During 23–28 August 1988, at the Huairou Solar Observation Station of Beijing Observatory, the full development process of the region HR 88059 was observed. It emerged near the center of the solar disk and formed a medium active region. A complete series of vector magnetograms and photospheric and chromospheric Dopplergrams was obtained. From an analysis of these data, combined with some numerical simulations, the following conclusions can be drawn. (1) The emergence of new magnetic flux from enhanced networks followed by sunspot formation is an interesting physical process which can be simply described by MHD numerical simulation. The phenomena accompanying it occur according to a definite law summarized by Zwaan (1985). The condition for gas cooling and sunspot formation seems to be transverse field strength > 50 G together with longitudinal field strength > 700 G. For a period of 4 to 5 hours, the orientation of the transverse field shows little change. The configuration of field lines may be derived from vector magnetograms. The arch filament system can be recognized as an MHD shock. (2) New opposite bipolar features emerge within the former bipolar field with an identical strength which will develop a sunspot group complex. Also, arch filament systems appear there located in the position of flux emergence. The neutral line is often pushed aside and curved, leading to faculae heating and the formation of a current sheet. In spite of complicated Dopplergrams, the same phenomena occur at the site of flux emergence as usual: upward flow appears at the location of the emerging and rapidly varying flux near the magnetic neutral line, and downdraft occurs over large parts of the legs of the emerging flux tubes. The age of magnetic emerging flux (or a sunspot) can be estimated in terms of transverse field strengths: when 50 G < transverse field < 200 G, the longitudinal magnetogram and Dopplergram change rapidly, which indicates a rigourously emerging magnetic flux. When the transverse field is between 200 and 400 G, the area concerned is in middle age, and some of the new flux is still emerging there. When the transverse field > 400 G, the variation of the longitudinal magnetogram slows down and the emerging arch becomes relatively stable and a photospheric Evershed flow forms at the penumbra of the sunspot.  相似文献

Recently, the Converging Flux Model has been proposed for X-ray bright points and cancelling magnetic features. The aim of this peice of work is to try and model theoretically specific X-ray bright points in the framework of the Converging Flux Model. The observational data used includes a magnetogram showing the normal component of the magnetic field at the photosphere and a high-resolution soft X-ray image from NIXT showing the brightenings in the lower solar corona. By approximating the flux concentrations in the magnetograms with poles of the appropriate sign and sense, the overlying three-dimensional potential field structure is calculated. Deduction of plausible motions of the flux sources are made which produce brightenings of the observed shape due to reconnection between neighbouring flux regions. Also the three-dimensional separarix and separator structure and the way the magnetic field lines reconnect in three dimensions is deduced.  相似文献

Recent observations of Martin, Bilimoria, and Tracadas (1995) have revealed two new magnetic and structural classes for solar filaments and filament channels. The magnetic classes are called sinistral and dextral, while the structural classes are left-bearing and right-bearing. Dextral filaments dominate in the northern hemisphere and sinistral in the southern. A model consistent with the observations is developed with magnetic sources that represent the network flux on both sides of the channel and extra concentrations of flux that produce the strong field component along the channel. We suggest that it is the imbalance of flux locations along the channel that creates the field of a filament channel. The resulting separatrix surfaces have distinct upper and lower boundaries that may produce the upper boundary of the filament cavity or filament and the lower boundary of the filament. The model is applied to a specific filament channel, with discrete sources and sinks that represent the flux observed in a photospheric magnetogram. The resulting three-dimensional field lines near the filament location are low-lying and possess dips.  相似文献

