Asymmetrical Stokes profiles are produced if the photospheric magnetic and velocity fields are structured on scales smaller than the mean-free-path of the photons. Here we put forward a compact analytical expression for the radiative transfer equation in this case. Explicitly, micro-variations of the magnetic field strength and the velocity are considered. The existence of micro-structures might have serious implications on the techniques currently used to measure solar magnetic fields. For example, we show the failure of the relationship employed to calibrate magnetographs.On leave from the Dipartimento di Astronomia e Scienza dello Spazio, Università di Firenze, Largo E.

Non-LTE polarized radiative transfer in intermediate magnetic fields: Numerical problems and results
This paper presents some numerical results relative to a solution, based on the density matrix formalism, of the non-LTE, polarized radiative transfer problem for a two-level atom. The results concern the atomic upper level population and alignment, and the emergent radiation Stokes profiles, for a plane-parallel, static, isothermal atmosphere embedded in a magnetic field of intermediate strength, such that the Zeeman splitting has to be taken into account in the line profile. Zeeman coherences are neglected, whereas magneto-optical effects are taken into account, resulting in a full 4×4 absorption matrix. Induced emission is neglected and complete frequency redistribution, in the rest and laboratory frames, is assumed. Pure Doppler absorption profile (gaussian shape) has also been assumed. The presentation of the results is preceded by a brief discussion of their accuracy and of the numerical difficulties that were met in the solution of the problem.On leave from the Dipartimento di Astronomia e Scienza dello Spazio, Università di Firenze, Largo E.

The net circular polarization in a spectral line due to the combined effect of magnetic fields and velocity gradients is analyzed for a few schematic situations. In some particular cases, its dependence on the magnetic field, velocity field and line parameters can be expressed analytically.On leave from Dipartimento di Astronomia e Scienza dello Spazio, Università di Firenze, Largo E.

The development of effective iterative methods capable of accurately solving NLTE Stokes transfer problems is of considerable importance for the investigation of solar and stellar magnetic fields. After briefly indicating the iterative approach which is being presently pursued for the exact solution of such problems, the particular regime where polarization signals can only be due to the Zeeman effect is considered in some detail. By means of NLTE Stokes transfer calculations for a two-level atomic model it is first shown that the currently-used field-free approximation (Rees, 1969) cannot be safely applied in the presence of magnetic field gradients. Such gradients lead to changes in the shape and width of the line profiles and they can produce non-negligible effects on the atomic level populations and line source functions. A new approximate method is then proposed, which does not require the actual solution of the Stokes vector transfer equation and is practically as fast as the field-free one. This polarization-free approximation provides a fairly good account of the effects of homogeneous and inhomogeneous magnetic fields on the statistical equilibrium and is very easy to implement in any existing non-magnetic, multi-level transfer code.On leave from the Dipartimento di Astronomia e Scienza dello Spazio, Università di Firenze, Largo E.

Two radio maps of the Sun at = 1.95 cm, taken at the N.R.A.O. (Green Bank) with a resolving power of 2.1 are studied and compared with H pictures: both bright and dark features appear to be strongly correlated. The emitted flux and the angular extent of the bright regions are given; from the observed radio-darkening of a region, the height of a prominence is derived.On leave from Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, Firenze. 相似文献

The problem of production of flare hard X-rays by bremsstrahlung from hot thermal escaping electrons (Skrynnikov and Somov, 1982) in a chromospheric plasma is studied.The Landau kinetic equation is solved near the thermal source of energized electrons in a homogeneous magnetic tube to compute the anisotropic inhomogeneous distribution of the thermal escaping electrons.The intensity and polarization of hard X-rays is also computed and a comparison of theoretical results with observational data is made.On leave from: Istituto di Astronomia, Largo E, Fermi 5, I-50125 Firenze, Italy. 相似文献

