The overstability of acoustic modes trapped inside the Sun is studied with mechanical and thermal effects of turbulence included in an approximate manner through the eddy diffusivities. Many of the acoustic modes are found to be overstable with the most rapidly growing modes occupying a region centred around 3.3 mHz and spread over a wide range of length-scales. The numerical results turn out to be in reasonable accord with the observed power-spectrum of the five-minute oscillations of arbitrary degree. It is demonstrated that these oscillations are most likely to be driven by a simultaneous operation of the -mechanism and the convective Cowling mechanism, the dominant contribution to the generation of self-excited acoustic waves arising from the turbulent diffusion.Paper presented at the IAU Third Asian-Pacific Regional Meeting, held in Kyoto, Japan, between 30 September–6 October, 1984. 相似文献

Observing stellar oscillations provides a powerful probe for studying stellarinteriors. The frequencies of these modes depend on the properties of the star and give strong constraints on stellar models and evolution theories. The five-minute oscillations in the Sun, induced by stochastic excitation of its convective zone, have provided a wealth of information about the solar interior and has led to significant revisions to solar models. Until recently, the Sun was the only star in which solar-like oscillations were clearly established and characterized. The most important difficulty lies in the extremely small amplitude of the acoustic modes. Thanks in great part to high precision ground based Doppler measurements, solar-like oscillations have been now clearly detected in a growing list of main sequence and subgiant stars (Procyon, Hyi, Her A, Cen A, Eri and Boo). In some of them, p-modes were identified and characterized. New results and prospects in this field are presented. 相似文献

The overstability of sound waves in a polytropic atmosphere is examined for disturbances of arbitrary optical thickness. It is concluded that the Cowling-Spiegel mechanism can operate in the solar convective zone, although the -mechanism is predominantly responsible for the observed five-minute oscillations.National Centre of the Government of India for Nuclear Science and Mathematics, Homi Bhabha Road, Bombay 5, India. 相似文献

Solar global acoustic oscillations in a multilayer model of the solar atmosphere are studied in the plane-parallel geometry. Calculated frequencies of acoustic modes of the Sun are found to depend on parameters of the temperature profile used in the model. Larger influence on frequencies comes from values of the temperature gradient in the convection zone, and less influence from values of the thickness L of the transitional layer and from values of the ratio Tc/Tp of the coronal and the photospheric temperature, Tc and Tp, respectively. The uncertainties in determining these parameters can easily yield frequency shifts that are larger than the observational accuracy. This then indicates a possibility for a diagnostics of solar plasma based on known values of observed oscillation frequencies. 相似文献

A time series of velocity oscillations is observed in the vicinity of NOAA region 5395 with the Kitt Peak vacuum telescope for 6.8 hours on 1989 March 10 as part of a program to study the interaction of solar p-mode oscillations with solar active regions. The data is transformed in a cylindrical coordinate system centered on the visible sunspot, then Hankel- and Fourier-transformed to produce the power spectra of in- and outgoing acoustic waves. It is observed that a maximum of nearly 70% of the power of incident high-degree modes is absorbed by this unusually large sunspot group. The absorptive properties of this active region are compared with those of more typical regions studied previously.A major flare occurred within this region during the observing sequence, providing a rare opportunity to test the hypothesis that flares may excite acoustic waves in the photosphere. A comparison is made of the amount of outgoing p-mode power in equal 200 min time intervals before and after the time of the flare. No significant difference in outgoing acoustic waves is observed within a one-sigma error of about 5% averaged over the interval. A search for acoustic pulses emanating from the flare is made by filtering the data and performing appropriate inverse transforms. No such pulses were detected to a level of about 20% of the background power.NAS-NRC Resident Research Associate. 相似文献

Non-divergent oscillations having the form of deep water waves are shown to form normal modes or free oscillations of the solar atmosphere under two approximations: the chromosphere-coronal interface behaves like a free surface, and the density scale height is sufficiently large in the convective zone. These modes show the temporal and spatial characteristics of the 300 second chromospheric oscillations. 相似文献

