Hinode揭示的太阳黑子光桥中超音速下降流的观测

Observations of Supersonic Downflows in a Sunspot Light Bridge as Revealed by Hinode

Rohan E. Louis, Luis R. Bellot Rubio, Shibu K. Mathew, P. Venkatakrishnan

摘要:

最近从Hinode进行的高分辨率分光偏振观测发现了太阳黑子光桥中超音速下降流的存在(Louis等人,2009年)。这些下降流发生在局部补丁,接近该领域的方位角改变了一个大的值。这种明显的方位不连续性是沿着光桥西部边缘的一条薄脊看到的。其中一些(但不是全部)下流斑块与Ca II H滤光图中看到的色球亮度增强是同空间的。在0.3弧秒尺度下的磁场不均匀性的存在,可能有助于在较低的色球层中磁力线的重联,其特征可能是已经观察到的超音速下降流和亮度增强。

英文摘要:

Recent high resolution spectropolarimetric observations from Hinode detected the presence of supersonic downflows in a sunspot light bridge (Louis et al. 2009). These downflows occurred in localized patches, close to regions where the field azimuth changed by a large value. This apparent discontinuity in the field azimuth was seen along a thin ridge running along the western edge of the light bridge. Some, but not all, of these downflowing patches were co-spatial with chromospheric brightness enhancements seen in Ca II H filtergrams. The presence of magnetic inhomogeneities at scales of 0.3 arcsec could facilitate the reconnection of field lines in the lower chromosphere whose signatures might be the supersonic downflows and the brightness enhancements that have been observed.
