Previous global models of coronal magnetic fields have used a geometrical construction based on a spherical source surface because of requirements for computational speed. As a result they have had difficulty accounting for (a) the tendency of full magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models to predict non-radial plasma flow out to r 10r
and (b) the appreciable magnitude, 3, of B
r
, (the radial component of B) consistently observed at r 1 AU. We present a new modelling technique based on a non-spherical source surface, which is taken to be an isogauss of the underlying potential field generated by currents in or below the photosphere. This modification of the source surface significantly improves the agreement between the geometrical construction and the MHD solution while retaining most of the computational ease provided by a spherical source surface. A detailed comparison between the present source-surface model and the MHD solution is made for the internal dipole case. The resulting B field agrees well in magnitude and direction with the coronal B field derived from the full MHD equations. It shows evidence of the slightly equatorward meridional plasma flow that is characteristic of the MHD solution. Moreover, the B field obtained by using our non-spherical source surface agrees well with that observed by spacecraft in the vicinity of the Earth's orbit. Applied to a solar dipole field with a moment of 1 G-r

, the present model predicts that B
r
at r 1 AU lies in the range of 1–2 and is remarkably insensitive to heliomagnetic latitude. Our method should be applicable also to more general (i.e., more realistic) configurations of the solar magnetic field. Isogauss surfaces for two representative solar rotations, as calculated from expansions of observed photospheric magnetic-field data, are found to show large and significant deviations from sphericity. 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: (

0 0.69 Mm-1 for non-network fields, the latter of which corresponds to the size of mesogranulation;

High resolution pictures (about 0.3) of photospheric faculae near the solar limb have been obtained with the Pic du Midi 50 cm refractor; their granular structure then clearly appears. The microphotometric study of these facular granules shows that the ratio of their intensity to the photospheric intensity, I
f/I
ph (cos) reaches a maximum near cos = 0.3 and then decreases towards the limb. The values of this ratio have been corrected with a most likely spread function. Then a temperature model of a facular granule is obtained: with respect to the neighbouring photosphere, this granule appears as a photospheric hot cloud which does not extend high in the solar atmosphere (thickness 100 km above 5000 = 1). The temperature excess is 750K at maximum. This hot region is located over a layer which is cooler than the normal photosphere at the same level. Another hot region might extend above the photospheric hot cloud, possibly up to the chromosphere. This photospheric facula model which is confined to the lower photosphere seems to indicate that this phenomenon is different from the photospheric network which is visible up to the lower chromosphere. 相似文献

Systems of arch-shaped filaments (AFS) occurring in the interspot region of young bipolar groups are studied. Their main characteristics are: Average length: 30000km, average width 20000km, width of individual filaments 1000–3000 km, height of arches 4–15000 km. A typical lifetime of the filaments 30 min; appreciable changes of the system occur within several hours; the lifetime of a system is about three days. - The arch-filament systems bridge the neutral line and connect the regions of the innermost spots of opposite polarity. Material moves along the filaments (v 25–50 km/sec) following the direction of the magnetic field, and sometimes arches are observed rising at a rate of 20 km/sec. They are very dark on the inner disk and appear either in emission or in absorption close to the solar limb. - The occurrence of bright points (moustaches) is found to be closely associated with AFS in young spotgroups. - The possible nature of AFS and their relation to other types of filamentary structures is discussed. 相似文献

On November 27, 1974, a map of the Moon was obtained at 6 cm wavelength with the 100-m-telescope in Effelsberg. The high angular and favourable temperature resolution allowed an interpretation of the observed brightness distribution. The dominant feature of the brightness distribution is the centre-to-limb variation, particularly noticeable in the direction of the poles. The exponent of the commonly adopted cos
()-law, describing the temperature variation across the lunar disk, is determined as 0.4. The North-South variation of the lunar surface temperature is estimated to be 30%; the depth of penetration (L

A model of interplanetary and coronal magnetic fields 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
A model of the large-scale magnetic field structure above the photosphere uses a Green's function solution to Maxwell's equations. Sources for the magnetic field are related to the observed photospheric field and to the field computed at a source surface about 0.6 R
above the photosphere. The large-scale interplanetary magnetic field sector pattern is related to the field pattern at this source surface. The model generates magnetic field patterns on the source surface that compare well with interplanetary observations. Comparisons are shown with observations of the interplanetary magnetic field obtained by the IMP-3 satellite. 相似文献

