Matthew Penn, Tom Schad, Erin Cox

摘要:

利用美国国家太阳天文台的McMath/Pierce太阳望远镜观测到的CO分子在4666 nm附近的谱线的多普勒频移和谱线深度,观测到了整个日面的振荡。功率,相干性和相位谱进行了检查,和诊断图显示功率脊在太阳能的全球模式频率显示,这些振荡是太阳能的p-模式。通过与Kopp等人,1992;我们发现CO线形成高度从425 &lt; z < 560 km as we move from disk center towards the solar limb 1.0 >μ&gt; 0.5。速度功率谱表明,虽然在太阳大气中的背景和p-模式的功率的总和随着高度增加,如在以前的工作中看到的,在p-模式的功率(减去背景)随着高度降低,符合倏逝波。CO线的深度减弱,在较强的磁场的区域,作为p-模式振荡功率。在太阳表面的大部分区域,相移都大于绝热大气的90度预期值。我们拟合的相位谱在不同的磁盘位置与一个简单的大气模型,以确定的声学截止频率约为4.5兆赫,只有很小的变化,但热弛豫频率显着下降,从2.7到0兆赫在这些高度在太阳大气中。

英文摘要:

Oscillations were observed across the whole solar disk using the Doppler shift and line depth of spectral lines from the CO molecule near 4666~nm with the National Solar Observatory's McMath/Pierce solar telescope. Power, coherence, and phase spectra were examined, and diagnostic diagrams reveal power ridges at the solar global mode frequencies to show that these oscillations are solar p-modes. The phase was used to determine the height of formation of the CO lines by comparison with the IR continuum intensity phase shifts as measured in Kopp et al., 1992; we find the CO line formation height varies from 425 < z < 560 km as we move from disk center towards the solar limb 1.0 > mu > 0.5. The velocity power spectra show that while the sum of the background and p-mode power increases with height in the solar atmosphere as seen in previous work, the power in the p-modes only (background subtracted) decreases with height, consistent with evanescent waves. The CO line depth weakens in regions of stronger magnetic fields, as does the p-mode oscillation power. Across most of the solar surface the phase shift is larger than the expected value of 90 degrees for an adiabatic atmosphere. We fit the phase spectra at different disk positions with a simple atmospheric model to determine that the acoustic cutoff frequency is about 4.5 mHz with only small variations, but that the thermal relaxation frequency drops significantly from 2.7 to 0 mHz at these heights in the solar atmosphere.
