摘要:

我们解决了形成的三维零点拓扑结构的太阳日冕相结合的Hinode/XRT观测的一个小的动态肢体事件,发生在旁边的非爆发的日珥腔,与三维零β MHD模拟。为此,我们的模型边界驱动的运动学出现一个紧凑的,强烈的,均匀扭曲的磁通管成一个潜在的领域拱廊,覆盖在弱扭曲的日冕磁通绳。日冕中出现的磁通量的膨胀导致在出现的场和预先存在的场的界面处形成零点。我们揭示了一个两步重联过程中的零点,最终产生的形成一个广泛的三维风扇脊柱配置以上新兴的双极。第一次重新连接涉及新兴领域和一套大规模的拱廊场线。它的结果在发射的扭转MHD波,沿拱廊传播,并在形成剪切回路系统的一侧出现的通量。第二次重联发生在这些新形成的环和遥远的拱廊场之间,并在出现的通量的对面形成第二个环系统。这两个环路系统共同显示了位于扇形表面下方的风幕模式。围绕着零点的内脊场线的磁通量保留了出现的扭曲的一小部分,而剩余的扭曲沿着重新连接的拱圈被疏散。在模拟中发生的特征的性质和时间确实在本文中研究的特定事件中质量再现了XRT观察到的特征。此外,两步重联过程提出了一个新的一致的和通用的模型在太阳日冕的海葵区域的形成。

英文摘要:

We address the formation of 3D nullpoint topologies in the solar corona by combining Hinode/XRT observations of a small dynamic limb event, which occurred beside a non-erupting prominence cavity, with a 3D zero-beta MHD simulation. To this end, we model the boundary-driven kinematic emergence of a compact, intense, and uniformly twisted flux tube into a potential field arcade that overlies a weakly twisted coronal flux rope. The expansion of the emerging flux in the corona gives rise to the formation of a nullpoint at the interface of the emerging and the pre-existing fields. We unveil a two-step reconnection process at the nullpoint that eventually yields the formation of a broad 3D fan-spine configuration above the emerging bipole. The first reconnection involves emerging fields and a set of large-scale arcade field lines. It results in the launch of a torsional MHD wave that propagates along the arcades, and in the formation of a sheared loop system on one side of the emerging flux. The second reconnection occurs between these newly formed loops and remote arcade fields, and yields the formation of a second loop system on the opposite side of the emerging flux. The two loop systems collectively display an anenome pattern that is located below the fan surface. The flux that surrounds the inner spine field line of the nullpoint retains a fraction of the emerged twist, while the remaining twist is evacuated along the reconnected arcades. The nature and timing of the features which occur in the simulation do qualititatively reproduce those observed by XRT in the particular event studied in this paper. Moreover, the two-step reconnection process suggests a new consistent and generic model for the formation of anemone regions in the solar corona.
