An observational study of maps of the longitudinal component of the photospheric fields in flaring active regions leads to the following conclusions:
- The broad-wing Hα kernels characteristic of the impulsive phase of flares occur within 10″ of neutral lines encircling features of isolated magnetic polarity (‘satellite sunspots’).
- Photospheric field changes intimately associated with several importance 1 flares and one importance 2B flare are confined to satellite sunspots, which are small (10″ diam). They often correspond to spot pores in white-light photographs.
- The field at these features appears to strengthen in the half hour just before the flares. During the flares the growth is reversed, the field drops and then recovers to its previous level.
- The magnetic flux through flare-associated features changes by about 4 × 1019 Mx in a day. The features are the same as the ‘Structures Magnétiques Evolutives’ of Martres et al. (1968a).
- An upper limit of 1021 Mx is set for the total flux change through McMath Regions 10381 and 10385 as the result of the 2B flare of 24 October, 1969.
- Large spots in the regions investigated did not evince flux changes or large proper motions at flare time.
- The results are taken to imply that the initial instability of a flare occurs at a neutral point, but the magnetic energy lost cannot yet be related to the total energy of the subsequent flare.
- No unusual velocities are observed in the photosphere at flare time.

In connection with the appearance of the first results of infrared observations of stellar flares, a more elaborate analysis ofnegative infrared flares as a phenomenon, predicted by the fastelectron hypothesis, has been carried out. As a result, the wavelength regions of negative flares are established for the stars of different spectral types as well as the calculated amplitudes of the negative flares (Tables I and II). The analysis of the infrared observations (c.f. Kilyachkoet al., 1978) lead to the following conclusions:
- The negative infrared flares discovered around 8000 Å is not in agreement with the theory in the case of the flare star UV Cet. Some traces of negative flares have been noted for a number of less powerful flares of EV Lac.
- The amplitudes of the recorded positive flares of UV Cet and EV Lac on λ8000 Å are in good agreement with the magnitudes predicted by the fast-electron hypothesis (non-thermal bremsstrahlung).
- In the future the negative flares around 8000 Å should be looked for in early-type flare stars of types M0-K5.
- For a positive discovery of negative flares, future observations must be carried out in the wavelength region of 1–3 μm.

The question of the chromospheric features type III association is reconsidered by using Hα filtergrams both on and off band. A set of 44 metric type III groups, for which an association can be ascertained with a high degree of confidence leads to the following results:
- The type III's have a dual chromospheric association. Sometimes they are related to a flare, sometimes to a perturbation of a different kind. The latter is seen in absorption in the Hα core and ±0.75 Å away. It is interpreted as a rather dense and cool material in motion in the chromosphere or the low corona. A part of which moves downward, the other upward. The type III's are more closely related to the downward motion.
- The type III associated absorbing features take place at the border of an active center and along an H∥ = 0 line. At the present time this appears as the most conspicuous property for marking them off from the great variety of the Hα absorbing features commonly observed on the Sun.
- Most of the type III associated flares are related to an absorbing feature of the same kind, which appears before the flare itself. This indicates that the initial instability which is responsible for the type III emission is basically the same, whether the bursts are flare associated or not.

The Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) gave us the highest EUV spatial resolution and the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectrometric Imager (RHESSI) gave us the highest hard X-ray and gammaray spectral resolution to study solar flares. We review a number of recent highlights obtained from both missions that either enhance or challenge our physical understanding of solar flares, such as:
- Multi-thermal Diagnostic of 6.7 and 8.0 keV Fe and Ni lines
- Multi-thermal Conduction Cooling Delays
- Chromospheric Altitude of Hard X-Ray Emission
- Evidence for Dipolar Reconnection Current Sheets
- Footpoint Motion and Reconnection Rate
- Evidence for Tripolar Magnetic Reconnection
- Displaced Electron and Ion Acceleration Sources.

The impulsive phases of three flares that occurred on April 10, May 21, and November 5, 1980 are discussed. Observations were obtained with the Hard X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (HXIS) and other instruments aboard SMM, and have been supplemented with Hα data and magnetograms. The flares show hard X-ray brightenings (16–30 keV) at widely separated locations that spatially coincide with bright Hα patches. The bulk of the soft X-ray emission (3.5–5.5 keV) originates from in between the hard X-ray brightenings. The latter are located at different sides of the neutral line and start to brighten simultaneously to within the time resolution of HXIS. Concluded is that:
- The bright hard X-ray patches coincide with the footpoints of loops.
- The hard X-ray emission from the footpoints is most likely thick target emission from fast electrons moving downward into the dense chromosphere.
- The density of the loops along which the beam electrons propagate to the footpoints is restricted to a narrow range (109 < n < 2 × 1010 cm-3), determined by the instability threshold of the return current and the condition that the mean free path of the fast electrons should be larger than the length of the loop.
- For the November 5 flare it seems likely that the acceleration source is located at the merging point of two loops near one of the footpoints.