A series of H chromospheric magnetograms was obtained at various wavelengths near the line center with the vector video magnetograph at Huairou Solar Observing Station as a diagnostic of chromospheric magnetic structures. The two-dimensional distribution of the circular polarization light of the H line with its blended lines at various wavelength in active regions was obtained, which consists of the analyses of Stokes' profileV of this line. Due to the disturbance of the photospheric blended line Fei 4860.98 for the measurement of the chromospheric magnetic field, a reversal in the chromospheric magnetograms relative to the photospheric ones occurs in the sunspot umbrae. But in the quiet, plage regions, even penumbrae, the influence of the photospheric blended Fei 4860.98 line is not obvious. As regards the observation of the H chromospheric magnetograms, we can select the working wavelength between -0.20 and -0.24 from the line core of H to avoid the wavelengths of the photospheric blended lines in the wing of H.After the spectral analysis of chromospheric magnetograms, we conclude that the distribution of the chromospheric magnetic field is similar to the photospheric field, especially in the umbrae of the sunspots. The chromospheric magnetic field is the result of the extension of the photospheric field. 相似文献

We study the influence of gravitational stratification of the solar atmosphere on the stability of coronal magnetic structures. In particular we question whether the (presumably stabilizing) influence of the anchoring of the magnetic field lines in the solar photosphere (line-tying) can be adequately modelled by either rigid wall or flow-through boundary conditions on the coronal perturbations, as is commonly done. Using the ideal MHD model without gravitational effects,inertial line-tying alone cannot lead to afull stabilization, as marginal stability cannot be crossed by including only the rapid density increase at the photospheric interface.We demonstrate, using the (localized) ballooning ordering, that when gravity and the corresponding intrinsically stable stratification of the photosphere is included, the points of marginal stability are no longer independent of the density. The sharp increase in density and associated decrease in pressure scale height at the solar surface leads to a stabilizing effect, which may result in a full transition from unstable to stable modes. Gravitational effects imply that rigid wall conditions represent photospheric field line anchoring better than flow-through conditions for determining the stability or modes of oscillation of a coronal equilibrium. Applying rigid wall conditions gives good approximations for frequencies that are much larger than photospheric time scales when the plasma is stable, and growth rates when the plasma is unstable. At the same time we show however that near marginal stability, even when gravity is included, rigid wall conditions are still violated. 相似文献

The 1968–2000 data on the mean magnetic field (MMF, longitudinal component) of the Sun are analysed to study long-time trends of the Sun's magnetic field and to check MMF calibration. It is found that, within the error limits, the mean intensity of photospheric magnetic field (the MMF strength, |H|), did not change over the last 33 years. It clearly shows, however, the presence of an 11-year periodicity caused by the solar activity cycle. Time variations of |H| correlate well with those of the radial component, |B
r|, of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). This correlation (r=0.69) appears to be significantly higher than that between |B
r| and the results of a potential source-surface extrapolation, to the Earth's orbit, of synoptic magnetic charts of the photosphere (using the so-called `saturation' factor –1 for magnetograph measurements performed in the line Fei 525.0 nm; Wang and Sheeley, 1995). It seems therefore that the true source surface of IMF is the `quiet' photosphere – background fields and coronal holes, like those for MMF. The average `effective' magnetic strength of the photospheric field is determined to be about 1.9 G. It is also shown that there is an approximate linear relation between |B
r| and MMF intensity |H| (in gauss)|B
r|(H
0)min×(1+C|H|)where =1.5×10–5 normalizes the photospheric field strength to 1 AU distance from the Sun, (H
0)min=1.2 G is some minimal `effective' intensity of photospheric background fields and C=1.3 G–1 an empirical constant. It is noted that good correlation between time variations of |H| and |B
r| makes suspicious a correction of the photospheric magnetic fields with the use of saturation factor –1. 相似文献

Using a photospheric magnetogram of the solar activity complex HR 16862, 16863, 16864 at the end of May 1980 as boundary data a sequence of three-dimensional force-free magnetic fields with spatially constant ( defined by the equation × B = B) is calculated, including numerical field-line tracing. The field is assumed not to be frozen-in and ¦¦, which is a measure of the magnetic free energy, is assumed to increase with time due to some dynamo mechanism. Variation of , starting from = 0, produces a catastrophe-like change of the topology of a field-line system corresponding to an arch filament system connecting the leading spot of HR 16863 with the trailing spot of HR 16862. This topological change is interpreted as causing a series of large homologous flares with synchronous flaring in the two spots. The catastrophe-like behaviour of the field topology is attributed to the nonlinear field-line equations. 相似文献

Simultaneous observations of chromospheric (H) and photospheric (Fei 5324.19 Å) magnetograms in quiet solar regions enable us to study the spatial configuration of the magnetic field in the solar atmosphere. With the typical spatial resolution of the Huairou magnetograph, the photospheric and chromospheric magnetic structures of the quiet Sun maintain a very similar pattern. Moreover, the vertical magnetic flux is almost the same from the photosphere to the chromosphere. As an intermediate step, we analyze the formation of the working lines used by the Huairou video magnetograph of the Beijing Astronomical Observatory. The Stokes V contribution function of H and Fei 5324.19 Å are calculated. It is found that our H magnetograms provide the distribution of the chromospheric magnetic field at a height some 1000–1500 km above the photosphere. 相似文献

