太阳周期物理学:新观点

Physics of the Solar Cycle : New Views

K. M. Hiremath

摘要:

两个著名的湍流发电机和MHD振荡机制进行了严格审查和根本的困难。对太阳活动周期和活动现象的成因提出了新的看法。在太阳内部极向和环向磁场组合稳定结构存在的必然性。由于合适的稳定极向场结构,在太阳核心激发的长周期(~ 22年)阿尔芬波扰动首先传播到两个半球的两极,然后到达赤道。虽然朝着表面行进,阿尔芬波扰动沿着弱极向场结构,反过来又扰动嵌入的强环向场结构产生太阳黑子,特别是在对流信封,由于浮力沿等旋轮廓线行进到表面。利用太阳内部的真实密度结构,计算沿极向场结构的不同场线的阿尔芬波传播时间(Hiremath和Gokhale 1995)产生几乎相似的周期(~ 22年),解释了从表面磁场的球谐傅立叶分析获得的奇数度模式的22年周期的恒定性。观测到的太阳活动指数在1-5年范围内的准周期性是由于强环向场结构的扰动造成的,而极向和环向MHD振荡的耦合则是导致极长周期太阳活动周期和活动现象(如蒙德和巨极小)的原因。

英文摘要:

Two well known turbulent dynamo and MHD oscillation mechanisms are critically examined and fundamental difficulties are presented. Following new ideas on the genesis of the solar cycle and activity phenomena are presented. Inevitability of most likely existence of a combined steady poloidal and toroidal magnetic field structure in the solar interior. Owing to suitable steady poloidal field structure, Alfven wave perturbations of long periods (~ 22 yrs) that excite in the solar core travel first to the poles in both the hemispheres and later reach the equator. While traveling towards the surface, Alfven wave perturbations along the weak poloidal field structure in turn perturb the embedded strong toroidal field structure producing sunspots, especially in the convective envelope, that travel to the surface due to buoyancy along isorotational contours. With realistic density structure of the solar interior, computation of Alfven wave travel times along different field lines of the poloidal field structure (Hiremath and Gokhale 1995) yields almost similar periods (~ 22 yr) explaining the constancy of 22 yr period of the odd degree modes obtained from the Spherical Harmonic Fourier analysis of the surface magnetic field. The observed quasi-periodicities of solar activity indices in the range of 1-5 years are explained due to perturbation of the strong toroidal field structure and, variation of very long period solar cycle and activity phenomena such as the Maunder and grand minima is explained to be due to coupling of long period poloidal and toroidal MHD oscillations.
