at velocities of ? 3 km s?1 is only a factor of 7.5 × 10?5 of the primary projectile mass. A conservative calculation shows that the contribution of secondary microcraters (caused by fast ejecta) to primary microcrater densities on lunar rock surfaces (caused by interplanetary particles) is on the statistical average below 1% for any lunar surface orientation. Calculation of the interplanetary dust flux enhancement caused by Moon ejecta turned out to be in good agreement with Lunar Explorer 35in situ measurements.  相似文献

The line-of-sight velocity field of the solar limb surge of 1980 Oct 11, observed at Yunnan Observatory, showed a rotating motion. The velocity of rotation and the true ascending speed of the surge were determined from H observations. We also found an accompanying expansion at several tens of km/s and the presence of a pulsed phenomenon with a period of a few minutes at the root of the surge. We point out that the steep density gradient between the surge plasma and its surrounding atmosphere causes double-pole diffusion, and the electric field generated by the double-pole diffusion causes electric drift of the surge plasma, hence the rotation.  相似文献

A rocket experiment was conducted which measured the infrared bands of the excited hydroxyl radical in the night airglow. The OH emission was found in a layer centered at 87 km having a half-width of 6 km and a total emission of 1.1 MR. The atomic oxygen altitude profile, ranging from 1.3 × 1010 atoms/cm3 at 83 km to 3 × 1011 atoms/cm3 at 90 km is determined from the hydroxyl airglow measurements. This derivation is based on the steady state balance between ozone formation from atomic oxygen and its destruction by hydrogen which produces the OH infrared emission.  相似文献

A portion of an east limb flare-prominence observed in Hα by NOAA/Boulder and NASA/ MSFC patrol facilities on 30 April 1974 is analyzed. Following a rapid (～2 min) achievement of a maximum mass ejection velocity of about 375 km s?1, the ascending prominence reached a height of, at least, 2 × 105 km. We use a one-dimensional, time-dependent hydrodynamic theory (Nakagawa et al., 1975) to compute the total mass (～2 × 1011 g) and energy (～4 × 1026erg) ejected during this part of this event. Theoretical aspects of the coronal response are discussed. We conclude that a moderate temperature and density pulse (factors of ten and two, respectively), for a duration of only 3 min, is sufficient for an acceptable simulation of the Hα observations and the likely coronal response to the ascending prominence and flare-related ejections. No attempt was made to simulate the additionally-important spray and surge features which probably contributed a higher level of mass and energy efflux.  相似文献

Hourly interplanetary proton plasma data, measured by Helios-1 and Helios-2 heliocentric satellites over the period extending between the sunspot minimum and maximum of the 21rst solar cycle are analysed. This analysis gives an emphasis in the presence of a third type solar wind (intermediate) at 450 km s–1, appearing at solar minimum, during which large coronal holes are dominating in the Sun. This type of solar wind is hardly to be observed during the solar maximum period.Both Helios-1 and Helios-2 data give an average speed of the slow solar wind of 350 km s–1 for the period between these two extremes of solar activities.After correlation of the plasma temperature with its speed in different heliocentric distances, it comes out the stronger heating which takes place in distances shorter than 0.6 AU than in distances between 0.6 and 1.0 AU.A different behaviour of the radial proton temperature gradient in different solar activities appears after the calculation of the gradients as a function of solar wind speed and radial distance.  相似文献

The H analysis of the development of the strong impulsive and faint gradual phase of the June 26, 1983 flare indicates the following: (1) The flare originated from two microprominences on the southeast border of NOAA 4227. Several similar events are summarized in Table II. (2) The main flare structure was a flare cone, which consisted of a bright surge-like stream, elevated above two flare ribbons (located in the cone's base). The flare cone had a height of about 40 × 103 km and lasted 4 min in H. The upper part of the cone was terminated by a very fine loop, which was bent to the west, where later a chromospheric brightening occurred at the footpoint of a flaring arch. A 300 keV burst and radio spikes were observed during the maximum flare phase. (3) The flaring arch system, with its apex at a height of about 48 × 103 km, formed the skeleton for the coronal helmet structure (Figure 7(c)). The velocity of the plasma moving along the flaring arch was between 3500 km s–1} and 6900 km s–1} during the first brightening (14:07 UT).  相似文献

