视线几何和仪器分辨率对香肠模强度扰动的影响

Line-of-sight geometrical and instrumental resolution effects on intensity perturbations by sausage modes

Patrick Antolin, Tom Van Doorsselaere

摘要:

太阳大气中MHD波的诊断是一个经常遇到解释问题的话题,部分原因是太阳大气介质的高度复杂性。正演模拟可以有效地指导解释,弥补数值模拟和观测之间的差距,并提高模式识别的可靠性,为MHD地震学的应用。在这项工作中,我们的目的是确定的调制的可观察到的量,如线强度和谱线加宽的快速MHD香肠模式的电晕特性。视线角的影响,空间,时间和光谱分辨率被认为是。我们用一个圆柱管模拟低β日冕环境中的一个环,并使它以快香肠模式振荡。进行参数研究。在其他结果中,我们表明,无论电离状态的等离子体,谱线加宽的变化可以是显着的,即使是低强度调制。这种加宽的性质不是热的,而主要是湍流。这使得光谱仪在检测香肠模式方面明显优于成像仪器。所有量的调制都受到视线角度的显著影响,特别是当空间和时间分辨率与模式的波长和周期相当时。这对仪器设置有很高的限制。

英文摘要:

Diagnostics of MHD waves in the solar atmosphere is a topic which often encounters problems of interpretation, due partly to the high complexity of the solar atmospheric medium. Forward modeling can significantly guide interpretation, bridging the gap between numerical simulations and observations, and increasing the reliability of mode identification for application of MHD seismology. In this work we aim at determining the characteristics of the fast MHD sausage mode in the corona on the modulation of observable quantities such as line intensity and spectral line broadening. Effects of line-of-sight angle, and spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions are considered. We take a cylindrical tube simulating a loop in a low-β coronal environment with an optically thin background, and let it oscillate with the fast sausage mode. A parametric study is performed. Among other results, we show that regardless of the ionisation state of the plasma, the variation of spectral line broadening can be significant, even for low intensity modulation. The nature of this broadening is not thermal but is mostly turbulent. This places spectrometers in clear advantage over imaging instruments for the detection of the sausage mode. The modulation of all quantities is considerably affected by the line-of-sight angle, and especially by the spatial and temporal resolution when these are on the order of the mode's wavelength and period. This places high constraints on instrumentation.
