Quasi-periodic components (QPC) of the solar radio emission may give information about the wave (oscillation) motions in the whole depth of the solar atmosphere. Investigations of quasi-periodic components (QPC) of the radio emission fluctuations give contradictory and often doubtful results. Special care must be taken when registering fluctuations and peculiar attention have to be paid to the correctness of the mathematical processing. Results of investigation are given of the solar radio emission fluctuations carried out by 3 cm radio telescopes 1300 km spaced. The reality of QPC existence with the periods from a minute up to some hours is shown. QPC with the periods 1–10 min change during 2 hours. Some possibilities of the origin of oscillations observed are considered. 相似文献

We present a detailed thermal and structural analysis of a 2 m class solar telescope mirror which is subjected to a varying heat load at an observatory site. A 3-dimensional heat transfer model of the mirror takes into account the heating caused by a smooth and gradual increase of the solar flux during the day-time observations and cooling resulting from the exponentially decaying ambient temperature at night. The thermal and structural response of two competing materials for optical telescopes, namely Silicon Carbide – best known for excellent heat conductivity and Zerodur – preferred for its extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion, is investigated in detail. The insight gained from these simulations will provide a valuable input for devising an efficient and stable thermal control system for the primary mirror. 相似文献

Electron beams accelerated during solar flares carry electric currents which should be neutralized by so-called return currents.
Both the electron beam and return current modify the electron distribution function in the solar transition region and low
corona. Thus, they influence the intensities of the spectral lines formed in these layers. Synthetic spectra for the solar
flare atmosphere are computed from model conditions and the possibilities of diagnostics of the return current from the EUV
and X-ray line spectra are discussed. 相似文献

The correlation coefficients of the linear regression of six solar indices versus 10.7 cm radio flux F 10.7 were analysed in solar cycles 21, 22 and 23. We also analysed the interconnection between these indices and F 10.7 with help of approximation by polynomials of second order. The indices we have studied in this paper are: the relative sunspot numbers – SSN, 530.3 nm coronal line flux – F 530, the total solar irradiance – TSI, Mg II 280 nm core-to-wing ratio UV-index, the Flare Index – FI and the counts of flares. In most cases the regressions of these solar indices vs. F 10.7 are close to the linear regression except the moments of time near the minimums and maximums of the 11-year activity. For the linear regressions, we found that correlation coefficients K corr(t) for the solar indices vs. F 10.7 and SSN dropped to their minimum values twice during each 11-year cycle. 相似文献

Irradiance variability has been monitored from space for more than two decades. Even though data come from different sources, it is well established that a temporal variability exists ≈0.1%, in phase with the solar cycle. Today, one of the best explanations for such an irradiance variability is provided by the evolution of the solar surface magnetic fields. But if some 90–95% can be reproduced, what would be the origin of the 10–5% left? Non-magnetic effects are conceivable. In this paper we will consider temporal variations of the diameter of the Sun as a possible contributor for the remaining part. Such an approach imposes strong constraints on the solar radius variability. We will show that over a solar cycle, variations of no more than 20 mas of amplitude can be considered. Such a variability – far from what is reported by observers conducting measurements by means of ground-based solar astrolabes – may explain a little part of the irradiance changes not explained by magnetic features. Further, requirements are needed that may help to reach a conclusion. Dedicated space missions are necessary (for example PICARD, GOLF-NG or SDO, scheduled for a launch around 2008); it is also proposed to reactivate SDS flights for such a purpose. 相似文献

Abstract— Noble gases repeatedly have served to widen the scope of meteorite research. During the first half century of such measurements, the emphasis was on the determination of U, Th/He-gas retention ages of iron meteorites, which is the most unsuitable class of meteorites for such studies. With the realization that the He in these meteorites results from the interaction of cosmic rays with meteoritic matter, meteorites became to be used as “the poor man's space probe” that yielded information on the constancy in time and space of the cosmic radiation. Another widening of scope came with the discovery of extremely high noble gas contents in the outermost layers of the individual grains that make up stony meteorites. These gases are of solar origin; they have been implanted as low-energy solar wind (SW) or as solar energetic particles (SEP) into the grains before their compaction. Presently they offer the only opportunity to precisely measure the isotopic composition of solar matter and to learn about potential changes of the Sun in time. Stony meteorites of the “carbonaceous” variety contain “stardust” that carries the undiluted nucleosynthesis products of individual stars that yield incredibly detailed information concerning the parameters that prevailed during the synthesis. 相似文献

