小尺度太阳发电机的空间非定域性

Spatial Nonlocality of the Small-Scale Solar Dynamo

Derek A. Lamb, Timothy A. Howard, Craig E. DeForest

摘要:

我们探索的性质,小规模的太阳能发电机跟踪磁功能。我们调查了两个以前探索的小规模太阳发电机类别:浅和深。最近对浅层发电机的建模工作已经产生了一些方案,说明强网络集中如何影响附近小尺度磁性特征的形成和极性。这些场景都有可测量的特征,我们在这里使用Hinode上的窄带滤波成像仪(NFI)的磁图进行测试。我们没有发现新形成的磁性特征聚集在网络集中周围或远离网络集中的统计趋势,我们也没有发现它们的极性之间的任何统计关系。我们的结论是,有没有浅或“表面”发电机的空间尺度上观察到的Hinode/NFI。根据这些结果,我们提供了一个场景,其中在一个深太阳发电机的次表面场被拉伸和扭曲通过湍流,使外地出现在光球上的随机位置。

英文摘要:

We explore the nature of the small-scale solar dynamo by tracking magnetic features. We investigate two previously-explored categories of the small-scale solar dynamo: shallow and deep. Recent modeling work on the shallow dynamo has produced a number of scenarios for how a strong network concentration can influence the formation and polarity of nearby small-scale magnetic features. These scenarios have measurable signatures, which we test for here using magnetograms from the Narrowband Filter Imager (NFI) on Hinode. We find no statistical tendency for newly-formed magnetic features to cluster around or away from network concentrations, nor do we find any statistical relationship between their polarities. We conclude that there is no shallow or "surface" dynamo on the spatial scales observable by Hinode/NFI. In light of these results, we offer a scenario in which the sub-surface field in a deep solar dynamo is stretched and distorted via turbulence, allowing the field to emerge at random locations on the photosphere.
