能量为7.7-8.6 keV的高电离Fe X射线谱线

Highly ionized Fe X-ray lines at energies 7.7-8.6 keV

K. J. H. Phillips

摘要:

1.85 A(6.70 keV)的Fe XXV谱线及其附近的Fe XXIV卫星已被广泛用于测定太阳耀斑和托卡马克等离子体最热部分的温度,但谱区较拥挤,在耀斑脉冲阶段谱线会发生混合。本工作的目的是证明在7.7- 8.6keV(1.44- 1.61A)区域内相似激发的Fe谱线具有相同的诊断能力,但不太拥挤。在适合于太阳耀斑的条件(温度、湍流速度)下,使用CHIANTI光谱包合成了7.7- 8.6 keV范围内的光谱。计算结果表明,在7.7- 8.6keV能量范围内,即使存在湍流速度,Fe线也能很好地分离,因此Fe XXIV/Fe XXV线比可为耀斑和托卡马克等离子体的诊断提供有价值的工具。得出结论,Fe谱线在7.7- 8.6keV范围内是测量耀斑温度和探测耀斑脉冲阶段低能非热电子的理想谱线。给出了观察该区域的仪器类型的指示。

英文摘要:

Fe XXV lines at 1.85 A (6.70 keV) and nearby Fe XXIV satellites have been widely used for determining the temperature of the hottest parts of solar flare and tokamak plasmas, though the spectral region is crowded and the lines are blended during flare impulsive stages. The aim of this work is to show that similarly excited Fe lines in the 7.7--8.6 keV (1.44--1.61 A) region have the same diagnostic capability with the advantage of not being so crowded. Spectra in the 7.7--8.6 keV range are synthesized using the CHIANTI spectral package for conditions (temperature, turbulent velocities) appropriate to solar flares. The calculated spectra show that the Fe lines in the 7.7--8.6 keV are well separated even when turbulent velocities are present, and Fe XXIV/Fe XXV line ratios should therefore provide valuable tools for diagnosing flares and tokamak plasmas. It is concluded that Fe lines in the 7.7--8.6 keV range are ideal for the measurement of flare temperature and for detecting the presence of low-energy nonthermal electrons present at flare impulsive stages. An indication of what type of instruments to observe this region is given.