We investigate the method by which nearby supernovae – within a few tens of pc of the solar system – can penetrate the solar system and deposit live radioactivities on earth. The radioactive isotopic signatures that could potentially leave an observable geological imprint are in the form of refractory metals; consequently, it is likely they would arrive in the form of supernova-produced dust grains. Such grains can penetrate into the solar system more easily than the bulk supernova plasma, which gets stalled and deflected near the solar system due to the solar wind plasma pressure. We therefore examine the motion of charged grains as they decouple from the supernova plasma and are influenced by the solar magnetic, radiation, and gravitational fields. We characterize the dust trajectories with analytical approximations which display the roles of grain size, initial velocity, and surface voltage. These results are verified with full numerical simulations for wide ranges of dust properties. We find that supernova dust grains traverse the inner solar system nearly undeflected, if the incoming grain velocity – which we take to be that of the incident supernova remnant – is comparable to the solar wind speeds and much larger than the escape velocity at 1 AU. Consequently, the dust penetration to 1 AU has essentially 100% transmission probability and the dust capture onto the earth should have a geometric cross section. Our results cast in a new light the terrestrial deposition of radioisotopes from nearby supernovae in the geological past. For explosions beyond ～10 pc from earth, dust grains can still deliver supernova ejecta to earth, and thus the amount of supernova material deposited is set by the efficiency of dust condensation and survival in supernovae. Turning the problem around, we use observations of live 60Fe in both deep-ocean and lunar samples to infer a conservative lower bound iron condensation efficiency of Mdust,Fe/Mtot,Fe ? 4 × 10?4 for the supernova which apparently produced these species 2–3 Myr ago. 相似文献

Newly formed stars have magnetic fields provided by the compression of the interstellar field, and contrary to a widely accepted idea these fields are not destroyed by convective motions. For the same reason, the fallacy of ‘turbulent diffusion’, turbulent dynamo action is not possible in any star. Thus all stellar magnetic fields have a common origin, and persist throughout the lifetime of each star, including degenerate phases. This common origin, and a general similarity in stellar evolutionary processes, suggest that the fields may develop similar structural characteristics and MHD effects. This would open new possibilities of coordinating the studies of different types of stars and relating them to solar physics which has tended to become isolated from general stellar physics. As an initial step we consider three features of solar magnetic fields and their MHD effects. First, the solar magnetic field comprises two separate components: a poloidal field and a toroidal field. The former is a dipole field, permeating the entire Sun and closely aligned with the rotational axis; at the surface it is always concealed by much stronger elements of the toroidal field. The latter is probably wound from the former by differential rotation at latitudes below about 35°, where sections emerge through the solar surface and are then carried polewards. The second feature of solar magnetic fields is that all flux is concentrated into flux tubes of strength some kG, isolated within a much larger volume of non-magnetic plasma. The third feature is that the flux tubes are helically twisted into flux ropes (up to ?1022Mx) and smaller elements ranging down to flux fibres (? 1018Mx). Some implications of similar features in other stars are discussed. 相似文献

Although diffusion is usually associated with equalizing of the chemical composition, the pressure and temperature gradients inside the Sun cause elemental diffusion segregation. While light hydrogen is flowing up to the solar envelope, helium and heavier elements are settling down to the core. The target of our simulation is an accurate estimation of the settling rate in solar plasma during the course of solar evolution. The rate of helium depletion in the envelope is a key parameter of the solar evolution and depends on position and conditions around the base of the convective mixing zone. The rate of heavy element settling is sensitive to the degree of ionization and interaction with the radiation flux. We estimate the effect of ion ionization on the settling rate for several heavy elements up to iron in the framework of the LTE assumption and the thermodynamic calculation according to SAHA-S EOS. 相似文献

