A model is presented to explain the observed frequency distribution of flare energies, based on independent flaring at a number of distinct topological structures (separators) within active-region magnetic fields. The model is a modification and generalization of a recent model due to Craig (2001), and reconciles that model with the observed flare waiting-time distribution, and the observed absence of a flare waiting-time versus energy relationship. The basic assumptions of the model are that flares of energy E
2 occur at separators of length
, and that the frequency of flaring at a separator is defined by the Alfvén transit time of the structure. To reproduce the observed distribution of flare energies the model requires a probability distribution P(
)
–1 of separator lengths
within active regions. This prediction of the model is in principle testable. A theoretical origin for this distribution is also discussed. 相似文献

We report new properties of solar magnetic fields in a quiet region as found from their magnetic power spectra. The power spectra of network and intranetwork fields (non-network fields) are separately calculated from a Big Bear magnetogram obtained with moderately high spatial resolution of 1.5 arc sec and a high sensitivity reaching 2 Mx cm-2. The effect of seeing on the power spectrum has been corrected using Fried's (1966) Modulation Transfer Function with the seeing parameter determined in our previous analysis of the magnetogram. As a result, it is found that the two-dimensional power spectra of network and non-network fields appear in a form: (

1 3.0 Mm-1 for both, which is about the size of a large granule. The network field spectrum below

A theoretical model for3He enrichments in solar energetic particles is developed. First, current-driven, electrostatic instabilities that have frequencies
(
is the cyclotron frequency of3He) are investigated for a plasma consisting of H,4He,3He, and electrons with the density of3He much lower than those of H and4He. It is found that in many cases the oblique ion-acoustic waves can have positive growth rates at frequencies
and, at the same time, negative growth rates at
and at H. This can occur near the marginal state of the instability. The wave damping at these frequencies is caused by the cyclotron resonances of4He and H. The cyclotron damping at
is negligible, however, because the abundance of3He is very small. The H cyclotron waves can be unstable at

We have looked for periodicities in solar differential rotation on time scales shorter than the 11-year solar cycle through the power- spectrum analysis of the differential rotation parameters determined from Mt. Wilson velocity data (1969–1994) and Greenwich sunspot group data (1879–1976). We represent the differential rotation by a set of Gegenbauer polynomials (()=
+
(5sin2–1)+
(21sin4–14sin2+1)). For the Mt. Wilson data, we focus on observations obtained after 1981 due to the reduced instrumental noise and have binned the data into intervals of 19 days. We calculated annual averages for the sunspot data to reduce the uncertainty and corrected for outliers occuring during solar cycle minima. The power spectrum of the photospheric mean rotation
, determined from the velocity data during 1982–1994, shows peaks at the periods of 6.7–4.4 yr, 2.2 ± 0.4 yr, 1.2 ± 0.2 yr, and 243 ± 10 day with 99.9% confidence level, which are similar to periods found in other indicators of solar activity suggesting that they are of solar origin. However, this result has to be confirmed with other techniques and longer data sets. The 11-yr periodicity is insignificant or absent in
. The power spectra of the differential rotation parameters
and
, determined from the same subset, show only the solar cycle period with a 99.9% confidence level.The time series of
determined from the yearly sunspot group data obtained during 1879–1976 is very similar to the corresponding time series of
. After correcting for data with large error bars (occurring during cycle minima), we find periods, which are most likely harmonics of the solar cycle, such as 18.3 ± 3.0 yr and 7.5 ± 0.5 yr in
and confirmed these and the 3.0 ± 0.1 yr period in . The original time series show in addition some shorter periods, absent in the corrected data, representing temporal variations during cycle minimum. Given their large error bars, it is uncertain whether they represent a solar variation or not. The results presented here show considerable differences in the periodicities of
and
determined from the velocity data and the spot group data. These differences may be explained by assuming that the rotation rates determined from velocity and sunspot data represent the rotation rates of the Sun's surface layers and of somewhat deeper layers. 相似文献

