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.
Non-equilibrium Ionization Effects on Extreme-Ultraviolet Emissions Modulated by Standing Sausage Modes in Coronal Loops
在不同的通带的发射特性的前向建模是非常重要的,自信地识别结构日冕中的磁流体动力学波。以Fe IX 171和Fe XII 193发射线为例,研究了非平衡电离(NEI)对冕环中固定快香肠模(FSM)调制的极紫外(EUV)辐射的影响.从直圆柱体中的线性FSM的表达式开始,通过将自洽导出的离子分数纳入相关贡献函数,我们合成了两条谱线的比强度和光谱轮廓。我们发现,相对于平衡电离(EI)假设的情况下,NEI相当大的影响的强度调制,但基本上没有表现出对多普勒速度或宽度的影响。此外,NEI可能会影响强度变化之间的相位差和那些在多普勒宽度为Fe XII 193时,视线是倾斜的环轴。当假设EI时,该差值为$180^\circ$,而当为我们选择的参数引入NEI时,该差值为$\sim 90^\circ$。我们的结论是,除了视角和仪器分辨率,NEI进一步复杂化的检测FSM的光谱测量中的EUV通带中的日冕循环。

Point spread function of SDO/HMI and the effects of stray light correction on the apparent properties of solar surface phenomena
我们提出了一个PSF SDO/HMI,并讨论了它的去除HMI数据中的太阳表面现象的表观特性的影响。PSF是从金星凌日的观测中检索的,通过将其与金星盘和太阳背景模型的卷积进行匹配,并使用猜测PSF。观测记录的时间接近金星凌日的仪器散射光校正的解卷积与PSF。相对于原始数据,恢复的HMI数据中的粒化对比度大大增强,并且与数值模拟表现出合理的一致性。图像复原显著增强了光球磁特征的视强度和像元平均磁场强度。对于小规模的磁性功能,恢复增强的强度对比度在连续和核心的Fe I 617.3 nm线的一个因素为1.3,和磁图信号的一个因素为1.7。对于太阳黑子和毛孔,增强在特征内部和特征之间变化很大,对于较小的特征更加尖锐。磁场特征也变得更小,因为信号被涂抹到周围安静的太阳上被恢复。图像恢复增加了明显的数量磁通量以上的噪音地板的一个因素约1.2,大部分的增益来自安静的太阳。由于颗粒化和超颗粒化的视线速度提高了1.4到2.1倍,这取决于太阳圆盘上的位置。有迹象表明,PSF在FOV中随时间变化,并且在两个CCD之间变化。然而,发现所有这些变化相对较小,使得导出的PSF可以应用于来自两个CCD的HMI数据,在检查期间不引入显著误差。图像恢复影响测量的辐射,磁和太阳表面现象的动力学特性,足以显着影响解释。
