部分电离日珥等离子体中非绝热磁流体动力学波的时间阻尼:氦的影响

Time damping of non-adiabatic magnetohydrodynamic waves in a partially ionized prominence plasma: Effect of helium

R. Soler, R. Oliver, J. L. Ballester

摘要:

日珥是部分电离的,磁化的等离子体嵌入太阳日冕。阻尼振荡和传播波是常见的。这些振荡已被解释的磁流体动力学(MHD)波。离子中性碰撞和非绝热效应(辐射损失和热传导)已被提出作为阻尼机制。在单流体近似下,研究了氦的存在对等离子体中非绝热MHD波时间阻尼的影响。等离子体由电子、质子、中性氢、中性氦(He I)和单电离氦(He II)组成。导出了均匀、无界、部分电离日珥介质中线性非绝热MHD波的色散关系。计算了阿尔芬波、慢波、快波和热波的周期和阻尼时间。的阻尼时间的周期相对于氦丰度的比率的参数研究进行。氦的存在增加了离子-中性碰撞以及热传导的效率。然而,如果考虑氦的实际丰度(~10%),这种效应对波浪阻尼的影响很小。在研究部分电离日珥等离子体中的MHD波时,可以安全地忽略氦的存在。

英文摘要:

Prominences are partially ionized, magnetized plasmas embedded in the solar corona. Damped oscillations and propagating waves are commonly observed. These oscillations have been interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Ion-neutral collisions and non-adiabatic effects (radiation losses and thermal conduction) have been proposed as damping mechanisms. We study the effect of the presence of helium on the time damping of non-adiabatic MHD waves in a plasma composed by electrons, protons, neutral hydrogen, neutral helium (He I), and singly ionized helium (He II) in the single-fluid approximation. The dispersion relation of linear non-adiabatic MHD waves in a homogeneous, unbounded, and partially ionized prominence medium is derived. The period and the damping time of Alfven, slow, fast, and thermal waves are computed. A parametric study of the ratio of the damping time to the period with respect to the helium abundance is performed. The efficiency of ion-neutral collisions as well as thermal conduction is increased by the presence of helium. However, if realistic abundances of helium in prominences (~10%) are considered, this effect has a minor influence on the wave damping. The presence of helium can be safely neglected in studies of MHD waves in partially ionized prominence plasmas.