The theoretical problem posed by the buoyant escape of a magnetic field from the interior of a stably stratified body bears directly on the question of the present existence of primordial magnetic fields in stars. This paper treats the onset of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of the upper boundary of a uniform horizontal magnetic field in a stably stratified atmosphere. The calculations are carried out in the Boussinesq approximation and show the rapid growth of the initial infinitesimal perturbation of the boundary. This result is in contrast to the extremely slow buoyant rise of a separate flux tube in the same atmosphere. Thus for instance, at a depth of 1/3R beneath the surface of the Sun, a field of 102 G develops ripples over a scale of 103 km in a characteristic time of 50 years, whereas the characteristic rise time of the same field in separate flux tubes with the same dimensions is 1010 years. Thus, the development of irregularities proceeds quickly, soon slowing, however, to a very slow pace when the amplitude of the irregularities becomes significant. Altogether the calculations show the complexity of the question of the existence of remnant primordial magnetic fields in stellar interiors.This work was supported in part by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Grant NGL 14-001-001  相似文献

We analyze the process of formation of delta configuration in some well-known super active regions based on photospheric vector magnetogram observations. It is found that the magnetic field in the initial developing stage of some delta active regions shows a potential-like configuration in the solar atmosphere, the magnetic shear develops mainly near the magnetic neutral line with magnetic islands of opposite polarities, and the large-scale photospheric twisted field forming gradually later. Some results are obtained: (1) The analysis of magnetic writhe of whole active regions cannot be limited in the strong field of sunspots, because the contribution of the fraction of decayed magnetic field is non-negligible. (2) The magnetic model of kink magnetic ropes, supposed to be generated in the subatmosphere, is not consistent with the evolution of large-scale twisted photospheric transverse magnetic field and not entirely consistent with the relationship with magnetic shear in some delta active regions.

This paper is concerned with the Laplace boundary-value problem with the directional derivative, corresponding to the specific nature of measurements of the longitudinal component of the photospheric magnetic field. The boundary conditions are specified by a distribution on the sphere of the projection of the magnetic field vector into a given direction, i.e., they exactly correspond to the data of daily magnetograms distributed across the full solar disk. It is shown that the solution of this problem exists in the form of a spherical harmonic expansion, and uniqueness of this solution is proved. A conceptual sketch of numerical determination of the harmonic series coefficients is given. The field of application of the method is analyzed with regard to the peculiarities of actual data. Results derived from calculating magnetic fields from real magnetograms are presented. Finally, we present differences in results derived from extrapolating the magnetic field from a synoptic map and a full-disk magnetogram.  相似文献

On the basis of experimental results from the Ulysses spacecraft, a model is proposed for calculating the magnetic field in the corona and the heliosphere in the potential approximation, which is a modification of the potential-field source-surface model. In addition to the photospheric surface and the source surface, a new demarcated spherical surface (leveling surface) is introduced in this model. The magnitude of the radial component of the magnetic field on this surface is assumed to be constant, and its sign abruptly changes from one hemisphere to another. General analytical formulas are given to calculate the potential and field for this model. Calculations are described in detail using the dipole and quadrupole harmonics as examples. Expressions are obtained for the surface currents. The results of visualization of the magnetic field for an axial dipole are discussed.  相似文献

We present digital pictures of an active region network cell in five quantities, measured simultaneously: continuum intensity, line-center intensity, equivalent width, magnetogram signal, and magnetic field strength. These maps are derived from computer analysis of circularly polarized line profiles of FeI 5250.2; spectral and spatial resolution are 1/40 Å and 1.5, respectively. Measured Zeeman splittings show the existence of strong magnetic fields (1000–1800 G) at nearly all points with a magnetogram signal exceeding 125 G. The mean and rms deviation of the field strengths change by less than 20% over a factor-of-four range of fluxes. From the significant disparity between measured fluxes and field strengths, we conclude that large flux patches (up to 4 across) consist of closely-packed unresolved filaments. The smallest filaments must be less than 0.7 in diameter. We also observe the dark component of the photospheric network, which appears to contain sizable transverse fields.  相似文献