The observational data permit us to establish clear statistical correlations between different parameters of stellar flare activity and the characteristics of quiet stars. These relations are:
- between energies and frequencies of flares on stars of different luminosities;
- between total radiation energies of flares and quiet stars both in X-ray and Balmer emission lines;
- between flare decay rates just after the maxima and flare luminosities at maxima.

The properties of small (< 2″) moving magnetic features near certain sunspots are studied with several time series of longitudinal magnetograms and Hα filtergrams. We find that the moving magnetic features:
- Are associated only with decaying sunspots surrounded entirely or in part by a zone without a permanent vertical magnetic field.
- Appear first at or slightly beyond the outer edge of the parent sunspot regardless of the presence or absence of a penumbra.
- Move approximately radially outward from sunspots at about 1 km s?1 until they vanish or reach the network.
- Appear with both magnetic polarities from sunspots of single polarities but appear with a net flux of the same sign as the parent sunspot.
- Transport net flux away from the parent sunspots at the same rates as the flux decay of the sunspots.
- Tend to appear in opposite polarity pairs.
- Appear to carry a total flux away from sunspots several times larger than the total flux of the sunspots.
- Produce only a very faint emmission in the core of Hα.

A sequence of 34 photographs of the main spot of the group H 26 (Daily Maps of the Sun, Freiburg 1970, Rome number 5847) has been obtained with the 38 cm refractor of the Pic-du-Midi Observatory, showing throughout a resolution very close or equal to 0′'.3. An interval of 3 hr is covered. The pictures taken at intervals of 6 min approximately permit to study the fine structure of the penumbra and associated phenomena:
- The penumbra appears to consist of bright grains, generally lined up in the form of filaments, showing up against a dark background (see Figure 1).
- The bright grains form all over the penumbra (see Figure 5).
- They move toward the umbra of the spot. Their horizontal velocity is zero at the border penumbra-photosphere and maximum at the umbral border (0.5 km s?1) (see Figures 3,4 and 8). Therefore, the grains never originate in the photosphere nor do they enter it.
- They disappear in the penumbra proper or, if they form near enough to the umbra and live long enough, they can enter the umbra and their appearance becomes similar to that of umbral dots.
- The life time of the grains is a function of their place of origin within the penumbra: It is maximum and of the order of 3 hr or more for those forming in the middle part of the penumbra, and 50 and 40 min respectively for the points formed in the inner and outer part of the penumbra.

We examine the propagation of Alfvén waves in the solar atmosphere. The principal theoretical virtues of this work are: (i) The full wave equation is solved without recourse to the small-wavelength eikonal approximation (ii) The background solar atmosphere is realistic, consisting of an HSRA/VAL representation of the photosphere and chromosphere, a 200 km thick transition region, a model for the upper transition region below a coronal hole (provided by R. Munro), and the Munro-Jackson model of a polar coronal hole. The principal results are:
- If the wave source is taken to be near the top of the convection zone, where n H = 5.2 × 1016 cm?3, and if B ⊙ = 10.5 G, then the wave Poynting flux exhibits a series of strong resonant peaks at periods downwards from 1.6 hr. The resonant frequencies are in the ratios of the zeroes of J 0, but depend on B ⊙, and on the density and scale height at the wave source. The longest period peaks may be the most important, because they are nearest to the supergranular periods and to the observed periods near 1 AU, and because they are the broadest in frequency.
- The Poynting flux in the resonant peaks can be large enough, i.e. P ⊙ ≈ 104–105 erg cm?2s?1, to strongly affect the solar wind.
- ¦δv¦ and ¦δB¦ also display resonant peaks.
- In the chromosphere and low corona, ¦δv ≈ 7–25 kms?1 and ¦δB¦ ≈0.3–1.0 G if P ⊙≈104-105 erg cm?2s?1.
- The dependences of ¦δv¦ and ¦δB¦ on height are reduced by finite wavelength effects, except near the wave source where they are enhanced.
- Near the base, ¦δB¦ ≈ 350–1200 G if P ⊙ ～- 104–105. This means that nonlinear effects may be important, and that some density and vertical velocity fluctuations may be associated with the Alfvén waves.
- Below the low corona most wave energy is kinetic, except near the base where it becomes mostly magnetic at the resonances.
- ?0 < δv 2 > v A or < δB 2 > v A/4π are not good estimators of the energy flux.
- The Alfvén wave pressure tensor will be important in the transition region only if the magnetic field diverges rapidly. But the Alfvén wave pressure can be important in the coronal hole.

