第23和24周全球磁场的磁螺旋度

Magnetic helicity of global field in cycles 23 and 24

V. V. Pipin, A. A. Pevtsov

摘要:

首次利用Brandenburg等(2003)和Pipin等(2013)提出的方法重建了太阳全球轴对称磁场的磁螺旋度密度。为了确定矢量势的分量,我们应用了通常在平均场发电机模型中使用的规范。这使得重建的螺旋度与平均场发电机模型的预测直接比较。我们将该方法应用于两个不同的数据集:太阳和日光层天文台(SOHO)的迈克尔逊多普勒成像仪(MDI)的视线(LOS)磁场的天气图和矢量磁场测量矢量光谱仪(VSM)对太阳的天气光学长期调查(SOLIS)系统。通过对MDI/SOHO资料的分析,发现在第23太阳周,全球磁场在北(南)半球具有正(负)磁螺旋度。这种半球符号的不对称性与太阳活动区的螺旋度相反,但与平均场发电机模型的预测一致。这些数据还表明,半球螺旋度规则可能在第23个周期的早期和晚期颠倒了它的符号。此外,这些数据表明,南北半球之间的磁螺旋度不平衡。这种不平衡似乎与第23周期中每个半球的总活动水平相关。利用SOLIS/VSM资料反演了第24周上升相的磁螺旋度,其纬向分布与第23周SOHO/MDI资料的纬向分布基本一致。

英文摘要:

For the first time we reconstruct the magnetic helicity density of global axisymmetric field of the Sun using method proposed by Brandenburg et al. (2003) and Pipin et al. (2013). To determine the components of the vector potential, we apply the gauge which is typically employed in mean-field dynamo models. This allows for a direct comparison of reconstructed helicity with the predictions from the mean-field dynamo models. We apply the method to two different data sets: the synoptic maps of line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic field from the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on board of Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and vector magnetic field measurements from Vector Spectromagnetograph (VSM) on Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun (SOLIS) system. Based on the analysis of MDI/SOHO data, we find that in solar cycle 23 the global magnetic field had positive (negative) magnetic helicity in the northern (southern) hemisphere. This hemispheric sign asymmetry is opposite to helicity of solar active regions, but it is in agreement with the predictions of mean-field dynamo models. The data also suggest that the hemispheric helicity rule may have reversed its sign in early and late phases of cycle 23. Furthermore, the data indicate an imbalance in magnetic helicity between the northern and southern hemispheres. This imbalance seem to correlate with the total level of activity in each hemisphere in cycle 23. Magnetic helicity for rising phase of cycle 24 is derived from SOLIS/VSM data, and qualitatively, its latitudinal pattern is similar to the pattern derived from SOHO/MDI data for cycle 23.
