The presence of electric currents in the atmospheres of magnetic chemically peculiar (mCP) stars could bring important theoretical constrains about the nature and evolution of magnetic field in these stars. The Lorentz force, which results from the interaction between the magnetic field and the induced currents, modifies the atmospheric structure and induces characteristic rotational variability of pressure-sensitive spectroscopic features, that can be analysed using phase-resolved spectroscopic observations. In this work we continue the presentation of results of the magnetic pressure studies in mCP stars focusing on the high-resolution spectroscopic observations of Bp star 56Ari. We have detected a significant variability of the Halpha, Hbeta, and Hgamma spectral lines during full rotation cycle of the star. Then these observations are interpreted in the framework of the model atmosphere analysis, which accounts for the Lorentz force effects. We used the LLmodels stellar model atmosphere code for the calculation of the magnetic pressure effects in the atmosphere of 56Ari taking into account realistic chemistry of the star and accurate computations of the microscopic plasma properties. The Synth3 code was employed to simulate phase-resolved variability of Balmer lines. We demonstrate that the model with the outward-directed Lorentz force in the dipole+quadrupole configuration is likely to reproduce the observed hydrogen lines variation. These results present strong evidences for the presence of non-zero global electric currents in the atmosphere of this early-type magnetic star.

我们计算的变化,在洛伦兹力集成在太阳大气层外所观察到的变化,发生在大,爆发性太阳耀斑的矢量磁图暗示。这种力的扰动应该由作用在太阳光球层和太阳内部的大小相等、方向相反的力的扰动来平衡。太阳内部估计力变化的表达式概括了Hudson,Fisher和Welsch(CS-383,ASP,221,2008)提出的早期表达式,提供了水平和垂直力分量,并为扰动力的垂直分量提供了更准确的结果。我们表明,磁爆发应导致在光球的磁场变得更加水平,因此应导致一个向下(朝向太阳内部)的力的变化作用于光球和太阳内部,最近从分析磁记录数据由王和刘(Astrophys. J. Lett. 716,L195,2010)。我们建议存在一个观测之间的关系,从矢量磁图的变化计算力的变化,从耀斑喷出物携带的向外动量,和属性的日震扰动驱动的向下的力的变化。我们使用的脉冲驱动的洛伦兹力的变化,在太阳大气层外,推导出一个上限的爆发等离子体,可以逃离太阳的质量。最后,我们比较了预期的洛伦兹力的变化在光球与简单的估计耀斑驱动的气体动力学扰动和估计的扰动压力从辐射回暖的光球在耀斑的条件。

Analysis of sudden variations in photospheric magnetic fields during a large flare and their influences in the solar atmosphere
2013年4月11日,太阳活动区NOAA 11719产生了一个巨大的双带耀斑。利用太阳动力学天文台(SDO)日震磁象仪(HMI)在Fe I 6173埃谱线上获得的磁象图,研究了耀斑期间活动区光球磁场的突然变化。HMI的视线磁图的分析表明,突然和持续的磁场变化在不同的位置的活动区的耀斑爆发前和耀斑期间。HMI提供的矢量磁场观测结果也显示了这些位置的总磁场强度及其倾角的一致变化。利用从HMI获得的同步多普勒图,我们观察到扰动的光球多普勒信号的磁场在上述位置的突然变化。这些速度信号的功率谱分析表明,在耀斑期间,这些受影响的位置相比,耀斑前的条件下,增强的声功率。伴随着这些观测,我们还使用了全球振荡网络组(GONG)在谱线H-α 6562.8埃获得的近同步色球观测,以研究耀斑带的演化和活动区的强度振荡。在上述位置的耀斑期间,H-α强度振荡也显示出增强的振荡功率。这些结果表明,与磁场突变相关的瞬态洛伦兹力可以驱动局域光球和色球振荡,类似于耀斑引起的太阳大气振荡。