The acoustic overstability in a polytropic plane-parallel atmosphere with superadiabatic temperature gradient and radiative dissipation is demonstrated for optically thick disturbances. The periods of oscillation are found to be in the range 250–480 s and the associated wavelength of the order of 4000 km. The five-minute oscillations in the solar surface are attributed to self-excited sound waves in a layer in the subphotospheric convection zone of about 1000 km thickness. 相似文献

This paper presents a detailed discussion of the properties of linear, periodic acoustic waves that propagate vertically in a non-isothermal atmosphere. In order to retain the basic feature of the solar atmosphere we have chosen a temperature profile presenting a minimum. An analytical solution of the problem is possible if T/, being the mean molecular weight, varies parabolically with height. The purpose of this study is to point out the qualitative differences existing between the case treated here and the customary analysis based on a locally isothermal treatment. The computed velocity amplitude and the temperature-perturbation as functions of the wave period exhibit a sharp peak in the region between 180 and 300 s, thus showing the possibility of interpreting the five-minute oscillations as a resonant phenomenon. The propagating or stationary nature of the waves is investigated by a study of the phase of the proposed analytical solution. 相似文献

Three-and five-minute sunspot oscillations have different spatial distributions in the solar atmospheric layers. The spatial distributions are crucial for revealing the physical origin of sunspot oscillations and to investigate their propagation. In this study, six sunspots observed by Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly were used to obtain the spatial distributions of three-and five-minute oscillations. The fast Fourier transform method is applied to represent the power spectra of oscillation modes. We find that, from the temperature minimum to the lower corona, the powers of the fiveminute oscillation exhibit a circle-shape distribution around its umbra, and the shapes gradually expand with temperature increase. However, the circle-shape disappears and the powers of the oscillations appear to be very disordered in the higher corona. This indicates that the five-minute oscillation can be suppressed in the high-temperature region. For the three-minute oscillations, from the temperature minimum to the high corona, their powers mostly distribute within an umbra, and part of them are located at the coronal fan loop structures. Moreover, those relative higher powers are mostly concentrated in the position of coronal loop footpoints. 相似文献

A theory for the brightness fluctuations of the Sun as a star under the effect of its global oscillations has been developed. Formulas for the darkening and visibility of p-modes are derived and their calculations are performed in the local approximation for adiabatic oscillations. Observational data from the DIFOS multichannel photometer onboard the CORONAS-F satellite are used to solve the inverse problem of determining the amplitude of the five-minute temperature fluctuations in the solar photosphere as a function of the height. Analysis of the solution and comparison with the results of other authors suggest that the predicted temperature waves resulting from a linear transformation of p-modes in the photosphere exist in the photosphere. The wavelength and phase velocity of the temperature waves are considerably smaller than those of acoustic waves. It turns out that the solar brightness fluctuations should be produced mainly by the temperature waves in the photosphere, not by the p-modes themselves. The darkening function for the brightness fluctuations is oscillatory in behavior, while the visibility function can differ markedly from that for the Doppler shifts of spectral lines produced by p-modes. These properties are important for interpreting the observations of stellar oscillations based on stellar brightness fluctuations. 相似文献

The five-minute oscillations inside sunspots appear to be the absorption of the solar p-mode. It is a potential tool to probe a sunspot's sub-structure. We studied the collective properties of five-minute oscillations in the power and phase distribution at the sunspot's umbra-penumbra boundary. The azimuthal distributions of the power and phase of five-minute oscillations enclosing a sunspot's umbra were obtained with images taken with the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly(SDO/AIA). The azimuthal modes were quantified with periodogram analysis and justified with significance tests. The azimuthal nodal structures in an approximately axially symmetric sunspot AR 11131(2010 Dec 08) were investigated. Mode numbers m = 2, 3, 4, 7, 10 were obtained in both 1700 ?A and 1600 ?A bandpasses. The 1600 ?A channel also revealed an extra mode at m = 9. In the upper atmosphere(304 ?A), fewer modes were detected at m = 3, 4, 7. The azimuthal modes in the sunspot's low atmosphere could be interpreted as high-order azimuthal MHD body modes. They were detected in the power and phase of the five-minute oscillations in sunspot AR 11131 with SDO/AIA data. Fewer modes were detected in the sunspot's upper atmosphere. 相似文献