We have analyzed X-ray images of the solar corona obtained by the S-054 telescope on Skylab, together with H filtergrams from the Catania Astrophysical Observatory and EUV and magnetic data, to study the morphology and the evolution of the coronal structures associated with prominences (coronal cavities).X-ray cavities are associated with prominences and are enclosed by series of loops of hot plasma typically higher than 5 × 109 cm. Helmet streamers can be observed only at very large heights (> 1 solar radius). The cavities show a higher luminosity when prominences have temporarily disappeared. The density in one of these X-ray cavities ( 3 × 108cm–3) is insufficient to allow formation of dense ( 1011 cm–3) prominences by local condensation from the corona.Prominences associated with young (up to three solar rotations) and old (greater than eight) magnetic neutral lines are significantly less stable than those associated with middle-aged neutral lines. Downward bending of the top of the inner magnetic loop, necessary in some models of prominences, is not detected in these X-ray observations. The relevance of these results to models of prominence formation is discussed.Presently at Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, Firenze, Italy. 相似文献

The importance in the blanketing effect of the wings of strong lines broadened by collisions is evaluated. It is found that in stars of spectral types F5-K5 the cumulative absorption by a group of lines is due half to the center of the lines and half to the wings.For the same stars it is evaluated the influence of the collisional broadening on the computed color indices (U-B), (B-V).
Sommario Viene valutata l'importanza nell'effetto blanketing delle ali delle righe forti allargate per collisioni. Si trova che per stelle dei tipi spettrali F5-K5 l'assorbimento complessivo di un gruppo di righe è all'incirca dovuto per metà all'assorbimento al centro delle righe e per metà alle ali.Per le stesse stelle viene anche data una stima dell'influenza dell'allargamento collisionale sugli indici di colore calcolati.相似文献

Forty-two galactic globular clusters are classified according to the five observational parameters:S and (B-V)o, g, used by Hartwick,P
ab, the mean period of theab-type RR Lyrae variables,n
c/n
ab, the relative number of thec-type to theab-type RR Lyrae variables and the red-dening-free parameterQ=(U-B)–0.72(B-V).Seven groups are isolated; a consistency between the Hartwick classification and a subdivision based on the RR Lyrae properties is shown.Globular clusters are confirmed to form a two parametric family of objects, what means that probably only another parameter in addition to the metal abundance must vary from a cluster to another.Evolutionary considerations in relation to the HB characteristics are given in detail. Implications concerning the initial galactic structure and the belium problem are briefly discussed.
Sommario 42 ammassi globulari galattici sono stati classificati sulla base di cinque parametri osservativi: (B-V)o, g edS, usati da Hartwick,P ab (periodo medio delle variabili RR Lyrae di tipoab),n c/n ab (rapporto tra i numeri delle variabili di tipoc e di tipoab) eQ=(U-B)–0.72 (B-V).Sono state così selezionate sette classi e si è ottenuta una concordanza tra la classificazione basata sulle proprietà delle variabili RR Lyrae e quella di Hartwick. Resta in particolare confermato che gli ammassi globulari formano una famiglia di oggetti dipendente da due parametri, ciò che implica come probabilmente un solo ulteriore parametro in aggiunta all'abbondanza metallica vari da ammasso ad ammasso.Sono esaminate in dettaglio le caratteristiche evolutive di modelli stellari in relazione con le osservazioni di stelle di ramo orizzontale.Vengono infine discusse le implicazioni relative alla iniziale struttura galattica ed al problema dell'elio.相似文献

Based on long-slit infrared spectroscopic observations, it has been suggested that half of the carbon monoxide present in the atmosphere of Comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) close to perihelion was released by a distributed source in the coma, whose nature (dust or gas) remains unidentified. We re-assess the origin of CO in Hale-Bopp’s coma from millimeter interferometric data and a re-analysis of the IR lines.Simultaneous observations of the CO J(1–0) (115 GHz) and J(2–1) (230 GHz) lines were undertaken with the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer in single-dish and interferometric modes. The diversity of angular resolutions (from 1700 to 42,000 km diameter at the comet) is suitable to study the radial distribution of CO and detect the extended source observed in the infrared. We used excitation and radiative transfer models to simulate the single-dish and interferometric data. Various CO density distributions were considered, including 3D time-dependent hydrodynamical simulations which reproduce temporal variations caused by the presence of a CO rotating jet. The CO J(1–0) and J(2–1) observations can be consistently explained by a nuclear production of CO. Composite 50:50 nuclear/extended productions with characteristic scale lengths of CO parent Lp > 1500 km are rejected.Based on similar radiation transfer calculations, we show that the CO v = 1–0 ro-vibrational lines observed in Comet Hale-Bopp at heliocentric distances less than 1.5 AU are severely optically thick. The broad extent of the CO brightness distribution in the infrared is mainly due to optical depth effects entering in the emitted radiation. Additional factors can be found in the complex structure of the CO coma, and non-ideal slit positioning caused by the anisotropy of dust IR emission.We conclude that both CO millimeter and infrared lines do not provide compelling evidence for a distributed source of CO in Hale-Bopp’s atmosphere. 相似文献

