Solar flare spectral data, covering the wavelength range 0.7–8.5 Å, are derived from the NRL Bragg crystal spectrometers aboard OSO-4. A detailed analysis of the soft X-ray spectra for the 3b flare of 16 November 1967 (2140 UT) is presented, and it is found that electron temperatures derived from continua and emission lines are compatible with a two or more component plasma, differing in temperature by 6–10 × 106K.  相似文献

Solar X-ray observations from balloons and from the SMM and HINOTORI spacecraft have revealed evidence for a super-hot thermal component with a temperature of 3 × 107 K in many solar flares, in addition to the usual 10–20 × 106 K soft X-ray flare plasma. We have systematically studied the decay phase of 35 solar flare X-ray events observed by ISEE-3 during 1980. Based on fits to the continuum X-ray spectrum in the 4.8–14 keV range and to the intensity of the 1.9 Å feature of iron lines, we find that 15 (about 43%) of the analyzed events have a super-hot thermal component in the decay phase of the flare. In this paper the important properties of the super-hot thermal component in the decay phase are summarized. It is found that an additional input of energy is required to maintain the super-hot thermal components. Finally, it is suggested that the super-hot thermal component in the decay phase is created through the reconnection of the magnetic field during the decay phase of solar flares.  相似文献

Sudden phase anomalies (SPA's) observed in the phase of GBR 16 kHz VLF signals during the years 1977 to 1983 have been analysed in the light of their associated solar X-ray fluxes in the 0.5–4 Å and 1–8 Å bands. An attempt has been made to investigate the solar zenith angle () dependence of the integrated solar X-ray flux for producing SPA's. It is deduced from the observations for < 81° that the phase deviation increases linearly as a whole with increasing solar X-ray fluxes in these two bands. The threshold X-ray flux needed to produce a detectable SPA effect has been estimated to be 1.6 × 10–4 ergcm–2 s–1 and 1.8 × 10–3 ergcm–2 s–1 in the 0.5–4 Å and 1–8 Å bands, respectively. For both bands the average cross section for all atmospheric constituents at a height of 70 km is almost equal to the absorption cross section for the 3 Å X-ray emission.  相似文献

Hot regions in solar flares produce X-radiation and microwaves by thermal processes. Recent X-ray data make it possible to specify the temperature and emission measure of the soft X-ray source, by using, for instance, a combination of the 1–8 Å (peak response at about 2 keV) and the 0.5–3 Å (peak response at about 5 keV) broad-band photometers. The temperatures and emission measures thus derived satisfactorily explain the radio fluxes, within systematic errors of about a factor of 3. Comparison of 15 events with differing parameters shows that a hot solar flare region has an approximately isothermal temperature distribution. The time evolution of the correlation in a single event shows that the hot material originates in the chromosphere, rather than the corona. The density must lie between 1010 and 2 × 1011 cm–3. For an Importance 1 flare, this implies a stored energy of roughly 2 x 1030-1029 ergs. A refinement of the data will enable us to choose between conductive and radiative cooling models.  相似文献

The burst component of the solar X-ray flux in the soft wavelength range 2 < < 12 Å observed from Explorer 33 and Explorer 35 from July 1966 to September 1968 was analyzed. In this period 4028 burst peaks were identified.The differential distributions of the temporal and intensity parameters of the bursts revealed no separation into more than one class of bursts. The most frequently observed value for rise time was 4 min and for decay time was 12 min. The distribution of the ratio of rise to decay time can be represented by an exponential with exponent -2.31 from a ratio of 0.3 to 2.7; the maximum in this distribution occurred at a ratio of 0.3. The values of the total observed flux, divided by the background flux at burst maximum, can be represented by a power law with exponent -2.62 for ratios between 1.5 and 32. The distribution of peak burst fluxes can be represented by a power law with exponent - 1.75 over the range 1–100 milli-erg (cm2 sec)–1. The flux time integral values are given by a power law with exponent -1.44 over the range 1–50 erg cm–2.The distribution of peak burst flux as a function of H importance revealed a general tendency for larger peak X-ray fluxes to occur with both larger H flare areas and with brighter H flares. There is no significant dependence of X-ray burst occurrence on heliographic longitude; the emission thus lacks directivity.The theory of free-free emission by a thermal electron distribution was applied to a composite quantitative discussion of hard X-ray fluxes (data from Arnoldy et al., 1968; Kane and Winckler, 1969; and Hudson et al., 1969) and soft X-ray fluxes during solar X-ray bursts. Using bursts yielding measured X-ray intensities in three different energy intervals, covering a total range of 1–50 keV, temperatures and emission measures were derived. The emission measure was found to vary from event to event. The peak time of hard X-ray events was found to occur an average of 3 min before the peak time of the corresponding soft X-ray bursts. Thus a changing emission measure during the event is also required. A free-free emission process with temperatures of 12–39 × 106K and with an emission measure in the range 3.6 × 1047 to 2.1 × 1050 cm–3 which varies both from event to event and within an individual event is required by the data examined.Now at Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey.  相似文献

