摘要:

描述了一种利用法拉第旋转测量日冕物质抛射(CME)磁场方向的方法。两个基本的FR轮廓,高斯形与一个单一的极性或“N”状与极性反转,产生的无线电源被一个移动的通量绳,取决于它的方向掩盖。这些曲线与太阳神的观测结果一致,为日冕物质抛射的磁绳几何提供了证据。许多背景射电源可以将FR中的CME映射到天空中。我们用一个简单的磁绳证明了磁绳到达地球前2-3天可以确定磁绳的磁场方向和螺旋度,这对空间天气预报是至关重要的。全球磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟的CME在背景日光层的基础上的FR计算表明,FR映射也可以解决CME的几何形状弯曲回太阳。我们讨论的方法使用的数据从Mileura宽场阵列(MWA)的实现。

英文摘要:

We describe a method to measure the magnetic field orientation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) using Faraday rotation (FR). Two basic FR profiles, Gaussian-shaped with a single polarity or "N"-like with polarity reversals, are produced by a radio source occulted by a moving flux rope depending on its orientation. These curves are consistent with the Helios observations, providing evidence for the flux-rope geometry of CMEs. Many background radio sources can map CMEs in FR onto the sky. We demonstrate with a simple flux rope that the magnetic field orientation and helicity of the flux rope can be determined 2-3 days before it reaches Earth, which is of crucial importance for space weather forecasting. An FR calculation based on global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of CMEs in a background heliosphere shows that FR mapping can also resolve a CME geometry curved back to the Sun. We discuss implementation of the method using data from the Mileura Widefield Array (MWA).
