摘要:

我们调查的影响,包括磁通量在一系列的三维辐射MHD模拟太阳对流,我们用来合成光谱强度分布对应于光盘中心的铁丰度测定。差分方法被用来量化的变化,在理论上等效宽度的一组28铁谱线跨越一个很宽的范围内的拉姆达,激发电位,振荡器强度,Landé因子,和地层高度。在LTE中使用频谱合成代码LILIA计算这些线。我们使用的输入磁对流快照,涵盖50分钟的太阳演化,属于一个系列的平均垂直磁通量密度为0,50,100和200 G。对于相关计算,我们使用哥本哈根交错代码。磁场的存在会对具有非零Landé因子的谱线产生直接(塞曼展宽)效应,并通过光球T-tau分层的变化对温度敏感谱线产生间接效应。估计的原子丰度的相应校正范围从百分之几到百分之二十。|δ测井(Fe)|~ 0.15 dex,取决于谱线和我们考虑的值范围内的平均磁通量的量。塞曼加宽效应在红外光谱中相对更重要。对以前基于可见谱线的太阳丰度测定的最大修改是由于间接效应,即,在光学深度尺度上,由较暖的层结引起的谱线减弱。我们的研究结果表明,平均太阳铁丰度时,使用磁对流模型可以是0.03-0.11德克斯高时,使用简单的HD对流的方法。我们证明,占磁通量是重要的,在国家的最先进的太阳光球丰度测定的基础上的三维模拟。

英文摘要:

We investigate the impact on Fe abundance determination of including magnetic flux in series of 3D radiation-MHD simulations of solar convection which we used to synthesize spectral intensity profiles corresponding to disc centre. A differential approach is used to quantify the changes in theoretical equivalent width of a set of 28 iron spectral lines spanning a wide range in lambda, excitation potential, oscillator strength, Landé factor, and formation height. The lines were computed in LTE using the spectral synthesis code LILIA. We used input magnetoconvection snapshots covering 50 minutes of solar evolution and belonging to series having an average vertical magnetic flux density of 0, 50, 100 and 200 G. For the relevant calculations we used the Copenhagen Stagger code. The presence of magnetic fields causes both a direct (Zeeman-broadening) effect on spectral lines with non-zero Landé factor and an indirect effect on temperature-sensitive lines via a change in the photospheric T-tau stratification. The corresponding correction in the estimated atomic abundance ranges from a few hundredths of a dex up to |Delta log(Fe)| ~ 0.15 dex, depending on the spectral line and on the amount of average magnetic flux within the range of values we considered. The Zeeman-broadening effect gains relatively more importance in the IR. The largest modification to previous solar abundance determinations based on visible spectral lines is instead due to the indirect effect, i.e., the line-weakening caused by a warmer stratification on an optical depth scale. Our results indicate that the average solar iron abundance obtained when using magnetoconvection models can be 0.03-0.11 dex higher than when using the simpler HD convection approach. We demonstrate that accounting for magnetic flux is important in state-of-the-art solar photospheric abundance determinations based on 3D simulations.