The soft X-ray emission of the solar corona is investigated by comparison of the signals of several broad band photometers carried on the Solrad 9 satellite, and sensitive to the region 0.5–20 Å. Temperature from 1.5 × 106 to 25 × 106 K have been measured with emission measure N e 2 dV ranging between 1050 cm–3 to 1047 cm–3.By means of the observational data and assuming magnetic confinement and hydrostatic equilibrium, the model of an active region is investigated. For temperatures larger than 107K the emission is due to flare activity and two sets of emission measure are observed which appear to be related to the evolution of flares.  相似文献

X-ray photographs obtained with a zone plate camera on October 3, 1967 in the wavelength band 49.5–52.5 Å have been investigated photometrically.The most intense X-ray emission corresponds with active regions in H and Ca ii. About one quarter of the total solar flux is emitted by the three brightest X-ray sources (A, E and J). X-ray emission from quiet regions is also observed. Limb brightening is found, also at the poles, which indicates a higher electron density at the poles than during solar minimum.The brightest X-ray regions have a very small core of the order of 20. No relation to magnetic field strengths of sunspots has been found. However, a correlation with active prominences cannot be ruled out. X-ray source A is related either to prominence activity or to flare activity. One X-ray region (J) is probably related to flare activity.Assuming an electron temperature of 3 × 106K to 5 × 106K for coronal active regions an emission measure of a few times 1049 cm–3 is derived, which yields an electron density of a few times 1010 cm–3.  相似文献

We report some results of a rocket experiment flown on 29 April, 1971. A survey of the solar corona was carried out with a pair of collimated Bragg spectrometers to study the resonance, intersystem and forbidden line emission from the helium-like ions O vii (22 Å) and Ne ix (13 Å). In the direction of dispersion the collimator provided a field of view of 1.7. Also, the continuum radiation near 3 Å was monitored by a collimated proportional counter within a view angle of 4.2. The observed X-ray emission came from the general corona, seven plage regions, and one dynamic feature- the late stage of a small flare. From the intensity of the O vii and Ne ix resonance lines the electron temperature and emission measure of the individual emitting regions are derived on the basis of two models, one (a) in which the region is assumed to be isothermal and another (b) in which the emission measure decreases exponentially with increasing temperature. The latter model, which is the most adequate of the two, yields for the electron temperature of the time-varying feature 2–3 × 106 K, for the other active regions 1.5–2.5 × 106 K, and for the general corona 1.3–1.7 × 106 K. The Ne ix emitting regions are about 1.5 times as hot as the O vii regions. The emission measure ranges from 0.4–2.3 × 1048 cm–3 for all active regions and is about 2 × 1049 cm–3 for one hemisphere of the general corona above 106 K. From an analysis of the ratio, R, of the forbidden and intersystem lines of O vii we conclude that none of the regions producing these lines at the time of the rocket flight had electron densities exceeding about 3 × 109 cm–3. Our data demonstrate a dependence of R upon temperature in agreement with the theory of Blumenthal et al. (1971). The wavelengths for the intersystem, the 1s 22s 2 S e–1s2p2s 2 P 0 satellite, and the forbidden transition show in the case of Ne ix improved agreement with predictions. The observed strength of the satellite lines for both O vii and Ne ix agrees with the predictions of Gabriel's (1972) theory, which attributes their formation to dielectronic recombination.We are saddened to report the death of A. J. Meyerott on 13 November, 1971.  相似文献

The UCSD solar X-ray instrument on the OSO-7 satellite observes X-ray bursts in the 2–300 keV range with 10.24 s time resolution. Spectra obtained from the proportional counter and scintillation counter are analyzed for the event of November 16, 1971, at 0519 UT in terms of thermal (exponential spectrum) and non-thermal (power law) components. The energy content of the approximately 20 × 106K thermal plasma increased with the 60 s duration hard X-ray burst which entirely preceded the 5 keV soft X-ray maximum. If the hard X-rays arise by thick target bremsstrahlung, the nonthermal electrons above 10 keV have sufficient energy to heat the thermally emitting plasma. In the thin target case the collisional energy transfer from non-thermal electrons suffices if the power law electron spectrum is extrapolated below 10 keV, or if the ambient plasma density exceeds 4 × 1010 cm–3.Formerly at UCSD.  相似文献

