太阳耀斑极早期阶段的等离子体加热

Plasma heating in the very early phase of solar flares

M. Siarkowski, R. Falewicz, P. Rudawy

摘要:

本文分析了2002年9月20日RHESSI和GOES卫星观测到的M1.8 GOES级太阳耀斑的软、硬X射线辐射。在这个耀斑事件中,软X射线发射之前的主要散装硬X射线发射的发病约5分钟。这表明,一个额外的加热机制可能是在工作中的早期开始的耀斑。然而,RHESSI光谱表明,非热电子的存在下,也在脉冲阶段。因此,我们假设电子束驱动蒸发是太阳耀斑上升阶段的主要能量传输机制。我们使用非热电子束来自RHESSI光谱作为热源的流体动力学模型的分析耀斑。我们发现,非热电子束提供的能量足以将耀斑环加热到它发出的软X射线严格遵循GOES 1-8 A光变曲线的温度。我们还分析了非热电子数、低能截止、电子谱指数以及这些参数随时间的变化。

英文摘要:

In this paper we analyze soft and hard X-ray emission of the 2002 September 20 M1.8 GOES class solar flare observed by RHESSI and GOES satellites. In this flare event, soft X-ray emission precedes the onset of the main bulk hard X-ray emission by ~5 min. This suggests that an additional heating mechanism may be at work at the early beginning of the flare. However RHESSI spectra indicate presence of the non-thermal electrons also before impulsive phase. So, we assumed that a dominant energy transport mechanism during rise phase of solar flares is electron beam-driven evaporation. We used non-thermal electron beams derived from RHESSI spectra as the heating source in a hydrodynamic model of the analyzed flare. We showed that energy delivered by non-thermal electron beams is sufficient to heat the flare loop to temperatures in which it emits soft X-ray closely following the GOES 1-8 A light-curve. We also analyze the number of non-thermal electrons, the low energy cut-off, electron spectral indices and the changes of these parameters with time.
