摘要:

我们解释太阳耀斑的事件起源于活动区已达到自组织临界状态,通过使用一个改进的元胞自动机模型与初始条件来自观测。目的:我们调查是否系统,其施加的物理元素,达到自组织临界状态,以及是否众所周知的统计性质的耀斑,如标度律的特征参数的分布函数中观察到的,在这个状态已经达到后,被复制。结果:我们的研究结果表明,自组织临界性确实达到时,应用特定的加载和松弛规则。由模拟耀斑事件的分布函数得到的幂律指数与观测值吻合较好。得到了单次幂律(峰值和总耀斑能量)以及指数截止的幂律和双次幂律(耀斑持续时间)。我们的活动区样本的观测X射线数据从GOES卫星的结果进行了比较。结论:我们的结论是众所周知的统计性质的耀斑后,系统已达到自组织临界性再现。我们改进的元胞自动机模型的一个显著改进是,它从观测到的矢量磁图开始模拟,从而便于以物理单位计算能量。在这项研究中描述的模型仍然符合基本的物理要求,并施加物理上有意义的驱动和再分配规则。

英文摘要:

We interpret solar flares as events originating from active regions that have reached the Self Organized Critical state, by using a refined Cellular Automaton model with initial conditions derived from observations. Aims: We investigate whether the system, with its imposed physical elements,reaches a Self Organized Critical state and whether well-known statistical properties of flares, such as scaling laws observed in the distribution functions of characteristic parameters, are reproduced after this state has been reached. Results: Our results show that Self Organized Criticality is indeed reached when applying specific loading and relaxation rules. Power law indices obtained from the distribution functions of the modeled flaring events are in good agreement with observations. Single power laws (peak and total flare energy) as well as power laws with exponential cutoff and double power laws (flare duration) are obtained. The results are also compared with observational X-ray data from GOES satellite for our active-region sample. Conclusions: We conclude that well-known statistical properties of flares are reproduced after the system has reached Self Organized Criticality. A significant enhancement of our refined Cellular Automaton model is that it commences the simulation from observed vector magnetograms, thus facilitating energy calculation in physical units. The model described in this study remains consistent with fundamental physical requirements, and imposes physically meaningful driving and redistribution rules.
