太阳低层大气的小尺度结构和动力学

Small-scale structure and dynamics of the lower solar atmosphere

Sven Wedemeyer-Böhm, Friedrich Wöger

摘要:

宁静太阳的色球层是一种高度间歇性和动态的现象。三维辐射(磁)流体动力学模拟表现出网状图案的热激波前和冷膨胀的激波后区域的子冠层部分的互联网络。这个域可以被称为“fluctosphere”。该图案是由传播激波产生的,激波在对流区的顶部和光球过冲层中被激发。新的高分辨率观测揭示了一个普遍存在的明亮结构和中间黑暗区域的小尺度模式。虽然它在质量上类似于模型中看到的画面,但需要更多的观测-例如,未来的ALMA -以便与目前和未来的模型进行彻底的比较。定量比较的合成强度地图和光谱的三维(磁)流体动力学模拟的需求。必要的辐射转移计算,必须考虑到偏离局部热力学平衡,计算非常复杂,因此迄今为止还没有产生可靠的结果。在这项任务变得可行之前,我们必须依赖于对模拟和观测结果进行仔细的定性比较。在这里,我们讨论了在进行这种比较时必须考虑的影响。尽管如此,我们现在即将组装一个全面的图片太阳色球在网络间的地区作为动态的相互作用的冲击波和结构和引导磁场。

英文摘要:

The chromosphere of the quiet Sun is a highly intermittent and dynamic phenomenon. Three-dimensional radiation (magneto-)hydrodynamic simulations exhibit a mesh-like pattern of hot shock fronts and cool expanding post-shock regions in the sub-canopy part of the inter-network. This domain might be called "fluctosphere". The pattern is produced by propagating shock waves, which are excited at the top of the convection zone and in the photospheric overshoot layer. New high-resolution observations reveal a ubiquitous small-scale pattern of bright structures and dark regions in-between. Although it qualitatively resembles the picture seen in models, more observations - e.g. with the future ALMA - are needed for thorough comparisons with present and future models. Quantitative comparisons demand for synthetic intensity maps and spectra for the three-dimensional (magneto-)hydrodynamic simulations. The necessary radiative transfer calculations, which have to take into account deviations from local thermodynamic equilibrium, are computationally very involved so that no reliable results have been produced so far. Until this task becomes feasible, we have to rely on careful qualitative comparisons of simulations and observations. Here we discuss what effects have to be considered for such a comparison. Nevertheless we are now on the verge of assembling a comprehensive picture of the solar chromosphere in inter-network regions as dynamic interplay of shock waves and structuring and guiding magnetic fields.
