摘要:

无力参数$α$,也称为螺旋度参数或扭曲参数,在某些限制条件下具有与磁螺旋度相同的符号。整个活动区域的$α$的单个全局值给出了每单位轴向长度的扭曲程度。研究了极化噪声对解析双极子的全局$α$值和磁能计算的影响。分析的双极已产生使用的无力场近似与一个已知的常数$α$和磁能的值。从解析双极获得的磁参数被用来生成斯托克斯轮廓从极化辐射转移方程的Unno-Rachkovsky解决方案。然后,我们添加随机噪声的顺序为10 $^{-3}$的连续强度(I $_{c}$)在这些配置文件中,以模拟真实的配置文件,如Hinode(SOT/SP),SVM(USO),ASP,DLSP,POLIS,SOLIS等现代光谱偏振仪获得这些嘈杂的配置文件,然后使用米尔恩-爱丁顿反演代码反演,以检索磁参数。为了研究全球$α$和磁能值中误差的分布,重复了数百次添加随机噪声和极化反演的过程。结果表明:(1). $α$的符号不受偏振噪声的影响,并且可以计算非常精确的全局扭曲值,以及(2)。在无力条件下,可以精确估计磁能,不确定度低至0.5%。

英文摘要:

The force-free parameter $α$, also known as helicity parameter or twist parameter, bears the same sign as the magnetic helicity under some restrictive conditions. The single global value of $α$ for a whole active region gives the degree of twist per unit axial length. We investigate the effect of polarimetric noise on the calculation of global $α$ value and magnetic energy of an analytical bipole. The analytical bipole has been generated using the force-free field approximation with a known value of constant $α$ and magnetic energy. The magnetic parameters obtained from the analytical bipole are used to generate Stokes profiles from the Unno-Rachkovsky solutions for polarized radiative transfer equations. Then we add random noise of the order of 10$^{-3}$ of the continuum intensity (I$_{c}$) in these profiles to simulate the real profiles obtained by modern spectropolarimeters like Hinode (SOT/SP), SVM (USO), ASP, DLSP, POLIS, SOLIS etc. These noisy profiles are then inverted using a Milne-Eddington inversion code to retrieve the magnetic parameters. Hundred realizations of this process of adding random noise and polarimetric inversion is repeated to study the distribution of error in global $α$ and magnetic energy values. The results show that : (1). the sign of $α$ is not influenced by polarimetric noise and very accurate values of global twist can be calculated, and (2). accurate estimation of magnetic energy with uncertainty as low as 0.5% is possible under the force-free condition.
