冕洞区的偶极演化

Dipolar Evolution in a Coronal Hole Region

Shuhong Yang, Jun Zhang, Juan Manuel Borrero

摘要:

利用SOHO、STEREO和Hinode的观测资料,研究了赤道冕洞区的磁场演化。两个偶极子一个接一个地出现。第一偶极子的负元件由于与第二偶极子的正元件的相互作用而消失。在这个过程中,观察到喷流和等离子体爆发。第二偶极子的相反极性先分离,然后相互抵消,这是首次在冕洞中报道的。随着第二偶极子无符号磁通量在两天内从9.8*10^20 Mx减少到3.0*10^20 Mx,171 A亮度下降了75%,冕环明显收缩。在相消位置,横向场很强,直接从正元素指向负元素,同时观测到平均速度为0.9 km s-1的多普勒红移,与相消岛运动的水平速度(1.0 km s-1)相当。几天后,日冕洞的东北部,偶极子所在的地方,似乎是一个安静的区域。这些观测结果支持了两个偶极子之间的相互作用是由磁通重联引起的,而第二个偶极子的相反极性之间的抵消是由于原始环路的淹没。这些结果将有助于我们理解冕洞的演化。

英文摘要:

Using observations from the SOHO, STEREO and Hinode, we investigate magnetic field evolution in an equatorial coronal hole region. Two dipoles emerge one by one. The negative element of the first dipole disappears due to the interaction with the positive element of the second dipole. During this process, a jet and a plasma eruption are observed. The opposite polarities of the second dipole separate at first, and then cancel with each other, which is first reported in a coronal hole. With the reduction of unsigned magnetic flux of the second dipole from 9.8*10^20 Mx to 3.0*10^20 Mx in two days, 171 A brightness decreases by 75% and coronal loops shrink obviously. At the cancellation sites, the transverse fields are strong and point directly from the positive elements to the negative ones, meanwhile Doppler red-shifts with an average velocity of 0.9 km s-1 are observed, comparable to the horizontal velocity (1.0 km s-1) derived from the cancelling island motion. Several days later, the northeastern part of the coronal hole, where the dipoles are located, appears as a quiet region. These observations support the idea that the interaction between the two dipoles is caused by flux reconnection, while the cancellation between the opposite polarities of the second dipole is due to the submergence of original loops. These results will help us to understand coronal hole evolution.