Three-dimensional, quasi-static evolutions of coronal magnetic fields driven by photospheric flux emergence are modeled by a class of analytic force-free magnetic fields. Our models relate commonly observed photospheric magnetic phenomena, such as the formation and growth of sunspots, the emergence of an X-type separator, and the collision and merging of sunspots, to the three-dimensional magnetic fields in the corona above. By tracking the evolution in terms of a continuous sequence of force-free states, we show that flux emergence and submergence along magnetic neutral lines in the photosphere are essential processes in all these photospheric phenomena. The analytic solutions we present have a parametric regime within which the magnetic energy attained by an evolving force-free field may be of the order of 1030 ergs to several 1031 ergs, depending on the magnetic environment into which an emerging flux intrudes. The commonly used indicators of magnetic shear in magnetogram interpretation are discussed in terms of field connectivity in our models. It is demonstrated that the crossing angle of the photospheric transverse magnetic field with the neutral line may not be a reliable indicator of the magnetic shear in the coronal field above, due to the complexity of three-dimensionality. The poorly understood constraint of magnetic-helicity conservation on the availability of magnetic free energy for a flare is briefly discussed.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  相似文献

We propose a method for solving the Neumann boundary-value problem using the known magnetic-field component at the boundary in a specified direction (the oblique-derivative problem). The method allows the normal field component at the boundary to be directly determined from the measured line-of-sight component. This makes it possible to calculate the potential magnetic field in the corona above a region far removed from the solar-disk center. A model potential magnetic field is used as an example to test our method.  相似文献

We analyze the X-ray observations on 7–8 November of the last revival of a giant coronal arch first observed in the morning hours of 6 November, 1980. We compare these data with observations of earlier revivals of this arch, in order to determine whether the successive brightenings repeat without any apparent modification, or whether they show a varying behavior as they keep occurring. We also examine the magnetic structure of the revived arches in order to ascertain whether the subsequent phenomena involve the same magnetic configuration. The information about the magnetic structure of the last revival is the best we have, because the revival started close to the time of the Kitt Peak magnetogram which has been used for the magnetic modelling of the whole series of these giant arches.We conclude that while there seems to be some plasma depletion in the 7–8 November event, the real-time magnetic field modelling on this date seems to fit the observed footpoints better than the modelling on 6 November which had to use the same magnetogram for a situation occurring 24 to 36 hours earlier. The general topology does not show any significant change, apart perhaps in the field line inclination, but some flux tubes seem to have disappeared between 6 and 7 November. Nevertheless, both X-ray and H observations indicate that this magnetic structure basically kept its identity for more than 4 days.We also compare the two existing interpretations of the arch revivals: re-excitation of a permanent pre-existing structure (after Hick and vestka, 1987) and formation of each brightening through a separate reconnection (after Poletto and Kopp, 1988). Unfortunately, proximity to the limb does not allow one to decide between these two alternatives; it is suggested to look for other series of arch revivals utilizing our present knowledge about the behavior of the chromospheric footpoints of giant arches.  相似文献

Reversed-polarity structures of chromospheric magnetic fields are magnetic gulfs and islands of opposite polarity relative to the underlying photospheric fields. In this paper data measured with the Solar Magnetic Field Telescope of the Huairou Solar Observing Station in Beijing were analyzed. From more than 300 pairs of photospheric magnetograms (in FeI λ5324.19 Å) and relevant chromospheric magnetograms (Hβ λ4861.34 Å), the reality of the reversed-polarity structures is demonstrated. According to an analysis of the fine structure of the magnetic field in the two layers of active regions, we found that there are probably four different types as follows: Type A: magnetic islands of opposite polarity corresponding to photospheric fields appear in the chromospheric magnetogram. Type B: magnetic gulfs of opposite polarity corresponding to photospheric fields appear in the chromospheric magnetogram. Type C is the reverse of type B. That is, a magnetic gulf of opposite polarity corresponding to the chromospheric field appears in the photospheric magnetogram. Type D is the reverse of type A.  相似文献

A method for visualization of the solar magnetic field is suggested and implemented. The harmonic expansion coefficients obtained in the potential approximation from magnetic-field observations at the photospheric level are used as an input. Three-dimensional equations for field lines are numerically integrated, and the results are presented in the form of projections onto the picture plane. The density of the line number is assumed to be proportional to the magnetic flux density. The lines of different topological connectedness are differently colored and show areas with open and closed configurations, thus mapping the information about the field direction and magnitude. This method is useful for research and applied studies related to investigation and forecasting of space weather.  相似文献