Using measurements of EUV and X-ray spectral lines we derive the differential emission measure vs electron temperature T from the transition region to the corona of an active region (105 T <5 × 106 K). The total emission measure and radiative losses are of order 3 × 1048 cm–3 and 4 × 1026 ergss–1 respectively. The emission measure at T > 106 K (i.e. that mainly responsible for the X-ray emission) is about 75% of the total. We also examine the use of Mg x 625 Å as an indicator of coronal electron density. A set of theoretical energy balance models of coronal loops in which the loop divergence is a variable parameter is presented and compared with the observations. Particular attention is given to the limitations inherent in any such comparison.  相似文献

Extreme ultraviolet spectra of several active regions are presented and analyzed. Spectral intensities of 3 active regions observed with the NRL Skylab XUV spectroheliograph (170–630 Å) are derived. From this data density sensitive line ratios of Mg viii, Si x, S xii, Fe ix, Fe x, Fe xi, Fe xii, Fe xiii, Fe xiv, and Fe xv are examined and typically yield, to within a factor of 2, electron pressures of 1 dyne cm–2 (n e T = 6 × 1015 cm–3 K). The differential emission measure of the brightest 35 × 35 portion of an active region is obtained between 1.4 × 104 K and 5 × 106 K from HCO OSO-VI XUV (280–1370 Å) spectra published by Dupree et al. (1973). Stigmatic EUV spectra (1170–1710 Å) obtained by the NRL High Resolution Telescope and Spectrograph (HRTS) are also presented. Doppler velocities as a function of position along the slit are derived in an active region plage and sunspot. The velocities are based on an absolute wavelength scale derived from neutral chromospheric lines and are accurate to ±2 km s–1. Downflows at 105 K are found throughout the plage with typical velocities of 10 km s–1. In the sunspot, downflows are typically 5 to 20 km s–1 over the umbra and zero over the penumbra. In addition localized 90 and 150 km s–1 downflows are found in the umbra in the same 1 × 1 resolution elements which contain the lower velocity downflows. Spectral intensities and velocities in a typical plage 1 resolution element are derived. The velocities are greatest ( 10 km s–1) at 105 K with lower velocities at higher and lower temperatures. The differential emission measure between 1.3 × 104 K and 2 × 106 K is derived and is found to be comparable to that derived from the OSO-VI data. An electron pressure of 1.4 dynes cm–2 (n e T = 1.0 × 1016 cm–3 K) is determined from pressure sensitive line ratios of Si iii, O iv, and N iv. From the data presented it is shown that convection plays a major role in determining the structure and dynamics of the active region transition zone and corona.  相似文献

Solar-flare observations in the extreme ultraviolet (300–1350 Å) are reported. Some 269 flares observed by the Harvard College Observatory (HCO) experiment on OSO 4 and 211 flares observed by the HCO experiment on OSO 6 have been analyzed. The flares were observed in spectral lines and continua emitted by many ionic species over a temperature range from 104 to 3.5 × 106 K. The EUV data have been correlated with X-ray, H, and radio observations, and a significant number of EUV bursts not associated with reported H, X-ray, or radio bursts have been iden tified and investigated. The results indicate that these latter EUV events are less energetic by about a factor of 2 than EUV bursts associated with — F subflares.  相似文献

The thermal conductivity of an Apollo 12 fines sample (12001,19) was measured under vacuum conditions over a temperature range of 200 K to 400 K for a density of 1640 kg/m3. It was found to vary from approximately 1.2 × 10–3 W/m – K to about 2.6 × 10–3 W/m – K respectively. A least-squares curve fitted to the data according to the relationk =A +BT 3 was found to represent the data satisfactorily.  相似文献

By analysing the data of Yohkoh soft X-ray images, vector magnetograms and 2D spectral observations, coronal loops above a large sunspot on 16–19 May 1994 have been studied. It is shown that the loops follow generally the alignment of concentrated magnetic flux. The results indicate that the soft X-ray emission is low just above the sunspot, while some loops connecting regions with opposite magnetic polarities show strong soft X-ray emission. Especially, the part of the loops near the weaker magnetic field region tends to be brighter than the one near the stronger magnetic field. The temperature around the top of the loops is typically 3 × 106 K, which is higher than that at the legs of the loops by a factor of 1.5–2.0. The density near the top of the loops is about 5 x 109 cm-3, which is higher than that of the leg parts of the loops. These loops represent probably the sites where strong magnetic flux and/or current are concentrated.  相似文献

