太阳磁场的分光偏振观测和SOHO/MDI校准问题

Spectro-polarimetric observations of solar magnetic fields and the SOHO/MDI calibration issue

Michael L. Demidov, Horst Balthasar

摘要:

在不同的谱线上进行太阳磁场测量的比较是非常重要的,特别是在那些观测历史悠久或(和)具有特定诊断意义的谱线上。谱线FeI 523.3 nm和FeI 525.0 nm属于这一类。因此,本研究致力于综合分析使用新的高精度斯托克斯计全磁盘观测。磁盘平均磁场强度比R = B(523.3)/B(525.0)等于1.97 ± 0.02。中心-边缘变化(CLV)为R = 1.74 - 2.43 mu + 3.43 mu^2,其中mu是中心-边缘角的余弦。对于圆盘中心,我们发现R = 2.74,对于mu = 0.3的近边缘区域,R等于1.32。R对空间分辨率的依赖性很小。我们的结果与30年前发表的结果相当接近,但与最近的地磁观测结果有很大差异。我们的研究结果的重要SOHO/MDI磁测数据校准问题的应用进行了讨论。我们的结论是SOHO/MDI数据的修订,仅基于线对FeI 523.3 nm和FeI 525.0 nm的磁场测量的比较(根据最近的出版物,平均增加了1.7或1.6倍)是不明显的,迫切需要新的调查。

英文摘要:

Comparisons of solar magnetic-field measurements made in different spectral lines are very important, especially in those lines in which observations have a long history or(and) specific diagnostic significance. The spectral lines FeI 523.3 nm and FeI525.0 nm belong to this class. Therefore, this study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis using new high-precision Stokes-meter full-disk observations. The disk-averaged magnetic-field strength ratio R = B(523.3)/B(525.0) equals 1.97 +- 0.02. The center-to-limb variation (CLV) is R = 1.74 - 2.43 mu + 3.43 mu^2, where mu is the cosine of the center-to-limb angle. For the disk center, we find R = 2.74, and for near-limb areas with mu = 0.3, R equals 1.32. There is only a small dependence of R on the spatial resolution. Our results are rather close to those published three decades ago, but differ significantly from recent magnetographic observations. An application of our results to the important SOHO/MDI magnetic data calibration issue is discussed. We conclude that the revision of the SOHO/MDI data, based only on the comparison of magnetic field measurements in the line pair FeI 523.3 nm and FeI 525.0 nm (increasing by a factor of 1.7 or 1.6 on average according to recent publications) is not obvious and new investigations are urgently needed.
