摘要:

利用{ \em RHESSI}硬X射线成像光谱观测,我们分析了一些扩展日冕环耀斑的电子通量图。对于每一个事件,我们适合一个扩展的加速区域的碰撞模型与所观察到的变化的循环长度与电子能量$E$,导致在等离子体密度的估计,和纵向范围内,加速区域。这些量又允许推断加速区域内的粒子数,并因此推断填充因子$f$ --发射体积与包围发射区域的体积之比。我们得到的$f$值大多在0.1和1.0之间;(几何)平均值是$f = 0.20 \times ÷3.9$,略小于1,但仍然与1一致。此外,将关于加速区域中的粒子的数量的信息与关于高于某个参考能量的粒子的总加速速率的信息(从空间积分的硬X射线数据获得)相结合还允许推断特定加速速率(高于所选参考能量的每个环境电子的电子s $^{-1}$)。我们得到一个(几何)平均值的特定加速率$η(20$千电子伏)$ = (6.0 \times / ÷3.4) \times 10^{-3}$电子s $^{-1}$每个环境电子,这个值的影响与补充的加速区域和粒子加速过程的性质的全球电动力学。

英文摘要:

Using {\em RHESSI} hard X-ray imaging spectroscopy observations, we analyze electron flux maps for a number of extended coronal loop flares. For each event, we fit a collisional model with an extended acceleration region to the observed variation of loop length with electron energy $E$, resulting in estimates of the plasma density in, and longitudinal extent of, the acceleration region. These quantities in turn allow inference of the number of particles within the acceleration region and hence the filling factor $f$ -- the ratio of the emitting volume to the volume that encompasses the emitting region(s). We obtain values of $f$ that lie mostly between 0.1 and 1.0; the (geometric) mean value is $f = 0.20 \times ÷3.9$, somewhat less than, but nevertheless consistent with, unity. Further, coupling information on the number of particles in the acceleration region with information on the total rate of acceleration of particles above a certain reference energy (obtained from spatially-integrated hard X-ray data) also allows inference of the specific acceleration rate (electron s$^{-1}$ per ambient electron above the chosen reference energy). We obtain a (geometric) mean value of the specific acceleration rate $η(20$ keV) $ = (6.0 \times / ÷3.4) \times 10^{-3}$ electrons s$^{-1}$ per ambient electron; this value has implications both for the global electrodynamics associated with replenishment of the acceleration region and for the nature of the particle acceleration process.