Abstract— Mercury is difficult to observe because it is so close to the Sun. However, when the angle of the ecliptic is near maximum in the northern hemisphere, and Mercury is near its greatest eastern elongation, it can be seen against the western sky for about a half hour after sunset. During these times, we were able to map sodium D2 emission streaming from the planet, forming a long comet‐like tail. On 2001 May 26 (U.T.) we mapped the tail downstream to a distance of ?40 000 km. Sodium velocities in the tail increased to ?11 km s?1 at 40 000 km as the result of radiation pressure acceleration. On 2000 June 5 (U.T.) we mapped the cross‐sectional extent of the tail at a distance of ?17 500 km downstream. At this distance, the half‐power full‐width of the emission was ?20 000 km. We estimated the transverse velocity of sodium in the tail to range from 2 to 4 km s?1. The velocities we observed imply source velocities from the planet surface of the order of 5 km s?1, or 4 eV. Particle sputtering is a likely candidate for production of sodium atoms at these velocities. The total flux of sodium in the tail was ?1 times 1023 atoms s?1, which corresponds to 1 to 10% of the estimated total production rate of sodium on the planet.  相似文献

The ozone height profile in the Arctic, at the end of the winter, has been measured up to an altitude of 100 km using a combined solar occultation and 1.27 μ oxygen emission technique. The typical two layer structure has been observed with a high altitude minimum near 80 km and a maximum at 86 km. The measured concentration in this ozone bulge was 5.1 × 107cm?3, typical of that measured at 52°N for the summer months. It is suggested that this reduced ozone concentration may have been associated with a stratospheric warming event that was in progress at the time of the measurement.  相似文献

Four surveys in which the geometrical parameters were suitable for observations on weak scattering objects were carried out by the Venera 9, 10 orbiters using 3000–8000 Å spectrometers. The results of one survey can be explained by a dust layer at the height of sighting h = 100–700 km. Its absence in other sessions suggests a ring structure. The spectrum of dust scattering is a power function of the wavelength with the index varying from ?2.1 at 100km to ?1.3 at 500km. A method is proposed for obtaining the optical thickness, density and size distribution of dust particles from the scattering spectra. For m > 10?14 g the number of dust particles with a mass higher than m is proportional to m?1.3. The radial optical thickness τ is 0.7 × 10?5 at 5000 Å assuming the geometric thickness δ to be 100 km. The maximum optical thickness along the normal to the plane of the ring is τn = 4 × 10?6. The mass of the ring is 20 tons or 5 × 10?3 g cm?1 per unit circumference length; the maximum mass in a column normal to the ring plane is 10?10g cm?2; the maximum density (for δ = 100 km) is 10?17 g cm?3. A satellite of Venus gradually destroyed by temperature effects and by meteorite streams and plasma fluxes is suggested as the source of dust in the ring. One of 1 km radius could sustain such a ring for a billion years. The zodiacal light intensity near Venus is estimated.  相似文献

The thickness of the peak of the ionosphere depends primarily on the temperature T n of the neutral gas, and corresponds approximately to an α-Chapman layer at a temperature of 0.87T n. The overall slab thickness, as given by Faraday rotation measurements, is then τ =0.22 n + 7km. Expansion of the topside ionosphere, and changes in the E-andFl-regions increase τ by about 20 km during the day in summer. Near solar minimum τ is increased by a lowering of the O +/H + transition height; if the neutral temperature T n is estimated, this height can be obtained from observed values of τ.Hourly values of slab thickness were determined over a period of 6 yr at 34°S and 42°S. Near solar maximum the night-time values were about 260 km in all seasons. The corresponding neutral temperatures agree with satellite drag values; they show a semiannual variation of 14 per cent and a seasonal change of 5 per cent. Daytime values of τ were about 230 km in winter and 320 km in summer, implying a seasonal change of 30 per cent in T n. Temperatures increase steadily throughout the day in all seasons, with a rapid post-sunset cooling in summer. Downwards movements produce a large peak in τ at 0600 hr in winter. A large upwards flux, equal to about 40 per cent of the maximum (limiting) value, reduces τ for several hours after sunrise in winter. The slab thickness increases near solar minimum showing a reduction of the O +/H + transition height to about 700 km in summer and 500 km in winter.  相似文献

