Evershed流和半影的亮度

The Evershed Flow and the Brightness of the Penumbra

L. R. Bellot Rubio

摘要:

Evershed流是一种发生在所有太阳黑子半影中的系统性气体运动。它发现于1909年,至今仍缺乏令人满意的解释。我们知道,气流是磁化的,通常是超音速的,在0.2”-0.3”的空间尺度上,它显示出明显的精细结构,但它的起源仍然不清楚。我们希望,对气流和半影磁场之间关系的良好观测理解将有助于我们确定其性质。在这里,我回顾的Evershed流和太阳黑子磁场的高分辨率光谱和光谱偏振测量的特性的进展。使用这些信息作为2D传热模拟的输入,已经证明,沿着几乎水平的场线的热Evershed上升流能够解释太阳黑子最有趣的方面之一:半影相对于本影的剩余亮度。他们还解释了具有暗核的半影灯丝的存在。这些结果支持的想法,Evershed流是主要负责半影区的能量传输。

英文摘要:

The Evershed flow is a systematic motion of gas that occurs in the penumbra of all sunspots. Discovered in 1909, it still lacks a satisfactory explanation. We know that the flow is magnetized, often supersonic, and that it shows conspicuous fine structure on spatial scales of 0.2"-0.3", but its origin remains unclear. The hope is that a good observational understanding of the relation between the flow and the penumbral magnetic field will help us determine its nature. Here I review advances in the characterization of the Evershed flow and sunspot magnetic fields from high-resolution spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric measurements. Using this information as input for 2D heat transfer simulations, it has been demonstrated that hot Evershed upflows along nearly horizontal field lines are capable of explaining one of the most intriguing aspects of sunspots: the surplus brightness of the penumbra relative to the umbra. They also explain the existence of penumbral filaments with dark cores. These results support the idea that the Evershed flow is largely responsible for the transport of energy in the penumbra.
