Direct measurements of plasma motions in the photosphere are limited to the line-of-sight component of the velocity. Several algorithms have therefore been developed to reconstruct the transverse components from observed continuum images or magnetograms. We compare the space and time averages of horizontal velocity fields in the photosphere inferred from pairs of consecutive intensitygrams by the LCT, FLCT, and CST methods and the DeepVel neural network in order to identify the method that is best suited for generating synthetic observations to be used for data assimilation. The Stein and Nordlund (Astrophys. J. Lett.753, L13, 2012) magnetoconvection simulation is used to generate synthetic SDO/HMI intensitygrams and reference flows to train DeepVel. Inferred velocity fields show that DeepVel performs best at subgranular and granular scales and is second only to FLCT at mesogranular and supergranular scales. 相似文献

The presence of flux tubes, visible as Network Bright Points (NBP) at the surface of the Sun outside active regions, disturbs the granular pattern in a similar way as it can be observed in laboratory convection experiments. Around an NBP, granules are smaller, more numerous than around a normal intergranular space without NBP; they are elongated and pointing towards it. Such a perturbation is visible several minutes before the appearance of the NBP, indicating that the magnetic flux, although not yet visible as a bright point, is already interacting with the convection pattern. The perturbation reaches its maximum within one minute after the NBP appearance; and the granular pattern returns to normal just after the NBP disappearance. 相似文献

Numerical data processing is applied to the high-resolution images-of the solar corona obtained with the 20 cm coronagraph of the Pic du Midi observatory. Two complementary methods are proposed to solve some classical difficulties usually met in the morphological analysis of the solar corona, namely the brightness gradient in the inner and medium corona, the low contrast of numerous emissive regions and the superimposition along the line of sight of different structures. The methods which are described in this paper may help to resolve the complex coronal active regions into fine structures which is now necessary to interpret all observed corona data. 相似文献

Post-flare loops were observed on June 26, 1992 in the H line with the Multichannel Subtractive Double-Pass spectrograph (MSDP) on Pic-du-Midi and with the Swedish telescope on La Palma. The highly dynamic loops are inhomogeneous (blobs). The cool loops were observed 10–12 hours after the X 3.9 class flare which had a maximum on June 25 at 2011 UT. From 2D images obtained with the MSDP on June 26 we derive H intensities and Doppler velocities of the loop plasma. Using a geometrical reconstruction technique we show that these loops are mainly perpendicular to the solar surface and have the shape of a dipole magnetic configuration. We derive the bulk-flow velocities along the loop as a function of height using the Doppler velocities and the results from the loop reconstruction. Where the Doppler velocities are too small, we derive the bulk-flow velocities from the displacements of the falling blobs. We discuss existing deviations from free-fall velocity in the lower parts of the loops. 相似文献

The Multichannel Subtractive Double Pass spectrograph (MSDP) is designed to observe line profiles in a 2D field of view with a good spatial and temporal resolution. In order to deal with this unique opportunity, we introduce a new method for fitting the hydrogen H line formed in prominences and deriving various plasma parameters from line profile observations. A quiescent prominence was observed on 5 June 1996, at the Pic du Midi during an international campaign between 09:30 UT and 11:00 UT with the MSDP spectrograph operating in H at the Turret Dome. Using the new fitting method, we show that the temperature, column density of hydrogen atoms and microturbulent velocity of the prominence are respectively about 8500 K, 1.4×1012 cm–2, and 10 to 20 km s–1. The electron density of the prominence is about 1.8×1010 cm–3. 相似文献

The spatial distribution of granule sizes at the surface of the sun is investigated. Granules have been separated into two classes: those larger than 1.37 and those smaller, where 1.37 is the critical scale defined by Roudier and Muller (1986). It is found that granules are not distributed at random: large granules appear to be clustered, forming a cellular pattern with a characteristic scale of 7; small granules form a similar and complementary pattern. These patterns are probably related to the mesogranulation. 相似文献