Observations of the quiescent filament eruption and the spotless two-ribbon flare of 12 September 2000 are presented. A simple flare morphology, large spatial scales, and a suitable viewing angle provide insight into characteristics of the energy release process which is attributed to the reconnection process in the current sheet formed below the eruptive filament. The flare ribbons appeared and started to expand laterally while the filament was still recognizable, enabling simultaneous measurements of the ribbon separation w and the height of the lower edge of the filament, h. The ratio w/h estimated for the expanding portions of ribbons indicates that the width-to-length ratio of the current sheet at the onset of the fast reconnection ranges between
and
. The ribbon elements characterized by w/h>
remained stationary. The Nançay radioheliograph data in the decimeter–meter wavelengths show one group of radio bursts ahead of the filament (moving type IV burst) and another group behind the filament. The centroids of the radio sources behind the filament were confined to the region outlined by the lower edge of the filament and the magnetic inversion line, suggestive of emission from the current sheet. Sources were preferably located close to the lower edge of the filament and some appeared close to the magnetic inversion line. Two possible explanations are discussed: one in terms of the fast-mode bow shocks in the reconnection outflow jets, and another in terms of a multiple tearing of the current sheet and subsequent coalescence of plasmoids. 相似文献

and the
equivalent width (EW) is found, over the range 2–71 ? in

spiral galaxies with [CII] detections obtained by us with ISOLWS, plus nine late-Type= galaxies with higher star formation
rates (SFRs), for which [CII] data and, especially,
EW data are available in the literature. As a result we infer I

to be a reliable tracer of the current mass-normalized global SFR for non-starburst spiral galaxies. Moreover, the ratio
of the [CII] line to the total far-infrared (FIR) continuum intensity, I
/I
, is found to decrease from ∼0.5% to ∼0.1% with decreasing SFR which we propose is due to a `[CII]-quiet' component of I
from dust heated by the general interstellar radiation field (ISRF). The more `quiescent' galaxies in the sample have values
of I

different from those observed in `compact' Galactic interstellar regions. Their [CII]-emission is interpreted to be dominated
by diffuse regions of the interstellar medium (ISM). For normal `star-forming' galaxies the diffuse component of the [CII]
emission is estimated to account for at least 50% of the total.

Lutetium is one of the few nonvolatile elements whose solar photospheric abundance departs significantly from that derived from CI chondrites. We have applied the Cowan code to compute new oscillator strengths for Luii, and have included a correction for core polarization. The results have been used in a synthesis of the solar spectrum in the vicinity of features at
3397.062 and
6221.72. We find that the majority of the absorption in the ultraviolet feature is due to NH, making it unsuitable for extracting a reliable lutetium abundance. Our best fit to the low-noise Jungfraujoch spectrum for the weak, nine-component hyperfine Luii line at 6221.87 yields an abundance of +0.06 on a scale where log(H) = 12.00. This value is within 0.07 dex of the meteoritic result (+0.13). (These figures reflect the note added in proof below.) 相似文献

related integrable Hamiltonian systems are given.

A physically based explanation is given for the distribution of flare energies N(E)E
– where 1.5. In contrast to previous approaches, the present treatment is based on a physical theory of the flare reconnection site. The central assumption is that topological flare energy, although released explosively, is slowly accumulated over several hundred Alfvén timescales. When coupled to the geometric properties of the reconnective flare source, this assumption is shown to lead naturally to a deduction of the flare energy distribution. Current sheet models yield the exponent

Acceleration of iron ions by a spherical shock wave moving through non-homogeneous solar corona is considered. The energy dependence of the mean charge of iron,
Fe(E), is determined by the characteristic acceleration time, T
a, trapping time, T
tr, and time for charge changes, T
q. The latter varies along with plasma number density during the propagation of the shock wave in the corona. Our calculations have demonstrated that adiabatic energy changes, Coulomb losses and shock broadening do not sufficiently influence the dependence
Fe(E). According to our estimations, the photoionizing processes can scarcely affect the ionic states of accelerated iron, except probably for the most powerful X10 class events. 相似文献

In this paper, the dependence of the intensity of solar bremsstrahlung in the spectral range from 1–60 keV on heliographic longitude is investigated. Considering a flare mechanism, which assumes that the electrons move in a preferred direction in the course of their acceleration (according to the model of Takakura and Kai (1966) the electrons move parallel to the solar surface), we come to the conclusion that the maximum of the bremsstrahlung intensity is shifted with increasing electron velocity towards the direction of motion of electron beams. In the case of the Takakura and Kai flare mechanism, the slow electrons (
), i.e. with small energies of 1–10 keV, reach the maximum of the bremsstrahlung intensity round the CM; for higher velocities (
), i.e. for higher energies of 10–60 keV, the direction of the maximum is shifted away from the CM towards the disc limb. These theoretical conclusions were proved by experimental research conducted by means of satellites. 相似文献