We investigate the organization of the low energy energetic particles (≤1 MeV) by solar wind structures, in particular corotating interaction regions (CIRs) and shocks driven by interplanetary coronal mass ejections, during the declining-to-minimum phase of Solar Cycle 23 from Carrington rotation 1999 to 2088 (January 2003 to October 2009). Because CIR-associated particles are very prominent during the solar minimum, the unusually long solar minimum period of this current cycle provides an opportunity to examine the overall organization of CIR energetic particles for a much longer period than during any other minimum since the dawn of the Space Age. We find that the particle enhancements associated with CIRs this minimum period recurred for many solar rotations, up to 30 at times, due to several high-speed solar wind streams that persisted. However, very few significant CIR-related energetic particle enhancements were observed towards the end of our study period, reflecting the overall weak high-speed streams that occurred at this time. We also contrast the solar minimum observations with the declining phase when a number of solar energetic particle events occurred, producing a mixed particle population. In addition, we compare the observations from this minimum period with those from the previous solar cycle. One of the main differences we find is the shorter recurrence rate of the high-speed solar wind streams (～10 solar rotations) and the related CIR energetic particle enhancements for the Solar Cycle 22 minimum period. Overall our study provides insight into the coexistence of different populations of energetic particles, as well as an overview of the large-scale organization of the energetic particle populations approaching the beginning of Solar Cycle 24. 相似文献

Experimental and methodical possibilities of modern observations of the solar K-corona have been analyzed. It is shown that for obtaining information on matter distribution and dynamics in the internal solar corona, it is necessary to measure both its polarization component and its total radiation in the continuum. In order to reduce the atmospheric and instrumental background, the employment of K-coronameters with an apodized liquid mirror is proposed. Such coronameters should operate in the near infrared range and be installed at a latitude zone where the Sun can be observed in the zenith. 相似文献

硬X射线成像是研究太阳耀斑等爆发现象的重要手段.由于采用调制成像而非直接成像的原因, X射线图像在日面上的位置需要借助太阳指向镜提供的仪器指向的日面坐标来确定.因此,指向信息对于耀斑定位实现多波段研究,理解太阳耀斑的物理过程具有重要的科学意义.在此对两种太阳指向镜指向信息的获取算法进行了测试.结合太阳指向镜的设计方案,首先利用SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory)/AIA (Atmospheric Imaging Assembly) 4500?的数据产生测试图像,其次对其进行二值化处理,分别提取日面轮廓和4个边角指定区域面积;最后分别利用最小二乘法和四象限法对太阳中心坐标进行反演.初步结果显示最小二乘法受随机噪声影响小,定位精度相对稳定约为0.25′′,并可提供四象限法解算的初值;后者的精度可以优于0.14′′,但受随机噪声影响较大.两种算法的精度都显著优于硬X射线成像仪(Hard X-ray Imager, HXI)太阳指向镜的设计要求,可为指向数据在将来科学分析中的实际应用提供参考. 相似文献

Helioseismic data are often interrupted by gaps, which diminish the quality of the data. In the frequency domain, these gaps lead to systematical effects with misleading interpretation of the power spectra. We propose a gap filling method that is based on modeling solar oscillation data with a statistical process, i.e., the stochastic nature of a single oscillation is taken into account by regarding it as realization of an autoregressive (AR) processes of second order. From the whole oscillation time series given as the superposition of the realization of many excited modes, the process parameters are estimated via the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. Then the estimated model is used to predict the further course of the oscillatory process during occurring gaps. We demonstrate the applicability of this procedure on the basis of both simulations and data obtained with the DIFOS satellite experiment suffering from gaps of 30 min duration occurring regularly every 90 min due to the orbit around the Earth. 相似文献

We study the possibilities of the separation of solar electromagnetic and corpuscular impacts on the terrestrial lower atmosphere by examining their characteristic differences. We focus on the behaviour of the solar-meteorological correlation with respect to characteristic magnetic properties. Examples are given that the solar meteorological correlation - the efficiency of the solar impact - depends on the Sun-Earth attitude, the polarity of the solar main dipole field (and IMF) and the type of the geomagnetic events. This can explain the virtual disappearance or reversal of certain solar-meteorological effects. 相似文献