We present results of the study of chromospheric and photospheric line-of-sight velocity fields in the young active region NOAA 11024. Multi-layer, multi-wavelength observational data were used for the analysis of the emerging flux in this active region. Spectropolarimetric observations were carried out with the telescope THEMIS on Tenerife (Canary Islands) on 4 July 2009. In addition, space-borne data from SOHO/MDI, STEREO and GOES were also considered. The combination of data from ground- and space-based telescopes allowed us to study the dynamics of the lower atmosphere of the active region with high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. THEMIS spectra show strong temporal variations of the velocity in the chromosphere and photosphere for various activity features: two pores, active and quiet plage regions, and two surges. The range of variations of the chromospheric line-of-sight velocity at the heights of the formation of the Hα core was extremely large. Both upward and downward motions were observed in these layers. In particular, a surge with upward velocities up to ?73 km?s?1 was detected. In the photosphere, predominantly upward motions were found, varying from ?3.1 km?s?1 upflows to 1.4 km?s?1 downflows in different structures. The velocity variations at different levels in the lower atmosphere are compatible with the emergence of magnetic flux.  相似文献

Measurements of the twilight enhancement of airglow emission from O+(2P) near 7325 Å reveal major changes which accompany geomagnetic activity, no significant distance between evening and morning and an increase in brightness paralleling the approach to solar maximum. The principal source for O+(2P) is direct photoionization from O(3P) but at low solar activity there appears to be a contribution from another source in early twilight which may be local photoelectron ionization into O+(2P). The geomagnetic and solar effects appear to reflect changes in the O and N2 density in the thermosphere; ground based twilight measurements of O+ emissions thus provide a simple means for monitoring thermospheric structure from 300 km to ～ 500 km at solar minimum and to ～600 km at solar maximum.  相似文献

We studied changes in thermodynamic parameters of the chromosphere at the initial stage of the two-ribbon solar flare accompanied by a surge that occurred on September 4, 1990. The inhomogeneous semiempirical models of the flare chromosphere and surge are constructed for four observation moments. The spectra were obtained with the ATsU-26 horizontal solar telescope of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Terskol Peak). Photometric transections of the spectra passed through two bright kernels of one of the flare ribbons and through the surge. The comparison of the observed profiles of the line Hα in the solar active and quiet-Sun regions reveals the substantial emission in the line wings (up to 1–1.2 nm) with a residual intensity of 0.6–0.77 at the center of the line profiles. Calculations within the two-component models of the chromosphere have shown that this may be the evidence of the existence of the details (unresolved by the telescope and occupying 5–12% of the total area) with a deep heating of the chromosphere layers. A strong asymmetry of the line profiles and the shift with respect to the line profile for the quiet-Sun region are explained by peculiarities of the line-of-sight velocity distribution over the height. It is found that the motion is directed to the observer in the upper chromosphere (10–30 km/s) and from the observer in the lower chromosphere (5–20 km/s) for the larger part of the active region under study. According to the models calculated for the surge, the line-of-sight velocities reach a value of 70 km/s.  相似文献

A flare surge at the limb was observed in CIII 977 Å by the Harvard OSO 6 spectroheliometer. The kinematic behavior of the surge is the same in CIII and in H. The amount of CIII emission is consistent with a model in which the CIII ions occupy sheaths with thickness 100 km surrounding the cooler H-emitting threads. The mass of the material containing CIII ions is about 10–2 times that emitting H.Now at California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California.  相似文献