New measurements of the number density of the Network Bright Points confirm the variation of the density of the photospheric network at the centre of the disk during the solar cycle and that in the period 1983–1985, this number density (i.e. the magnetic flux in the quiet sun) was maximum, both at the poles and at the equator. 相似文献

We investigate the properties of acoustic events (AEs), defined as spatially concentrated and short duration energy flux,
in the quiet Sun, using observations of a 2D field of view (FOV) with high spatial and temporal resolution provided by the
Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) onboard Hinode. Line profiles of Fe i 557.6 nm were recorded by the Narrow-band Filter Imager (NFI) on a 82″×82″ FOV during 75 min with a time step of 28.75 s
and 0.08″ pixel size. Vertical velocities were computed at three atmospheric levels (80, 130, and 180 km) using the bisector
technique, allowing the determination of energy flux to be made in the range 3 – 10 mHz using two complementary methods (Hilbert
transform and Fourier power spectrum). Horizontal velocities were computed using local correlation tracking (LCT) of continuum
intensities providing divergences. We found that the net energy flux is upward. In the range 3 – 10 mHz, a full FOV space
and time averaged flux of 2700 W m−2 (lower layer 80 – 130 km) and 2000 W m−2 (upper layer 130 – 180 km) is concentrated in less than 1 % of the solar surface in the form of narrow (0.3″) AE. Their total
duration (including rise and decay) is of the order of 103 s. Inside each AE, the mean flux is 1.6×105 W m−2 (lower layer) and 1.2×105 W m−2 (upper). Each event carries an average energy (flux integrated over space and time) of 2.5×1019 J (lower layer) to 1.9×1019 J (upper). More than 106 events could exist permanently on the Sun, with a birth and decay rate of 3500 s−1. Most events occur in intergranular lanes, downward velocity regions, and areas of converging motions. 相似文献

High-resolution photographs of the photospheric network taken in the Caii K 3933 Å line and at 4308 Å are analysed in order to study the variation, in latitude and over the sunspot cycle, of its density (the density is defined as the number of network elements - also called facular points - per surface unity). It appears that the density of the photospheric network is not distributed uniformly at the surface of the Sun: on September 1983, during the declining phase of the current activity cycle, it was weakened at both the low (equatorial) and high (polar) active latitudes, while it was tremendously enhanced toward the pole. The density at the equator is varying in antiphase to the sunspot number: it increases by a factor 3 or more from maximum to minimum of activity. As a quantum of magnetic flux is associated to each network element, density variations of the photospheric network express in fact variations of the quiet Sun magnetic flux. It thus results that the quiet Sun magnetic flux is not uniformly distributed in latitude and not constant over the solar cycle: it probably varies in antiphase to the flux in active regions.The variation over the solar cycle and the latitude distribution of photospheric network density are compared to those of X-ray bright points and ephemeral active regions: there are no clear correlations between these three kinds of magnetic features. 相似文献

We compare horizontal velocities, vertical magnetic fields, and the evolution of trees of fragmenting granules (TFG, also named families of granules) derived in the quiet Sun at disk center from observations at solar minimum and maximum of the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT on board Hinode) and results of a recent 3D numerical simulation of the magneto-convection. We used 24-hour sequences of a 2D field of view (FOV) with high spatial and temporal resolution recorded by the SOT Broad band Filter Imager (BFI) and Narrow band Filter Imager (NFI). TFG were evidenced by segmentation and labeling of continuum intensities. Horizontal velocities were obtained from local correlation tracking (LCT) of proper motions of granules. Stokes V provided a proxy of the line-of-sight magnetic field (BLOS). The MHD simulation (performed independently) produced granulation intensities, velocity, and magnetic field vectors. We discovered that TFG also form in the simulation and show that it is able to reproduce the main properties of solar TFG: lifetime and size, associated horizontal motions, corks, and diffusive index are close to observations. The largest (but not numerous) families are related in both cases to the strongest flows and could play a major role in supergranule and magnetic network formation. We found that observations do not reveal any significant variation in TFG between solar minimum and maximum. 相似文献