Solar spectral irradiance at X-ray wavelengths show large variations over a period of solar cycle. We use X-ray irradiance data in three narrow spectral regimes deduced from Yohkoh SXT measurements to study coronal irradiance and their possible association with the activity in the lower atmosphere. Time variation of the X-ray irradiance is important in understanding the emergence of magnetic flux and the effects of such variation on the upper atmosphere of the Earth. We note that about 66% of the total (2 – 30 Å) X-ray irradiance arise from 10 to 20 Å spectral range, while 2 – 10 Å contribute only about 3% of the total. The time variation in 2 – 10 and 10 – 20 Å ranges follow each other closely. Further they follow closely the solar indices such as sunspot, F 10.7, and plage indices, although similarity in the variation of 10 – 20 Å is quite apparent. However, the variation in the other spectral band (20 – 30 Å) differ to a large extent except for the solar cycle dependent variation. We infer that in addition to the active regions, the remnants of active regions contribute considerably to the emission in this spectral range. 相似文献

Cassini’s Titan flyby on 16 April, 2005 (T5) is the only encounter when the two main ionizing sources of the moon’s atmosphere, solar radiation and corotating plasma, align almost anti-parallel. In this paper a single-fluid multi-species 3D MHD model of the magnetospheric plasma interaction for T5 conditions is analyzed. Model results are compared to observations to investigate the ionospheric dynamics at Titan as well as to understand the deviations from a typical solar wind interaction, such as Venus’ interaction with the solar wind. Model results suggest that for the T5 interaction configuration, corotating plasma is the dominant driver determining the global interaction features at high altitudes. In the lower ionosphere below ～1500 km altitude – where the control of the ionospheric composition transfers from dynamic to chemical processes – magnetic and thermal pressure gradients oppose each other locally, complicating the ionospheric dynamics. Model results also imply that the nightside ionosphere – produced only by the impact ionization in the model – does not provide enough thermal pressure to balance the incident plasma dynamic pressure. As a result, the induced magnetic barrier penetrates into the ionosphere by plasma convection down to ～1000 km altitude and by magnetic diffusion below this altitude. Moreover, strong horizontal drag forces due to ion-neutral collisions and comparable drag forces estimated from possible neutral winds in the lower ionosphere below ～1400 km altitude oppose over local regions, implying that the Titan interaction must be treated as a 3D problem. Ion and electron densities calculated from the model generally agree with the Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer and Langmuir probe measurements; however, there are significant differences between the calculated and measured magnetic fields. We discuss possible explanations for the discrepancy in the magnetic field predictions. 相似文献

The Carte Synoptique catalogue of solar filaments from 1919 March to 1957 July, corresponding to complete cycles 16‐18, is utilized to show the latitudinal migrations of solar filaments at low (≤50°) and high (>50°) latitudes and the latitudinal distributions of solar filaments for all solar filaments, solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are less than or equal to 70° and solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are larger than 70°. The results show the following. (1) The latitudinal migrations of all low‐latitude solar filaments and low‐latitude solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are less than or equal to 70° follow the Spörer sunspot law. However, the latitudinal migration of low‐latitude solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are larger than 70° do not follow the Spörer sunspot law: there is no equatorward and no poleward drift. The latitudinal migration of high‐latitude solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are larger than 70° is more significant than those of all high‐latitude solar filaments and high‐latitude solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are less than or equal to 70°: there is a poleward migration from the latitude of about 50° to 70° and an equatorward migration from the latitude of about 70° to 50° of all high‐latitude solar filaments and high‐latitude solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are less than or equal to 70° and there is a poleward migration from the latitude of about 50° to 80° and an equatorward migration from the latitude of about 80° to 50° of high‐latitude solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are larger than 70°. (2) The statistical characteristics of latitudinal distribution of solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are larger than 70° is different from those of all solar filaments and solar filaments whose maximum lengths during solar disk passage are less than or equal to 70° (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
