用太阳动力学观测台日震和磁成像仪模拟和解释安静太阳观测的真实MHD模拟

Using Realistic MHD Simulations for Modeling and Interpretation of Quiet-Sun Observations with the Solar Dynamics Observatory Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager

摘要:

太阳大气是非常动态的,许多重要的现象在小尺度上发展,在太阳动力学天文台(SDO)上的日震和磁成像仪(HMI)仪器的观测中无法解决。为了对观测结果进行正确的校准和解释,研究小尺度结构和动力学对HMI观测值(如多普勒频移、连续谱强度、谱线深度和宽度)的影响非常重要。我们使用3D辐射流体动力学模拟的湍流对流层和大气的太阳,和光谱偏振辐射转移代码研究的观测特性的Fe I 6173 A线的HMI观测安静的太阳区域。我们使用的建模结果来调查的敏感性的线多普勒频移等离子体速度,也等离子体温度和密度的敏感性的线参数,并确定有效的线形成高度的观测太阳区域位于不同的距离盘中心。这些估计对于日震学测量的解释是重要的。此外,我们考虑了各种中心到边缘的影响,如对流蓝移,日震旅行时间的变化,和“凹”太阳效应,并表明模拟可以定性地再现所观察到的现象,表明这些影响与太阳动力学和辐射转移的复杂相互作用。

英文摘要:

The solar atmosphere is extremely dynamic, and many important phenomena develop on small scales that are unresolved in observations with the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). For correct calibration and interpretation of the observations, it is very important to investigate the effects of small-scale structures and dynamics on the HMI observables, such as Doppler shift, continuum intensity, spectral line depth, and width. We use 3D radiative hydrodynamics simulations of the upper turbulent convective layer and the atmosphere of the Sun, and a spectro-polarimetric radiative transfer code to study observational characteristics of the Fe I 6173A line observed by HMI in quiet-Sun regions. We use the modeling results to investigate the sensitivity of the line Doppler shift to plasma velocity, and also sensitivities of the line parameters to plasma temperature and density, and determine effective line formation heights for observations of solar regions located at different distances from the disc center. These estimates are important for the interpretation of helioseismology measurements. In addition, we consider various center-to-limb effects, such as convective blue-shift, variations of helioseismic travel-times, and the 'concave' Sun effect, and show that the simulations can qualitatively reproduce the observed phenomena, indicating that these effects are related to a complex interaction of the solar dynamics and radiative transfer.
