由高分辨率矢量磁图获得的太阳黑子磁场的全球扭曲

Global Twist of Sunspot Magnetic Fields Obtained from High Resolution Vector Magnetograms

Sanjiv Kumar Tiwari, P. Venkatakrishnan, K. Sankarasubramanian

摘要:

太阳黑子矢量磁场中精细结构的存在已经从日出和其他早期观测中得到证实。利用ASP/DLSP、Hinode(SOT/SP)和SVM(USO)的太阳黑子观测数据,对43个太阳黑子进行了研究。在这个\emph{Letter}中,(i)我们引入了太阳黑子的符号剪切角(SSA)的概念,并建立了它对非无力场的重要性。(ii)我们发现,全球$α$(无力参数)的符号与全球SSA和太阳黑子的光球手征有很好的相关性。(iii)在每个太阳黑子的本影中,都有符号相反的局部$α$斑块。本影中局部$α$的空间变化的幅度通常是太阳黑子的全局$α$的量级。(iv)我们发现局部$α$在半影区呈正负相间的细丝分布。半影中局部$α$的方位角变化幅度比本影中的方位角变化幅度大约大一个数量级。半影区的正电流、负电流和$α$的贡献相互抵消,对整个黑子的整体值几乎没有贡献。(v)在某些黑子的本影-半影边界上,可以看到与本影区的主符号$α$相反的弧形结构(部分环)。(vi)研究的大多数太阳黑子属于第23个$^{rd}$太阳周期的最小时期,不遵循所谓的半球螺旋度规则。

英文摘要:

The presence of fine structures in the sunspot vector magnetic fields has been confirmed from Hinode as well as other earlier observations. We studied 43 sunspots based on the data sets taken from ASP/DLSP, Hinode (SOT/SP) and SVM (USO). In this \emph{Letter}, (i) We introduce the concept of signed shear angle (SSA) for sunspots and establish its importance for non force-free fields. (ii) We find that the sign of global $α$ (force-free parameter) is well correlated with the global SSA and the photospheric chirality of sunspots. (iii) Local $α$ patches of opposite signs are present in the umbra of each sunspot. The amplitude of the spatial variation of local $α$ in the umbra is typically of the order of the global $α$ of the sunspot. (iv) We find that the local $α$ is distributed as alternately positive and negative filaments in the penumbra. The amplitude of azimuthal variation of the local $α$ in the penumbra is approximately an order of magnitude larger than that in the umbra. The contributions of the local positive and negative currents and $α$ in the penumbra cancel each other giving almost no contribution for their global values for whole sunspot. (v) Arc-like structures (partial rings) with a sign opposite to that of the dominant sign of $α$ of the umbral region are seen at the umbral-penumbral boundaries of some sunspots. (vi) Most of the sunspots studied, belong to the minimum epoch of the 23$^{rd}$ solar cycle and do not follow the so-called hemispheric helicity rule.