A technique is proposed for constructing self-consistent 3-D solutions satisfying the magnetohydrostatic (MHS) equations, and fitting observations along the line of sight of the magnetic field at the photosphere. The technique is a generalization of a potential-field extrapolation method (Rudenko, 2001) using full-disk magnetogram data. The solution of the problem under consideration is based on representing the magnetic field in terms of a scalar function, with its subsequent harmonic expansion in terms of the functional basic set of spherical functions that satisfies the specified boundary conditions. It is expected that a numerical realization of the proposed method will make possible a real-time modeling of the three-dimensional magnetic field, temperature, pressure and density distributions.  相似文献

We present a method to include stereoscopic information about the three-dimensional structure of flux tubes into the reconstruction of the coronal magnetic field. Due to the low plasma beta in the corona we can assume a force-free magnetic field, with the current density parallel to the magnetic field lines. Here we use linear force-free fields for simplicity. The method uses the line-of-sight magnetic field on the photosphere as observational input. The value of is determined iteratively by comparing the reconstructed magnetic field with the observed structures. The final configuration is the optimal linear force-free solution constrained by both the photospheric magnetogram and the observed plasma structures. As an example we apply our method to SOHO MDI/EIT data of an active region. In the future it is planned to apply the method to analyse data from the SECCHI instrument aboard the STEREO mission.  相似文献

A method is presented for constructing the coronal magnetic field from photospheric magnetograms and observed coronal loops. A set of magnetic field lines generated from magnetogram data is parameterized and then deformed by varying the parameterized values. The coronal flux tubes associated with this field are adjusted until the correlation between the field lines and the observed coronal loops is maximized. A mathematical formulation is described which ensures that (i) the normal component of the photospheric field remains unchanged, (ii) the field is given in the entire corona over an active region, (iii) the field remains divergence-free, and (iv) electric currents are introduced into the field. It is demonstrated that a parameterization of a potential field, comprising a radial stretching of the field, can provide a match for a simple bipolar active region, AR 7999, which crossed the central meridian on 1996 November 26. The result is a non-force-free magnetic field with the Lorentz force being of the order of 10–5.5 g cm s–2 resulting from an electric current density of 0.079 A m–2. Calculations show that the plasma beta becomes larger than unity at a relatively low height of 0.25 r supporting the non-force-free conclusion. The presence of such strong non-radial currents requires large transverse pressure gradients to maintain a magnetostatic atmosphere, required by the relatively persistent nature of the coronal structures observed in AR 7999. This scheme is an important tool in generating a magnetic field solution consistent with the coronal flux tube observations and the observed photospheric magnetic field.  相似文献

Numerical reconstruction/extrapolation of the coronal nonlinear force-free magnetic field (NLFFF) usually takes the photospheric vector magnetogram as input at the bottom boundary. The magnetic field observed at the photosphere, however, contains a force that is in conflict with the fundamental assumption of the force-free model. It also contains measurement noise, which hinders the practical computation. Wiegelmann, Inhester, and Sakurai (Solar Phys. 233, 215, 2006) have proposed to preprocess the raw magnetogram to remove the force and noise to provide better input for NLFFF modeling. In this paper we develop a new code of magnetogram preprocessing that is consistent with our extrapolation method CESE–MHD–NLFFF (Jiang, Feng, and Xiang in Astrophys. J. 755, 62, 2012; Jiang and Feng in Astrophys. J. 749, 135, 2012a). Based on the magnetic-splitting rule that a magnetic field can be split into a potential-field part and a non-potential part, we split the magnetogram and dealt with the two parts separately. The preprocessing of the magnetogram’s potential part is based on a numerical potential-field model, and the non-potential part is preprocessed using the similar optimization method of Wiegelmann, Inhester, and Sakurai (2006). The code was applied to the SDO/HMI data, and results show that the method can remove the force and noise efficiently and improve the extrapolation quality.  相似文献
