关于“解决太阳矢量磁场数据中的180度模糊性:评估噪声、空间分辨率和方法假设的影响”的评论
Comment on "Resolving the 180-deg Ambiguity in Solar Vector Magnetic Field Data: Evaluating the Effects of Noise, Spatial Resolution, and Method Assumptions"
摘要:
在最近的一篇论文中,Leka等人(Solar Phys. 260,83,2009)构建了一个合成矢量磁图,表示仅在高度上的一小部分角秒内定义的三维磁结构。他们重组了磁图,以模拟有限空间分辨率的条件,然后比较了各种方位消除歧义方法对重采样数据的结果。依赖于潜在和/或非潜在磁场物理计算的方法在几乎相同的视野扩展部分失败,Leka等人(2009)将这些失败归因于有限的空间分辨率。这项研究表明,这些方法的失败是不是由于有限的空间分辨率,但由于狭隘的定义测试数据。这种狭窄的磁结构在真实的太阳中是不现实的。基于物理的消歧方法适用于太阳磁场延伸到无穷远,并不是为了处理这样的数据而设计的;因此,它们只能失败这个测试。我演示了如何适当的有限分辨率消歧测试可以通过构建一个合成的矢量磁图非常类似于Leka等人(2009),但代表了在太阳光球上方的半无限空间中定义的结构。对于这张磁图,我发现即使是一个简单的位场消歧方法也能非常成功地解决模糊性,而不管有限的空间分辨率。因此,尽管Leka等人(2009)得出了结论,但还需要对方位消歧方法进行适当的有限空间分辨率测试,以确定最佳想法和算法。
英文摘要:
In a recent paper, Leka at al. (Solar Phys. 260, 83, 2009)constructed a synthetic vector magnetogram representing a three-dimensional magnetic structure defined only within a fraction of an arcsec in height. They rebinned the magnetogram to simulate conditions of limited spatial resolution and then compared the results of various azimuth disambiguation methods on the resampled data. Methods relying on the physical calculation of potential and/or non-potential magnetic fields failed in nearly the same, extended parts of the field of view and Leka et al. (2009) attributed these failures to the limited spatial resolution. This study shows that the failure of these methods is not due to the limited spatial resolution but due to the narrowly defined test data. Such narrow magnetic structures are not realistic in the real Sun. Physics-based disambiguation methods, adapted for solar magnetic fields extending to infinity, are not designed to handle such data; hence, they could only fail this test. I demonstrate how an appropriate limited-resolution disambiguation test can be performed by constructing a synthetic vector magnetogram very similar to that of Leka et al. (2009) but representing a structure defined in the semi-infinite space above the solar photosphere. For this magnetogram I find that even a simple potential-field disambiguation method manages to resolve the ambiguity very successfully, regardless of limited spatial resolution. Therefore, despite the conclusions of Leka et al. (2009), a proper limited-spatial-resolution test of azimuth disambiguation methods is yet to be performed in order to identify the best ideas and algorithms.
