Robust Scalings in Compressible Flux Pile-Up Reconnection     

Litvinenko  Yuri E.  Craig  I.J.D. 《Solar physics》2003,218(1-2):173-181

Flux pile-up magnetic reconnection is traditionally considered only for incompressible plasmas. The question addressed in this paper is whether the pile-up scalings with resistivity are robust when plasma compressibility is taken into account. A simple analytical argument makes it possible to understand why the transition from a highly compressible limit to the incompressible one is difficult to discern in typical simulations spanning a few decades in resistivity. From a practical standpoint, however, flux pile-up reconnection in a compressible plasma can lead to anomalous electric resistivity in the current sheet and flare-like energy release of magnetic energy in the solar corona.  相似文献   

Periodicities of the de la rue Sunspot Area Measurements     

Vaquero  J.M.  Gallego  M.C.  Sánchez-bajo  F. 《Solar physics》2003,218(1-2):307-317

In the 19th century De la Rue, Stewart, and Loewy carried out a compilation of drawings and photographs of the solar sunspots corresponding to the interval 1832–1868. Using these drawings and photographs, they determined fortnightly values of the percentage of the solar photosphere covered by the sunspots. In this work, we have performed a spectral analysis of these data in order to determine possible periodic signals. In addition to the 11-year solar cycle, short cycles of about 330 days and 30–50 days have been recovered, lacking the 150–160 days period discovered by other authors using several solar activity indicators.  相似文献

Polar Ring Currents on the sun During a Polar Magnetic Field Reversal     

Makarov  V.I.  Filippov  B.P. 《Solar physics》2003,214(1):55-63

We have studied the variations of the height of polar crown prominences according to daily observations of the Sun at the Kodaikanal Observatory (India) during 1905–1975. Polar ring filaments at latitudes 60°–80° are related to the polar magnetic field reversal. A double decrease of the height of polar ring filaments was found in the course of their migration from 40°to the poles. We estimated the limiting height of the equilibrium of polar ring filaments from the stability condition of a strong electric current. We found that the transition from large-scale to small-scale ring filaments reduces the critical height of the stability for the prominences. A model of an inverse-polarity filament was used.  相似文献   

Light curve and O−C diagram analysis of RZ Cassiopeiae     

T. Hegedüs  K. Szatmáry  J. Vinkó 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1992,187(1):57-74

The aim of the present paper is to analyze the light variation as well as the period changes of the eclipsing binary RZ Cas. New photometric elements are computed using the frequency-domain method. The possibility of the light-time effect and the apsidal motion is discussed.  相似文献   

Results from several persistent train spectra intercompared     

J. Rajchl  J. Bočcek  D. Očenáš  J. Škvarka  P. Zimnikoval  H. Murayama  K. Ohtsuka 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1995,68(1-3):479-486

Some results following from two contemporary photographical programs (Slovakia and Japan) for persistent meteor train spectra are compared. It shows that even though both programs are not too different according to their lenses and films used, the spectral interval detected is very different. In this respect prism as a dispersion element is more favourable than the grating with blaze wavelength near 610 nm. However, some results previously assumed as typicai for presented persistent trains-e.g. the forbidden Herzberg O₂ emission, the NO₂ continuum and OH red emissions-seem to be substanciated especially due to higher and linear dispersion of those grating spectra.  相似文献   

Variable interstellar absorption lines: a brief review     

I.A. Crawford 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2003,285(3-4):661-675

I review the recent discoveries of variable interstellar absorption lines, widely taken to imply the existence of very small scale(10–100 AU) structure in the interstellar medium. Possible origins of this structure are discussed, and attention is drawn to the fact that most known examples seem to be associated with interstellar shells and bubbles of various kinds. On the other hand, in at least one case (κ Velorum),the variation appears to occur in the supposedly quiescent cold neutral medium, consistent with earlier studies of small scale structure in atomic hydrogen probed at radio wavelengths. Further work is urgently required to determine the prevalence, mode of formation, and the physical and chemical state of these enigmatic structures. Only then will their implications for our wider understanding of the interstellar medium become apparent. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献   

Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope observations of an M2.8 flare: Insights into the initiation of a flare–coronal mass ejection event     

Subramanian  Prasad  Ananthakrishnan  S.  Janardhan  P.  Kundu  M.R.  White  S.M.  Garaimov  V.I. 《Solar physics》2003,218(1-2):247-259

We present the first observations of a solar flare with the GMRT. An M2.8 flare observed at 1060 MHz with the GMRT on 17 November 2001 was associated with a prominence eruption observed at 17 GHz by the Nobeyama radioheliograph and the initiation of a fast partial halo CME observed with the LASCO C2 coronagraph. Towards the start of the eruption, we find evidence for reconnection above the prominence. Subsequently, we find evidence for rapid growth of a vertical current sheet below the erupting arcade, which is accompanied by the flare and prominence eruption.  相似文献   

North-South asymmetry of the daily interplanetary magnetic field spiral during the period: 1965–1990     

I. Sabbah 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1995,70(1-3):173-178

We have extended our earlier study of the dependance of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) spiral on the magnetic polarity to cover the 26-year period 1965–1990. Our analysis reveals that: 1. The spiral angle north of the current sheet is higher than south of it. 2. During both of negative solar polarity epochs the IMF spiral is stable; it shows more variation during positive polarity epoch. 3. The included angle is lower than 180° during negative polarity epochs and higher than 180° during positive polarity epoch. 4. The Earth spent more time north of the current sheet during our period of analysis.  相似文献