It is well known to the observer of sunspots that the spots seem not to be randomly distributed on the solar surface but rather occur at an increased rate at distances of 180° of each other on the same hemisphere while northern and southern hemispheres are independent. The following investigation - based on observational data of rotations No. 1457–1568 (1962–1970) shows four main results:
- Northern and southern hemisphere behave independently.
- Each hemisphere can be divided in longitude into sections of 45° so that successive sections alternatively show higher and lower spot occurrence. In other words: maximum spot occurrence is found in intervals of about 90° and 180°.
- Second-order peaks can be found in intervals of 30° and multiples of it. The spot maxima explained above coincide with some of these second-order peaks.
- Areas of minimal spot occurrence can be traced over a long period of time. These areas can be understood as the center of long-living magnetic areas along the borders of which we find the so-called ‘streets of prominences’ with its spots. This theory of Stanek (1971) explains the occurrence of prominences. Because of the steep magnetic gradient along these streets the theory is expected to hold true even for spots. This leads to a better understanding of the pattern already known and now being generalized to ‘streets of activity’.

Evidence is discussed showing that a representative solar flare event comprises three or more separate but related phenomena requiring separate mechanisms. In particular it is possible to separate the most energetic effect (the interplanetary blast) from the thermal flare and from the rapid acceleration of particles to high energies. The phenomena are related through the magnetic structure characteristic of a composite flare event, being a bipolar surface field with most of its field lines ‘closed’. Of primary importance are helical twists on all scales, starting with the ‘flux rope’ of the spot pair which was fully twisted before it emerged. Subsequent untwisting by the upward propagation of an Alfvén twist wave provides the main flare energy.
- The interplanetary blast model is based on subsurface, helically twisted flux ropes which erupt to form spots and then transfer their twists and energy by Alfvén-twist waves into the atmospheric magnetic fields. The blast is triggered by the prior-commencing flash phase or by a coronal wave.
- The thermal flare is explained in terms of Alfvén waves travelling up numerous ‘flux strands’ (Figure 3) which have frayed away from the two flux ropes. The waves originate in interaction (collisions, bending, twisting, rubbing) between subsurface flux strands; the sudden flash is caused by a collision. The classical twin-ribbon flare results from the collision of a flux rope with a tight bunch of S-shaped flux strands.
- The impulsive acceleration of electrons (hard X-ray, EUV, Hα and radio bursts) is tentatively attributed to magnetic reconnection between fields in two parallel, helically twisted flux strands in the low corona.
- Flare (Moreton) waves in the corona have the same origin as the interplanetary blast. Sympathetic flares represent only the start of enhanced activity in a flare event already in the slow phase. Filament activation also occurs during the slow phase as twist Alfvén waves store their energy in the atmosphere.
- Flare ejecta are caused by Alfvén waves moving up flux strands. Surges are attributed to packets of twist Alfvén waves released into bundles of flux strands; the waves become non-linear and drive plasma upwards. Spray-type prominences result from accumulations of Alfvén wave energy in dome-shaped fields; excessive energy density eventually explodes the field.

Radio and X-ray observations are presented for three flares which show significant activity for several minutes prior to the main impulsive increase in the hard X-ray flux. The activity in this ‘pre-flash’ phase is investigated using 3.5 to 461 keV X-ray data from the Solar Maximum Mission, 100 to 1000 MHz radio data from Zürich, and 169 MHz radio-heliograph data from Nançay. The major results of this study are as follows:
- Decimetric pulsations, interpreted as plasma emission at densities of 109–1010 cm?3, and soft X-rays are observed before any Hα or hard X-ray increase.
- Some of the metric type III radio bursts appear close in time to hard X-ray peaks but delayed between 0.5 and 1.5 s, with the shorter delays for the bursts with the higher starting frequencies.
- The starting frequencies of these type III bursts appear to correlate with the electron temperatures derived from isothermal fits to the hard X-ray spectra. Such a correlation is expected if the particles are released at a constant altitude with an evolving electron distribution. In addition to this effect we find evidence for a downward motion of the acceleration site at the onset of the flash phase.
- In some cases the earlier type III bursts occurred at a different location, far from the main position during the flash phase.
- The flash phase is characterized by higher hard X-ray temperatures, more rapid increase in X-ray flux, and higher starting frequency of the coincident type III bursts.

