太阳分米尖峰起源于日冕X射线源吗?

Do solar decimetric spikes originate in coronal X-ray sources?

Marina Battaglia, Arnold O. Benz

摘要:

在标准的太阳耀斑情景中,大量的粒子在日冕中被加速。非热电子发射X射线和无线电波。因此,加速过程的相关签名预测在两个波长,符合要么接近一个磁回路的脚点或附近的日冕X射线源。我们试图研究日冕X射线发射和分米波之间的空间联系,以确定加速过程的位置和几何形状。在一个观测良好的肢体事件中,确定并分析了放射性尖峰源和冠状X射线源的位置。在凤凰-2光谱仪的观测中发现了无线电尖峰。来自南赛射电日像仪的数据被用来确定无线电尖峰的位置。RHESSI图像在软和硬X射线波长被用来确定X射线耀斑的几何形状。这些观测得到了GOES/SXI的图像的补充。我们发现分米波尖峰并不起源于日冕X射线耀斑源,与以前的预期相反。然而,观测结果表明,与主要能量释放地点有关的日冕X射线源与更高日冕中的同步活动之间存在因果关系。

英文摘要:

In the standard solar flare scenario, a large number of particles are accelerated in the corona. Nonthermal electrons emit both X-rays and radio waves. Thus, correlated signatures of the acceleration process are predicted at both wavelengths, coinciding either close to the footpoints of a magnetic loop or near the coronal X-ray source. We attempt to study the spatial connection between coronal X-ray emission and decimetric radio spikes to determine the site and geometry of the acceleration process. The positions of radio-spike sources and coronal X-ray sources are determined and analyzed in a well-observed limb event. Radio spikes are identified in observations from the Phoenix-2 spectrometer. Data from the Nançay radioheliograph are used to determine the position of the radio spikes. RHESSI images in soft and hard X-ray wavelengths are used to determine the X-ray flare geometry. Those observations are complemented by images from GOES/SXI. We find that decimetric spikes do not originate from coronal X-ray flare sources contrary to previous expectations. However, the observations suggest a causal link between the coronal X-ray source, related to the major energy release site, and simultaneous activity in the higher corona.