The usefulness of magnetically sensitive iron lines Fe 5250.2, 6173.3 and 6302.3 for solar polarimetry is investigated. The line-to-continuum absorption coefficient
0 for Fe 5250.2 depends strongly on temperature variations. Thus a photospheric calibration of polarimeter signals cannot be used for the different parts of an active region. This is also true for the Doppler calibration of longitudinal magnetographs.Fe 6302.5 is shown to be useful for polarimetry in active regions. A Milne-Eddington approximation is possible so that Unno's formulae are sufficient for the interpretation of polarimetric data.The ambiguity of the azimuth of the linear polarization prevents the determination of the true field structure with respect to the solar surface. The magnetic flux cannot be determined outside the disc centre without making assumptions for the unknown field structure. This determination is possible only for single stable sunspots; for irregular active regions the field configuration remains ambiguous even at the disc centre. 相似文献

The Mees CCD (MCCD) instrument is an imaging spectroscopy device which uses the 25 cm coronagraph telescope and the 3.0 m Coudé spectrograph at Mees Solar Observatory (MSO) on Haleakala, Maui. The instrument works with resolving power up to R 200 000 with significant throughput from 3934 Å (Caii K) to 10 000 Å. A fast guiding active mirror stabilizes the image during observations. A rapidly writing magnetic tape storage system allows observations to be recorded at 256 kbytes s–1. Currently, the MCCD is used for imaging spectroscopy of solar flares at 6563 Å (H), and velocity measurements of umbral oscillations; future plans include emission line studies of active region coronae, and photospheric studies of solar oscillations. 相似文献

Semi-empirical models of solar faculae, cospatial with strong photospheric magnetic fields, have been constructed from continuum observations. The center-to-limb contrast of the various models was computed taking into account their geometrical shape. The adopted model whose horizontal size was taken to be 750 km, indicates that, in field regions, the temperature begins to rise outwards at z -125 km (above 5000 = 1) and that the extrapolated temperature at z -400 km is about 1500 K above that of the undisturbed atmosphere; the electron density is higher by a factor of about 30. 相似文献

Using the AT1 CCD camera at the Echelle spectrograph of the GCT at Tenerife, solar Doppler rotation measurements in the photospheric lines Fe I 6301.5 Å and 6302.5 Å and in the chromospheric line Na-D2 5890.0 Å have been made. The line shifts measured at different heliographic latitudes around the limb were corrected for observer motion and converted into sidereal rotation rates. At the equator the observed chromospheric rotation rate is about 8 % larger than the photospheric rate, and the average observed Doppler rotation rate is not very much different from the mean rotation rates deduced from all published tracer works and all published Doppler works. Near the poles (where tracer methods rely on extrapolation) both the chromospheric and the photospheric rotation rate are slightly smaller than the all Doppler rate and are considerably smaller than the extrapolated all tracer rate. If all previous measurements of solar rotation are taken into account, a surface rotation law with lower error bounds than previously possible can be derived. 相似文献

In this paper, a nontrivial velocity tensor is suitably defined to represent in the common frame the so-called classes of dynamical and kinematical near homoaxial rotations of a deformable finite material continuum. These classes have simple and interesting physical interpretation, especially for treating of nonuniform rotation and its applications to astrophysics. Some important subclasses and derived classes (in the sense of related superclasses) are also discussed.Two coordinate systems are further introduced, one of which rotates uniformly while the other rotates nonuniformly, the latter defined by means of a generalized orthogonal coordinate transformation. Suitable conditions are then given, asserting that the above systems are preferred in the sense of preserving the motion of the continuum in its inertial class.Finally, the required concepts of homotropy and distributivity are defined and the method, by which the established mathematical framework will be subsequently used in applications, is discussed. 相似文献

In this paper, we analyze the relations between photospheric vector magnetic fields, chromospheric longitudinal magnetic fields and velocity fields in a solar active region. Agreements between the photospheric and chromospheric magnetograms can be found in large-scale structures or in the stronger magnetic structures, but differences also can be found in the fine structures or in other places, which reflect the variation of the magnetic force lines from the photosphere to the chromosphere. The chromospheric superpenumbral magnetic field, measured by the Hline, presents a spoke-like structure. It consists of thick magnetic fibrils which are different from photospheric penumbral magnetic fibrils. The outer superpenumbral magnetic field is almost horizontal. The direction of the chromospheric magnetic fibrils is generally parallel to the transverse components of the photospheric vector magnetic fields. The chromospheric material flow is coupled with the magnetic field structure. The structures of the H chromospheric magnetic fibrils in the network are similar to H dark fibrils, and the feet of the magnetic fibrils are located at the photospheric magnetic elements. 相似文献