The broadening and shift parameters for a number of Fei lines perturbed by atomic hydrogen are computed using the interatomic potential due to Hindmarsh et al. (1967, 1970). It is also shown that the rms radius and the effective radius of the radiating atom, which determine the force constants in the interatomic potential, can be simply related each other, depending on the orbital quantum number of the atomic level.Currently NAS/NRC Research Associate, on leave from the Università di Napoli.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy Inc., under contract with the National Science Foundation.

The relationship between Doppler shift patterns observed in the transition region and magnetic field patterns observed in the photosphere is studied using coaligned pairs of Civ Dopplergrams and Fei magnetograms. Categories of magnetic features are defined - including neutral lines, unipolar regions, strong field regions, weak field regions, and magnetic boundaries - and from these, magnetic associations are determined for 159 V
0 lines separating areas of relative blueshift and redshift observed in and around active regions. The cases are subdivided on the basis of whether blueshifts or redshifts are observed on the side of the V
0 line nearest the solar limb.Two main results are that V
0 lines associated with neutral lines tend to have limbward blueshifts, while V
0 lines associated with unipolar regions tend to have limbward redshifts. These and other results provide supportive evidence for the active region model proposed recently by Klimchuk, in which relative redshifts occur where strong vertical fields penetrate the surface, and relative blueshifts occur where these same fields have spread out to become horizontal. It is likely that the relative blueshifts correspond to absolute Doppler shifts of very small amplitude, possibly even absolute redshifts.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. 相似文献

A green line intensity variation is associated with the interplanetary and photospheric magnetic sector structure. This effect depends on the solar cycle and occurs with the same amplitude in the latitude range 60° N–60° S. Extended longitudinal coronal structures are suggested, which indicate the existence of closed magnetic field lines over the neutral line, separating adjacent regions of opposite polarities on the photospheric surface.Supported by an ESRO/NASA fellowhip.On leave from Torino University, Italy; now at Istituto di Fisica, Universita di Torino, Italy. 相似文献

The resonances that appear in the linear compressible MHD formulation of waves are studied for equilibrium states with flow. The conservation laws and the jump conditions across the resonance point are determined for 1D cylindrical plasmas. For equilibrium states with straight magnetic field lines and flow along the field lines the conserved quantity is the Eulerian perturbation of total pressure. Curvature of the magnetic field lines and/or velocity field lines leads to more complicated conservation laws. Rewritten in terms of the displacement components in the magnetic surfaces parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, the conservation laws simply state that the waves are dominated by the parallel motions for the modified slow resonance and by the perpendicular motions for the modified Alfvén resonance.The conservation laws and the jump conditions are then used for studying surface waves in cylindrical plasmas. These waves are characterized by resonances and have complex eigenfrequencies when the classic true discontinuity is replaced by a nonuniform layer. A thin non-uniform layer is considered here in an attempt to obtain analytical results. An important result related to earlier work by Hollweg et al. (1990) for incompressible planar plasmas is found for equilibrium states with straight magnetic field lines and straight velocity field lines. For these equilibrium states the incompressible and compressible surface waves have the same frequencies at least in the long wavelength limit and there is an exact correspondence with the planar case. As a consequence, the conclusions formulated by Hollweg et al. still hold for the straight cylindrical case. The effects of curvature are subsequently considered. 相似文献

We present the results of a spectral and morphological study of 13 UV-excess galaxies in whose spectra only absorption lines are observed. We determine the equivalent widths and FWHM of the lines. We conclude that these objects are in an evolutionary stage between UV-excess galaxies with emission lines and normal galaxies.Translated fromAstrofizika, Vol. 38, No. 2, 1995. 相似文献

We have calculated the expected equivalent widths of the individual rotational lines of the Lyman band of H2 and (A-X) band of CO and SiO for Main Sequence stars. The results indicate that the lines of H2 should be observable in absorption up toT
e9000 K. The lines of CO are found to be much weaker than those of H2 lines. A discussion of these results is presented. 相似文献