The excitation mechanism of solar five-minute oscillations is studied in the present paper. We calculated the non-adiabatic oscillations of low- and intermediate-degree (l = 1 − 25) g4-p39 modes for the Sun. Both the thermodynamic and dynamic couplings are taken into account by using our non-local and time-dependent theory of convection. The results show that all the lowfrequencyf- and p-modes with periods P > 5.4 min are pulsationally unstable, while the coupling between convection and oscillations is neglected. However, when the convection coupling is taken into account, all the g- and low-frequency f- and p-modes with periods longer than 16 minutes (except the low-degree p1-modes) and the high frequency p-modes with periods shorter than 3 minutes become stable, and the intermediate-frequency p-modes with period from 3 to 16 minutes are pulsationally unstable. The pulsation amplitude growth rates depend only on the frequency and almost do not depend on l. They achieve the maximum at ν 3700 μHz (or P 270 sec). The coupling between convection and oscillations plays a key role for stabilization of low-frequency f- and p-modes and excitation of intermediate-frequency p-modes. We propose that the solar 5-minute oscillations are not caused by any single excitation mechanism, but they are resulted from the combined effect of “regular” coupling between convection and oscillations and turbulent stochastic excitation. For low- and intermediatefrequency p-modes, the coupling between convection and oscillations dominates; while for high-frequency modes, stochastic excitation dominates. 相似文献

The spatio-temporal dynamics of the solar photosphere are studied by performing a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of line-of-sight velocity fields computed from high-resolution data coming from the SOHO/MDI instrument. Using this technique, we are able to identify and characterize the different dynamical regimes acting in the system. All of the POD modes are characterized by two well-separated peaks in the frequency spectra. In particular, low-frequency oscillations, with frequencies in the range 20?–?130 μHz, dominate the most energetic POD modes (excluding solar rotation) and are characterized by spatial patterns with typical scales of about 3 Mm. Patterns with larger typical scales, of about 10 Mm, are dominated by p-mode oscillations at frequencies of about 3000 μHz. The p-mode properties found by POD are in agreement with those obtained with the classical Fourier analysis. The spatial properties of high-energy POD modes suggest the presence of a strong coupling between low-frequency modes and turbulent convection. 相似文献

We study high-order acoustic modes which reside in the outer layers of the solar interior. Magnetic field effects are not taken into account in this paper as we wish first to filter out how the modal frequencies depend on physical characteristics of a particular model structure of the Sun. In particular, we are interested in how the modal frequencies of solar global oscillations depend on the thickness of the convection layer and on the temperature gradient of the solar interior below. The model we use consists of three planar layers: an isothermal atmosphere, while the convection layer and the interior have temperature gradients that are adiabatic and sub-adiabatic, respectively. The presence of a convection layer with a finite thickness brings in additional modes while the variations in temperature gradient of the interior cause shifts in eigenfrequencies that are more pronounced for the p modes than for the g modes. These shifts can easily be of the order of several hundreds of Hz, which is much larger than the observational accuracy. 相似文献

