延伸的太阳活动周期在日冕的高处追踪

The Extended Solar Cycle Tracked High into the Corona

S. J. Tappin, R. C. Altrock

摘要:

我们目前的观察延长太阳活动周期的白光日冕,并比较它们与更熟悉的功能,看到铁XIV绿线日冕。我们发现,在发射日冕中看到的日冕活动区可以跟踪到日冕。活动的峰值纬度发生在太阳活动极大期附近,在所有高度上都非常相似。但是我们发现,在更高的高度,活动区向赤道的漂移更快,在太阳活动周期的下降阶段,较低的活动分支(与当前周期相关)在大约3 Ro处消失。这意味着,在周期的下降阶段,在地球附近探测到的太阳风很可能由下一个周期主导。所谓的“冲向两极”也可以在更高的日冕中看到。在较高的日冕中,它被发现在类似的时间开始,但在较低的纬度比绿线日冕。结构被发现是类似的赤道漂移。

英文摘要:

We present observations of the extended solar cycle activity in white-light coronagraphs, and compare them with the more familiar features seen in the Fe XIV green-line corona. We show that the coronal activity zones seen in the emission corona can be tracked high into the corona. The peak latitude of the activity, which occurs near solar maximum, is found to be very similar at all heights. But we find that the equatorward drift of the activity zones is faster at greater heights, and that during the declining phase of the solar cycle, the lower branch of activity (that associated with the current cycle) disappears at about 3 Ro. This implies that that during the declining phase of the cycle, the solar wind detected near Earth is likely to be dominated by the next cycle. The so-called "rush to the poles" is also seen in the higher corona. In the higher corona it is found to start at a similar time but at lower latitudes than in the green-line corona. The structure is found to be similar to that of the equatorward drift.
