摘要:

太阳爆发光谱成分的存在,其通量密度在亚太赫兹范围内随频率增加而增加,与众所周知的微波光谱成分在光谱上分离,为从观测和理论上探索耀斑物理过程带来了新的可能性。2006年12月6日的太阳活动开始于世界时18时30分左右,表现出一个特别明确的双光谱结构,SST在212和405 GHz处检测到亚太赫兹光谱成分,欧文斯谷太阳能阵列(OVSA)观测到微波(1-18 GHz)。讨论了卫星上的仪器获得的辐射,重点是过渡区和日冕探测器(TRACE)获得的紫外线(UV)、地球同步运行环境卫星(GOES)的软X射线和Ramaty高能太阳光谱成像仪(RHESSI)的X射线和伽马射线。亚太赫兹脉冲分量仅在较高能量的X射线和伽马射线范围内具有其更接近的时间对应物。在212 GHz的第一次通量增强的发射中心的空间位置明显地从以下阶段的位置偏移了一个弧分以上。所观察到的亚太赫兹通量和爆发源等离子体参数被发现难以调和到一个纯粹的热发射组件。我们讨论了可能的机制来解释在微波和太赫兹范围内的双光谱分量。

英文摘要:

The presence of a solar burst spectral component with flux density increasing with frequency in the sub-terahertz range, spectrally separated from the well-known microwave spectral component, bring new possibilities to explore the flaring physical processes, both observational and theoretical. The solar event of 6 December 2006, starting at about 18:30 UT, exhibited a particularly well-defined double spectral structure, with the sub-THz spectral component detected at 212 and 405 GHz by SST and microwaves (1-18 GHz) observed by the Owens Valley Solar Array (OVSA). Emissions obtained by instruments in satellites are discussed with emphasis to ultra-violet (UV) obtained by the Transition Region And Coronal Explorer (TRACE), soft X-rays from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) and X- and gamma-rays from the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI). The sub-THz impulsive component had its closer temporal counterpart only in the higher energy X- and gamma-rays ranges. The spatial positions of the centers of emission at 212 GHz for the first flux enhancement were clearly displaced by more than one arc-minute from positions at the following phases. The observed sub-THz fluxes and burst source plasma parameters were found difficult to be reconciled to a purely thermal emission component. We discuss possible mechanisms to explain the double spectral components at microwaves and in the THz ranges.