Hot spots similar to those in the radio galaxy Cygnus A can be explained by the strong shock produced by a supersonic but classical jet \(\left( {u_{jet}< c/\sqrt 3 } \right)\) . The high integrated radio luminosity (L?2×1044 erg s?1) and the strength of mean magnetic field (B?2×10?4 G) suggest the hot spots are the downstream flow of a very strong shock which generates the ultrarelativistic electrons of energy ?≥20 MeV. The fully-developed subsonic turbulence amplifies the magnetic field of the jet up to 1.6×10?4 G by the dynamo effect. If we assume that the post-shock pressure is dominated by relativistic particles, the ratio between the magnetic energy density to the energy density in relativistic particles is found to be ?2×10?2, showing that the generally accepted hypothesis of equipartition is not valid for hot spots. The current analysis allows the determination of physical parameters inside hot spots. It is found that:
- The velocity of the upstream flow in the frame of reference of the shock isu 1?0.2c. Radio observations indicate that the velocity of separation of hot spots isu sep?0.05c, so that the velocity of the jet isu jet=u 1+u sep?0.25c.
- The density of the thermal electrons inside the hot spot isn 2?5×10?3 e ? cm?3 and the mass ejected per year to power the hot spot is ?4M 0yr?1.
- The relativistic electron density is less than 20% of the thermal electron density inside the hot spot and the spectrum is a power law which continues to energies as low as 30 MeV.
- The energy density of relativistic protons is lower than the energy density of relativistic electrons unlike the situation for cosmic rays in the Galaxy.

After adding the data observed in the years from 1979 to 1982 to those obtained earlier (Ding et al., 1981), we re-examine the previous results and conclude:
- The longitudinal distribution of spiral spots on the solar disc is generally the same as that of sunspot groups with areas of S p ≥ 400, but their active longitudes seem to be more concentrated.
- The distribution of spiral patterns in the southern and northern hemispheres shows that the differential rotation may be a fundamental solar dynamo for the formation of the spiral spots.
- The statistical directions of the emerging twisted magnetic vectors in the active regions in the southern and northern hemispheres are synchronously inverse with a period of about two years. This period seems to be detected in other solar observations.

Using the Baranger-Mozer method, we explore the possibility of diagnosing the flare plasma of forbidden Hei lines, that permits the determination of the plasma oscillation frequency and noise level. Examination of the Hei lines observed in solar flare has led us to conclude that:
- the appearance of satellites of forbidden components in the flares spectrum, due to turbulent electric fields, is the most probable for Hei 3819.606 Å lines;
- the Baranger-Mozer method is more sensitive to the high-frequency component of turbulent fields than to the low-frequency ones;
- the upper limit of the turbulent oscillation level in flares is evaluated.

The majority of flare activity arises in active regions which contain sunspots, while Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) activity can also originate from decaying active regions and even so-called quiet solar regions which contain a filament. Two classes of CME, namely flare-related CME events and CMEs associated with filament eruption are well reflected in the evolution of active regions. The presence of significant magnetic stresses in the source region is a necessary condition for CME. In young active regions magnetic stresses are increased mainly by twisted magnetic flux emergence and the resulting magnetic footpoint motions. In old, decayed active regions twist can be redistributed through cancellation events. All the CMEs are, nevertheless, caused by loss of equilibrium of the magnetic structure. With observational examples we show that the association of CME, flare and filament eruption depends on the characteristics of the source regions: ?the strength of the magnetic field, the amount of possible free energy storage, ?the small- and large-scale magnetic topology of the source region as well as its evolution (new flux emergence, photospheric motions, cancelling flux), and ?the mass loading of the configuration (effect of gravity). These examples are discussed in the framework of theoretical models. 相似文献

Four consecutive years of a quasi-continuous survey of the solar Lα line are presented. Absolute calibration and aging correction are evaluated producing higher quality measurements which are: -the total Lα flux, -the central Lα flux, -the blue wing flux at 0.33 Å from the center, -the slope of the blue wing at the same location. Empirical laws are deduced from this large amount of data giving a relation between these different parameters and the flux integrated over the whole line. Furthermore, other empirical laws are obtained between the total Lα flux and two solar activity indices. These relations give a possibility of evaluating the solar Lα flux even when no observation is available and, as previously found by Prinz (1974), show that to a first approximation the solar Lα flux is composed of a quiet and of an active component. The active component changes with the 27 days period; the quiet one with the 11 yr solar cycle. 相似文献

Observations of longitudinal and transversal fields and of radial velocities in the magnetic ‘knots’ close to a sunspot were made with the help of Sayan Observatory magnetograph with spatial resolution 1″.2 x 1″.8. The analysis led to following conclusions:
- The magnetic field in the knots is mainly vertical. The mean inclination of the magnetic-field vector to the vertical direction is equal to 26°.
- The phenomenon of darkening is connected with essentially vertical fields and brightening in the faculae with the horizontal fields on the sun.
- An inverse relation between the value of darkening and the inclination of the field vector to the vertical direction and a direct relation on the longitudinal magnetic-field strength exist for the magnetic knots.
- The magnetic knots in the active region are located in the Hα flocculi near the line where the radial velocity is changing sign in the photosphere.