Semi-quantitative reports of shortwave radio reception during the 12 November 1966 total solar eclipse have been used to determine the characteristics of a major source of D layer ionization. An effective electron depletion coefficient of 1.2 × 10–2 sec–1 was found empirically and used to reduce the data. Analysis of the radio absorption shows the source was located near heliographic coordinates, B = +7°, L = 340° and was probably less than 0.5 of arc in diameter. At the time of the eclipse, the source accounted for 40% of the radio absorption on a single, vertical pass through the D layer. Preoccultation behavior of the signal strength is interpreted by assuming a portion of the source X-ray flux was reflected at grazing incidence from the limb of moon. For point sources, such reflections have specific chromatic characteristics which were used to derive a crude source spectrum in the 3–140 Å range. X-ray absorption edges of N, O, Na, Be, and possible Mg, Ar, Ne, Ca, and K arising from the terrestrial atmosphere have been identified. A source temperature approximately twice that of the rest of the corona is indicated.  相似文献

Scanning spectrometer measurements in the range 1310–270 Å, observed from the satellite OSO 3, are reported for the solar flare of 2114 UT March 27, 1967. This flare was a long lasting sequence of bursts with EUV spectra consisting of enhanced lines and recombination continua normally emitted from the chromosphere and chromosphere-corona transition region, with unusually small increases in lines normally emited from the corona. An EUV flare spectrum is presented and suggested as one example for interpreting broadband observations of EUV bursts. Any broadband continuum other than known recombination continua contributed less than 6 % of the meassured line and hydrogen recombination continua in the range 270–1310 Å. The ratio of photon flux of Ciii 1176 Å to that of Ciii 977 Å was 0.86, which suggests an ambient density in the region of emission greater than 1012 cm-3 at temperatures near 60000 K.  相似文献

An interpretation is given of the observations of the continuous solar radiation in the spectral range 600–1700 Å. The model allows for deviations from LTE of H, C, Si and S, and is in hydrostatic equilibrium. The predicted intensity from 1680 to 1520 Å has virtually no dependence on the electron temperature variation in the optical depth range 10–3–4 × 10–5, at 5000 Å; the brightness temperature is compatible with a low electronic temperature minimum near the optical depth 10–4. The model of the low chromosphere is characterized by a steep temperature gradient. The model satisfies observations at millimeter wavelengths.  相似文献

Wavelengths of clean atmospheric water lines, and some solar lines, in the wavelength interval 10750 Å to 10900 Å have been measured to an accuracy approaching ± 1 mÅ. Strengths and wavelengths have been measured for all atmospheric water lines with absorption coefficients > 5 × 10–4 cm–1 gm–1 cm–2 at 280K, that lie within 15 Å of the He I 10830 Å featur of the stronger He component is affected by a weak water line which reduces atmospheric transmission by nearly 1 % with 10 mm precipitable water in the line of sight.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation.  相似文献

A very low upper limit of 0.15 mÅ for the interstellar 6707 Å Lii line has been recently derived towards the SN1987a by Baade and Magain (1988). This value corresponds toN(Li)<1.4×1011 cm–2 and gives [Li/H]<5.4×10–11 assumingN(Hi)=2.6×1021 cm–2 for the hydrogen column density in the LMC towards SN1987a. This value is lower than the Li abundance found in the Population II stars and lower than the minimum abundance allowed in the framework of the standard Big-Bang theory. We indirectly estimate the Li depletion usingKi observations and show that a depletion of 1.2 dex is plausible. Therefore, an interstellar abundance [Li/H] as high as 0.8×10–9 cannot be excluded. Any improvement in the above-mentioned upper limit will place important constraints on current theories for lithium nucleosynthesis.High-resolution IUE spectra of the SN1987a have been analysed in search for IS 1362 ÅBii resonance lines. A minimum detectable equivalent width of 22 mÅ has been found, that impliesN(B)<1.2×10–12 cm–2 and [B/H]<4.7×10–10 cm–2, i.e., comparable to the solar value of [B/H]=4×10–10. This limit is the most stringent derived so far for an external galaxy, and suggests that the rate of spallation processes in the LMC has not been higher than in our own Galaxy.  相似文献

We studied the morphology and spatial distribution of loops in an active region, using coordinated observations obtained with both the S082A XUV spectroheliograph and the S056 grazingincidence X-ray telescope on Skylab. The active region loops in the temperature range 5 × 105 –3 × 106 K fall basically into two distinctive groups: the hot loops with temperatures 2–3 × 106 K as observed in coronal lines and X-rays, and the relatively cool loops with temperature 5 × 105 –1 × 106 K as observed in transition-zone lines (Ne vii, Mg ix). The brightest hot coronal loops in the active region are mostly low-lying, compact, closely-packed, and show greater stability than the transition-zone loops, which are fewer in number, large, and slender. The observed aspect ratio of the hot coronal loops is in the range of 0.1 and 0.2, which are almost two orders of magnitude larger than those for the Ne vii loops. Brief discussion of the MHD stability of the loops in terms of the aspect ratio is presented.  相似文献