The nature of the three-minute and five-minute oscillations observed in sunspots is considered to be an effect of propagation
of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves from the photosphere to the solar corona. However, the real modes of these waves and the
nature of the filters that result in rather narrow frequency bands of these modes are still far from being generally accepted,
in spite of a large amount of observational material obtained in a wide range of wave bands. The significance of this field
of research is based on the hope that local seismology can be used to find the structure of the solar atmosphere in magnetic
tubes of sunspots. We expect that substantial progress can be achieved by simultaneous observations of the sunspot oscillations
in different layers of the solar atmosphere in order to gain information on propagating waves. In this study we used a new
method that combines the results of an oscillation study made in optical and radio observations. The optical spectral measurements
in photospheric and chromospheric lines of the line-of-sight velocity were carried out at the Sayan Solar Observatory. The
radio maps of the Sun were obtained with the Nobeyama Radioheliograph at 1.76 cm. Radio sources associated with the sunspots
were analyzed to study the oscillation processes in the chromosphere – corona transition region in the layer with magnetic
field B=2000 G. A high level of instability of the oscillations in the optical and radio data was found. We used a wavelet analysis
for the spectra. The best similarities of the spectra of oscillations obtained by the two methods were detected in the three-minute
oscillations inside the sunspot umbra for the dates when the active regions were situated near the center of the solar disk.
A comparison of the wavelet spectra for optical and radio observations showed a time delay of about 50 seconds of the radio
results with respect to the optical ones. This implies an MHD wave traveling upward inside the umbral magnetic tube of the
sunspot. For the five-minute oscillations the similarity in spectral details could be found only for optical oscillations
at the chromospheric level in the umbral region or very close to it. The time delays seem to be similar. Besides three-minute
and five-minute ones, oscillations with longer periods (8 and 15 minutes) were detected in optical and radio records. Their
nature still requires further observational and theoretical study for even a preliminary discussion. 相似文献

We compare the line profiles and frequencies of low =0, 1, 2 acoustic oscillations seen in observations in velocity (by the GOLF and GONG experiments) and in intensity (LOI instrument). Our study indicates that the systematic shift between the frequencies of low- pmodes in intensity and in velocity measurements recently discovered by Toutain and co-workers is merely an artifact of their reduction techniques. The results obtained agree perfectly with the theoretical expectation that solar oscillations are the global eigenmodes simultaneously visible in velocity and intensity with the frequencies and line profiles coinciding within the error bars. 相似文献

The properties of five-minute temperature waves in the photosphere are investigated. The phase and amplitude relations of temperature and acoustic waves are deduced. It is expected that the five-minute oscillations represent a mixture of acoustic and temperature waves. The temperature waves are generated due to linear interaction with acoustic waves.It is well known that concurrent with the acoustic waves, temperature or heat waves can appear in the case of nonadiabatic disturbances (Landau and Lifshitz, 1959). The temperature waves are dissipative damped waves. Propagation of nonadiabatic hydrodynamic waves in a stratified medium have been considered by Zhugzdha (1983). If stratification of heat exchange exists, a linear interaction of hydrodynamic and temperature waves arises. The temperature waves must be present in the solar atmosphere. 相似文献

Based on observational data obtained with the RT-22 Crimean Astrophysical Observatory radio telescope at frequencies of 8.6 and 15.4 GHz, we investigate the quasi-periodic variations of microwave emission from solar active regions with periods Tp<10 min. As follows from our wavelet analysis, the oscillations with periods of 3–5 min and 10–40 s have the largest amplitudes in the dynamic power spectra, while there are virtually no oscillations with Tp<10 s. Our analysis shows that acoustic modes with Tp?1 min strongly dissipate in the lower solar corona due to thermal conduction losses. The oscillations with Tp=10–40 s are associated with Alfvén disturbances. We analyze the influence of acoustic and Alfvén oscillations on the thermal mechanisms of microwave emission in terms of the homogeneous model. We discuss the probable coronal heating sources. 相似文献

Solar five-minute oscillations have been detected in the power spectra of two six-day time intervals from soft X-ray measurements of the Sun observed as a star using the Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrophotometer (ESP) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE). The frequencies of the largest amplitude peaks were found to match the known low-degree (?=0?–?3) modes of global acoustic oscillations within 3.7 μHz and can be explained by a leakage of the global modes into the corona. Due to the strong variability of the solar atmosphere between the photosphere and the corona, the frequencies and amplitudes of the coronal oscillations are likely to vary with time. We investigated the variations in the power spectra for individual days and their association with changes of solar activity, e.g. with the mean level of the EUV irradiance, and its short-term variations caused by evolving active regions. Our analysis of samples of one-day oscillation power spectra for a 49-day period of low and intermediate solar activity showed little correlation with the mean EUV irradiance and the short-term variability of the irradiance. We suggest that some other changes in the solar atmosphere, e.g., magnetic fields and/or inter-network configuration may affect the mode leakage to the corona. 相似文献