If fluctuations in the density are neglected, the large-scale, axisymmetric azimuthal momentum equation for the solar convection zone (SCZ) contains only the velocity correlations
and
where u are the turbulent convective velocities and the brackets denote a large-scale average. The angular velocity, , and meridional motions are expanded in Legendre polynomials and in these expansions only the two leading terms are retained (for example,
where is the polar angle). Per hemisphere, the meridional circulation is, in consequence, the superposition of two flows, characterized by one, and two cells in latitude respectively. Two equations can be derived from the azimuthal momentum equation. The first one expresses the conservation of angular momentum and essentially determines the stream function of the one-cell flow in terms of
: the convective motions feed angular momentum to the inner regions of the SCZ and in the steady state a meridional flow must be present to remove this angular momentum. The second equation contains also the integral
indicative of a transport of angular momentum towards the equator.With the help of a formalism developed earlier we evaluate, for solid body rotation, the velocity correlations
and
for several values of an arbitrary parameter, D, left unspecified by the theory. The most striking result of these calculations is the increase of
with D. Next we calculate the turbulent viscosity coefficients defined by

= – 6 × 10 12 cm –1). The corresponding angular velocity increases slightly inwards at the poles and decreases at the equator in broad agreement with heliosismic observations. The computed meridional motions are far too large ( 150m s–1). Reasonable values for the meridional motions can only be obtained if
o (and in consequence ), increase sharply with depth below the surface. The calculated meridional motion at the surface consists of a weak equatorward flow for gq < 29° and of a stronger poleward flow for > 29°.In the Sun, the Taylor-Proudman balance (the Coriolis force is balanced by the pressure gradient), must be altered to include the buoyancy force. The consequences of this modification are far reaching: is not required, now, to be constant along cylinders. Instead, the latitudinal dependence of the superadiabatic gradient is determined by the rotation law. For the above rotation laws, the corresponding latitudinal variations of the convective flux are of the order of 7% in the lower SCZ. 相似文献

Closely spaced microphotometer tracings parallel to the dispersion of one excellent frame of a K-line time sequence have been utilized for a study of the nature of the K2v

intensities in the case of the solar chromosphere. The frequency of occurrence of the categories of intensity ratio
are as follows:
per cent;
per cent;
per cent;
per cent;
per cent. Two types of absorbing components are postulated to explain the pattern of observed K2v
, k2R
intensity ratios. One component with minor Doppler displacements acting on the normal K232 profile, where K2V
>K2R
, produces the cases K2v
K2R
, K2v
= K2R
, K2v
<K2R
. The other component arises from dark condensations which are of size 3500 kms as seen in K2R
. They have principally large down flowing velocities in the range 5–8 km/sec and are seen on K3 spectroheliograms with sizes of about 5000 kms, within the coarse network of emission. These dark condensations give rise to the situation K2R
= 0.K2-line widths are measured for all tracings where K2v
, K2R
are measurable simultaneously. The distribution curve of these widths is extremely sharp. The K2 emission source is identified with the bright fine mottles visible on the surface. Evidence for this interpretation comes from the study of auto-correlation functions of K2 intensity variations and the spacing between the bright fine mottles from both spectrograms and spectroheliograms. The life time of the fine mottling is 200 sec.The supergranular boundaries which constitute the coarse network come in two intensity classes. A low intensity network has the fine mottles as its principal contributor to the K emission. When the network is bright, the enhancement is caused by increased K emission due to the accumulation of magnetic fields at the supergranule boundary. The K2 widths of the low intensity supergranular boundary agree with the value found for the bright mottles. Those for the brighter network are lower than this value, similar to the K2 widths as seen in the active regions.It is concluded that bright fine mottling is responsible for the relation, found by Wilson and Bappu, between K emission line widths and absolute magnitudes of the stars.The paper discusses the solar cycle equivalents that stellar chromospheres can demonstrate and indicates a possible line of approach for successful detection of cyclic activity in stellar chromospheres. 相似文献

On the basis of a globular cluster study a crude estimate of the total mass of the galactic halo within 20 kpc from the centre is done. It gives a minimal halo mass of the order of
, yielding possibilities for a mass as large as
. The content of the interstellar matter in the halo is estimated too. It is found that the gas content is a few percents the minimal mass, the gas temperature is very high — about 1×106 K, the magnetic field weak — about 0.25 nT. A weak nonthermal radio emission might be expected from such a halo. 相似文献
