We have measured the brightness and latitudinal extent of the depleted (cavity) region behind the leading edge of three coronal mass ejection (CME) events from the Skylab epoch. The events chosen are among those believed to be typical of non-impulsive, loop-like CMEs (Sime, MacQueen, and Hundhausen, 1984). The pre-event coronal brightness has been matched by a model corona, assuming both a background contribution and a contribution from a range of hypothetical streamer models, distinguished by differing longitudinal extent. Then, assuming that the cavities are voided regions in which the local electron density is negligible, we estimate their minimum line-of-sight extent and find them to be comparable to, or greater than, their measured latitudinal extent. As a result, we suggest this unambiguously demonstrates the three-dimensional nature of these — and likely, this class of — events. 相似文献

On 11 September 1973 a peculiar prominence was observed. The prominence displayed strong ( 50km s–1) systematic motions toward and away from the observer. The unusual spectrographic appearance of the prominence might have been due to downflowing material lifted into the corona during an earlier coronal transient.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

We imagine the universe split into infinitely many branches, or worlds, only one of which we can observe. Our world has an entropy per baryon 109: other worlds can have all possible values of entropy per baryon. High-entropy worlds with >5×1011 do not form galaxies, but only giant black holes. Low entropy worlds with <3×105 do form galaxies, but only metal-poor dwarf galaxies with no planets. Life can evolve only in worlds with entropy per baryon in the range 3×105<<5×1011, and life is abundant only in a much narrower range. 相似文献

A re-evaluation of observations of the 16 April, 1893 solar eclipse suggests that the comet photographed during totality was, in fact, a disconnected coronal mass ejection. Like the disconnection event in 1980 reported by Illing and Hundhausen, the outward speed of the convex (toward the Sun) surface for the 1893 event was relatively low (90 km s–1). Candidate disconnection events were also observed during solar eclipses in 1860 and 1980. 相似文献

The case of a short-time disappearance of the S-component source over the active region is described and its association with events in H is discussed. Under the assumption that in this case the radio source was observed to be covered by coronal mass ejection caused by filament eruption, estimates are made of the velocity of the ejection, its linear size and of the optical thickness. 相似文献

Using the radiation hydrodynamics code CO5BOLD in its ‘star-in-a-box’ setup, we have performed exploratory simulations of global convection in a rotating reference frame. The goal is to study the interaction of convection and rotation by direct numerical simulation. For these first experiments, we chose an idealized configuration (a scaled-down, fast rotating Sun) whose properties resemble those of red supergiants in some respect. We describe the setup and time evolution of these models, and discuss the particular problems we have encountered. Finally, we derive the resulting differential rotation pattern and meridional flow field by temporal and azimuthal averaging of the simulation data. We find anti-solar differential rotation for all cases studied so far. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

A replot of period derivative against period is done for about 300 pulsars, and the main features of the plot are discussed. The significance of a gap in this plot is reexamined and the existence of pulsars with nulling and subpulse drifting behaviour below this gap is pointed out. The implications of this for pulsar evolution are also discussed. 相似文献

Observational and theoretical knowledge about global-scale solar dynamo ingredients have reached the stage that it is possible to calibrate a flux-transport dynamo for the Sun by adjusting only a few tunable parameters. The important ingredients in this class of model are differential rotation (Omega-effect), helical turbulence (alpha-effect), meridional circulation and turbulent diffusion. The meridional circulation works as a conveyor belt and governs the dynamo cycle period. Meridional circulation and magnetic diffusivity together govern the memory of the Sun's past magnetic fields. After describing the physical processes involved in a flux-transport dynamo, we will show that a predictive tool can be built from it to predict mean solar cycle features by assimilating magnetic field data from previous cycles. We will discuss the theoretical and observational connections among various predictors, such as dynamo-generated toroidal flux integral, cross-equatorial flux, polar fields and geomagnetic indices.

Precise measurement of the coronal properties of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) requires the availability of high signal-to-noise ratio data covering a wide range of X-ray energies. The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) which is highly sensitive to earlier missions in its operational energy range of 3–79 keV, allows us to arrive at precise estimates of the coronal parameters such as cut-off energy (\(E_\mathrm{cut}\)), coronal temperature (\(\textit{kT}_e\)) and geometry of the corona at least for sources that have \(E_\mathrm{cut}\) within the energy range of NuSTAR. In this paper, we present our preliminary results on the spectral analysis of two Seyfert galaxies namely 3C 120 and NGC 4151 using NuSTAR observations in the 3–79 keV band. We investigated the continuum and coronal parameters, the photon index \(\Gamma \), \(E_\mathrm{cut}\) and \(\textit{kT}_{e}\). By fitting the X-ray spectrum of 3C 120 and NGC 4151 with a simple phenomenological model, we found that both the sources showed a clear cut-off in their spectrum. 相似文献

During the total solar eclipse, 1965 May 30, a 25 cm aperturef/8.0 telescope and Fabry-Perot interferometer were operated aboard the USAF-AEC aircraft. High resolution spectra of the Fexiv emission line, 530.3 nm, were obtained. Deconvolved intensity vs wavelength profiles of the second order fringe overlay a helmet structure on the NM limb at out to 1.37R
. The profiles yield coronal temperatures, absolute intensities and Doppler velocities in regions of apparently open magnetic field structure and within the closed field lines of the helmet. Together with white light intensities the observations are interpreted to provide temperatures and turbulent velocities in and around this coronal structure. Comparison is made with a model by Billings and Roberts. We suggest a model with radial flow (solar wind) velocities of 60 km s–1 satisfies the observations in the open field line region.Work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, and portions of the analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colo. 相似文献

