摘要:

研究了2005年5月27日活动区NOAA 10767中M1.1耀斑的硬X射线源和耀斑带的磁场结构。在非线性无力场外推中,我们发现在同一极性反转线上,一个小的喷发前磁通量绳位于剪切磁弧附近。Ramaty高能太阳光谱成像仪(RHESSI)和过渡区和日冕探测器(TRACE)分别在X射线和紫外线(UV)1600 nm波段观测到了这一局限耀斑。在该事件中,在几个位置发生了磁重联。它首先开始在爆发前的弦绳的位置。观测结果表明,在耀斑爆发前10分钟左右,爆发前的磁通量绳与剪切磁弧之间发生了磁重联。这意味着形成了更大的通量绳,正如TRACE所观察到的那样。接下来,硬X射线(HXR)源出现在耀斑峰值的这个较大通量绳的足点。相关联的高能粒子可能已经在磁通绳下方、重联区域内或周围加速。尽管如此,HXR源和通量绳足点之间的紧密空间关联有利于通量绳内的加速度。最后,一个大的太阳区域,包括活动区NOAA 10766和10767的拓扑分析表明,存在大规模的准分界线层(QSL)的爆发前的通量绳。在耀斑期间,在这些QSL没有发现增强的发射,但紫外耀斑带停止在最近的大规模QSL的边界。

英文摘要:

We study the magnetic field structures of hard X-ray sources and flare ribbons of the M1.1 flare in active region NOAA 10767 on 2005 May 27. We have found in a nonlinear force-free field extrapolation, over the same polarity inversion line, a small pre-eruptive magnetic flux rope located next to sheared magnetic arcades. Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) and Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) observed this confined flare in the X-ray bands and ultraviolet (UV) 1600 Å\ bands, respectively. In this event magnetic reconnection occurred at several locations. It first started at the location of the pre-eruptive flux rope. Then, the observations indicate that magnetic reconnection occurred between the pre-eruptive magnetic flux rope and the sheared magnetic arcades more than 10 minutes before the flare peak. It implied the formation of the larger flux rope, as observed with TRACE. Next, hard X-ray (HXR) sources appeared at the footpoints of this larger flux rope at the peak of the flare. The associated high-energy particles may have been accelerated below the flux rope, in or around a reconnection region. Still, the close spatial association between the HXR sources and the flux rope footpoints favors an acceleration within the flux rope. Finally, a topological analysis of a large solar region including the active regions NOAA 10766 and 10767 shows the existence of large-scale Quasi-Separatrix Layers (QSLs) before the eruption of the flux rope. No enhanced emission was found at these QSLs during the flare, but the UV flare ribbons stopped at the border of the closest large-scale QSL.
