大尺度三维MHD模拟活动区太阳通量的出现和小尺度动力学特征

Large-scale 3D MHD simulation on the solar flux emergence and the small-scale dynamic features in an active region

S. Toriumi, T. Yokoyama

摘要:

我们进行了三维磁流体动力学模拟,研究了从太阳对流区-20,000 km处通过光球层和色球层到日冕的扭曲磁通量管的出现。初始管的中间部分被赋予密度赤字,以煽动浮力出现。当管接近表面时,它水平延伸,并由于管前面的光球而形成平坦的磁性结构。进一步的日冕爆发是由于光球场的不稳定性,最终在表面上形成了几个磁穹。新的发现是,在光球磁图中观测到垂直磁元的多次分离事件,它们反映了交换不稳定性。分离的元素被发现聚集在活动区域的边缘。然后这些聚集的元素显示剪切运动。这些特征非常令人联想到活动区的观测。在上述模拟结果的基础上,我们提出了一个理论图片的流量出现和形成的活动区,解释的观测特征,如多次分离的光斑和剪切运动。

英文摘要:

We have performed a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulation to study the emergence of a twisted magnetic flux tube from -20,000 km of the solar convection zone to the corona through the photosphere and the chromosphere. The middle part of the initial tube is endowed with a density deficit to instigate a buoyant emergence. As the tube approaches the surface, it extends horizontally and makes a flat magnetic structure due to the photosphere ahead of the tube. Further emergence to the corona breaks out via the interchange-mode instability of the photospheric fields, and eventually several magnetic domes build up above the surface. What is new in this three-dimensional experiment is, multiple separation events of the vertical magnetic elements are observed in the photospheric magnetogram, and they reflect the interchange instability. Separated elements are found to gather at the edges of the active region. These gathered elements then show shearing motions. These characteristics are highly reminiscent of active region observations. On the basis of the simulation results above, we propose a theoretical picture of the flux emergence and the formation of an active region that explains the observational features, such as multiple separations of faculae and the shearing motion.
