洛伦兹力的突变与伴随耀斑强度的关系

The Relationship between the Sudden Change of the Lorentz Force and the Magnitude of Associated Flares

Shuo Wang, Chang Liu, Haimin Wang

摘要:

与耀斑有关的光球磁场的快速和不可逆变化已被最近的许多研究所证实。这些研究表明,爆发后光球磁场响应日冕磁场的重组,在磁极反转线(PIL)附近转向水平状态。最近的理论工作表明,与磁爆发相关的洛伦兹力的变化将导致光球层的这种场结构。日震磁成像仪一直在提供前所未有的涵盖第24个太阳活动周期上升阶段的全磁盘矢量磁图。在这项研究中,我们分析了四个活动区的18个耀斑,GOES X射线类别从C4.7到X5.4不等。我们发现,外展PIL周围的磁场存在着永久的、快速的变化,其中最显著的是横向磁场的增加。区域积分场的变化以及由此导出的洛伦兹力的变化都与耀斑的大小有很强的相关性。这是第一次,这样的磁场变化已被观察到,即使是C级耀斑。此外,对于七个事件与相关的CME,我们使用的估计脉冲提供的洛伦兹力,加上观测到的CME速度,估计CME质量。我们发现,如果逆反应的时间尺度很短,即,在10 s量级,CME质量(10^{15} g)与文献报道的结果基本一致。

英文摘要:

The rapid and irreversible change of photospheric magnetic fields associated with flares has been confirmed by many recent studies. These studies showed that the photospheric magnetic fields respond to coronal field restructuring and turn to a more horizontal state near the magnetic polarity inversion line (PIL) after eruptions. Recent theoretical work has shown that the change in the Lorentz force associated with a magnetic eruption will lead to such a field configuration at the photosphere. The Helioseismic Magnetic Imager has been providing unprecedented full-disk vector magnetograms covering the rising phase of the solar cycle 24. In this study, we analyze 18 flares in four active regions, with GOES X-ray class ranging from C4.7 to X5.4. We find that there are permanent and rapid changes of magnetic field around the flaring PIL, the most notable of which is the increase of the transverse magnetic field. The changes of fields integrated over the area and the derived change of Lorentz force both show a strong correlation with flare magnitude. It is the first time that such magnetic field changes have been observed even for C-class flares. Furthermore, for seven events with associated CMEs, we use an estimate of the impulse provided by the Lorentz force, plus the observed CME velocity, to estimate the CME mass. We find that if the time scale of the back reaction is short, i.e., in the order of 10 s, the derived values of CME mass (10^{15} g) generally agree with those reported in literature.
