摘要:

根据大熊座太阳天文台新太阳望远镜(NST)对太阳颗粒的观测,探讨了太阳宁静区、冕洞和活动区斑中亮点的自行。我们自动检测和跟踪亮点(BP),并推导出它们的均方位移作为时间的函数(从每个BP的出现开始)为所有可用的时间间隔。在所有三种磁场环境中,我们都发现了超扩散机制的存在,这在10-300秒的时间间隔内最为明显。通过光谱指数$γ$(均方位移光谱的斜率)测量的超扩散从谱斑区($γ=1.48$)到宁静太阳区($γ=1.53$)再到冕洞($γ=1.67$)增加。我们还发现,湍流扩散系数的变化与时间和空间尺度成正比。对于最小空间尺度(22 km)和最小时间尺度(10 sec),冕洞和宁静太阳区的$^{2}$ s $^{-1}$分别为22和19 km,而对于斑区,对于最小时间尺度15 sec,$^{2}$ s $^{-1}$约为12 km。我们应用我们的BP跟踪代码的三维MHD模型数据的太阳对流(Stein等。2007),并发现超扩散与$γ=1.45$。得到了湍流扩散系数随尺度和$γ$变化的表达式。

英文摘要:

On the basis of observations of solar granulation obtained with the New Solar Telescope (NST) of Big Bear Solar Observatory, we explored proper motion of bright points (BPs) in a quiet sun area, a coronal hole, and an active region plage. We automatically detected and traced bright points (BPs) and derived their mean-squared displacements as a function of time (starting from the appearance of each BP) for all available time intervals. In all three magnetic environments, we found the presence of a super-diffusion regime, which is the most pronounced inside the time interval of 10-300 seconds. Super-diffusion, measured via the spectral index, $γ$, which is the slope of the mean-squared displacement spectrum, increases from the plage area ($γ=1.48$) to the quiet sun area ($γ=1.53$) to the coronal hole ($γ=1.67$). We also found that the coefficient of turbulent diffusion changes in direct proportion to both temporal and spatial scales. For the minimum spatial scale (22 km) and minimum time scale (10 sec), it is 22 and 19 km$^{2}$ s$^{-1}$ for the coronal hole and the quiet sun area, respectively, whereas for the plage area it is about 12 km$^{2}$ s$^{-1}$ for the minimum time scale of 15 seconds. We applied our BP tracking code to 3D MHD model data of solar convection (Stein et al. 2007) and found the super-diffusion with $γ=1.45$. An expression for the turbulent diffusion coefficient as a function of scales and $γ$ is obtained.