A search for linear polarization due to the transverse Zeeman effect in quiet regions near the heliographic north pole has been carried out. The aim is to determine new constraints on the properties of the hidden or turbulent magnetic flux of the Sun. As more than 90% of the total flux seen in magnetograms has its source in kG fluxtubes with an average filling factor of less than 1%, the term hidden magnetic flux refers to the field in the remaining 99% of the photospheric volume, which remains undetected in ordinary magnetograms (at available levels of spatial resolution and sensitivity).Simultaneous recordings of the Stokes I, Q, and V profiles of the Fei 5250.22 and 5247.06 Å lines with 5 × 5 sec of arc spatial resolution have been made with the NSO McMath solar telescope. The analysis shows how the observed Stokes Q amplitudes, as well as the Q/V ratio in combination with the 5250/5247 Stokes V line ratio, provide constraints on the field strength and the angular distribution of the field vectors of the hidden magnetic flux. The field has to be tangled with opposite polarities mixed on a subarcsec scale, and the field vectors have to have large inclinations with respect to the vertical direction, with an angular distribution not far from being isotropic in the photosphere. Constraints on the strength of this tangled or turbulent magnetic field have been obtained by previous methods, which are reconsidered in view of their dependence on the assumed angular distribution. An upper limit of 100 G comes from determinations of magnetic line broadening, a lower limit of 10 G from observed Hanle-effect depolarization.In our observations the linear polarization has been recorded with a precision of 10-4 with good spectral resolution. Further improvements are impeded by the lack of telescopes with large photon collecting areas and small instrumental polarization. 相似文献

An attempt is made to impart a constructive character to the concept of the solar flaremagnetospheric substorm analogy. An idealized scheme for a two-ribbon solar flare in the originally closed magnetosphere of the active region is discussed. The basis is formed by a terrestrial substorm scenario with two active phases (Mishin et al., 1992). While a quadrupole magnetic configuration turns out to be a solar analog of the Earth's magnetosphere. A physical mechanism that sustains the preflare storage phase, is provided by an instability like a stretching instability of the closed geomagnetotail. The storage process is attributed to the emergence into the corona of closed magnetic flux lines in adjacent (to the location of the would-be flare) regions. The flare flash-phase is determined by the change-over of the stretching instability to a disruption instability of a nonstationary (not neutral) current sheet inside the storage zone. The final recovery phase corresponds to the wellknown Pneuman-Kopp model. 相似文献

Archshaped structures above or around sunspot groups are considered as tracers of the magnetic lines of force. A study of the chromospheric contribution to the 3D general pattern is necessary to quantify this relationship. The emissive features detected in nine different active regions (AR) and observed on the disk at different levels in the chromosphere have been analysed (6 maps/AR). A good spatial correspondence is found between the maxima of Ca II K3 and H emissions. Eleven archshaped structures may be easily interpreted as loops. The footpoints are located on both sides of an inversion region in the magnetic field. They always avoid the local maxima and minima of the photospheric line-of-sight magnetic fields (H
) pattern independent of the heliographic longitude. This suggests that the magnetic lines of force may have an oblique direction relative to the solar surface.Underneath the footprints, H
is about 400–500 G and V
the line-of-sight component of velocity in the photosphere) is less than 100 m s-1 (frequently involving an inversion of velocity sign, i.e., V
= 0 line). The mean distance between the feet of the arches is about 30000 km. Height is variable: the arches are lower in the young AR, higher when it evolves, scarcely or not detectable when the AR is dying. The maximum peaks in K

v(the blue wing of K line) are observed at the periphery of the highest values of H and K
3 intensities, or at the periphery of the AR.There are no great morphological differences between the slowly-varying arches and the flaring ones. However, a new relation is found between these two kinds of chromospheric features: at the maximum of flares, the flaring arch has one of its footpoints in common with a closer stable, pre-existing arch.On leave from Nanjing University, China. 相似文献

High-resolution spectroscopic monitoring of the Nai D lines in the T Tau-type star RY Tau results in the discovery of relatively cool gas clouds ascending and descending inside the stellar wind on a time-scale of few days and co-rotating with the star. Radial velocity of the clouds varies from –100 to +100 km s–1, which is twice as large as thev sini of the star.Paper presented at the 11th European Regional Astronomical Meetings of the IAU on New Windows to the Universe, held 3–8 July, 1989, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. 相似文献

In this paper we discuss observational and theoretical arguments in favour of hypothesis on nomad life of active nuclei inside and outside galaxies as well as its consequences. It may be the anisotropic collapse of a supermassive star, or the disruption of a supermassive binary system after the collapse of one companion that would give birth to such nuclei. We predict the existence of veritable quasi-stellar active objects without any ghost gagalies. 相似文献

A localized force-free current is proposed as a model for the observed coronal loops.An upper limit for the growth rate of kink instabilities in this model is found by solving numerically, in cylinder symmetry, the MHD equation of motion, with the boundary condition = 0 outside the loop.For various current densities a spectrum of kinks is found. These instabilities will disrupt the loops that are long or strongly twisted, on a time scale of a few seconds.The kinks in short or barely twisted loops are too long to fit. 相似文献

We propose a simple 2D current sheet model of a normal prominence, in which the lines of the background magnetic field have the dip structure which seems to be required for such an object to form and to be stably supported. 相似文献

The low- coronal loop model of Sillen and Kattenberg (1980) is extended to include a surrounding current-free plasma. We calculated the dispersion curves of kink modes by solving the linearized MHD-equations of motion.We found a strong stabilizing influence on the growth rates of kink instabilities due to the surrounding plasma.In loops that are thick, have small current densities and that have a high density and a low magnetic field strength the growth times for kinks become of the order of days.Presently at Caltech, Pasadena, U.S.A.Presently at the FOM-Institute for Plasma Physics, Rijnhuizen, Nieuwegein, The Netherlands. 相似文献
