使用STEREO/SECCHI和原位观测2012年11月9-10日相互作用CME的演变和后果

摘要:

了解日冕物质抛射(CMEs)在日球层中的运动学演化,对于估计它们到达地球的时间具有重要意义。研究发现,日冕物质抛射在日球层传播过程中,当它们相互作用或碰撞时,运动学会发生变化。本文利用STEREO/SECCHI白光成像观测和WIND卫星原位观测资料,分析了2012年11月9日和10日先后发射的两次对地日冕物质抛射的碰撞和后相互作用特征。我们跟踪了两个密度增强的功能与11月9日CME的前缘和后缘和一个密度增强的功能与11月10日CME的前缘通过构建J-地图。我们发现11月10日CME的前缘与11月9日CME的后缘相互作用。我们还估计了这些功能的CME的运动学,并发现它们的动态相互作用后的显着变化。在原位观测中,我们确定了与相互作用的CME相关的独特结构,并注意到它们的加热和压缩是CME-CME相互作用的特征。我们的分析表明,改进CME的到达时间预测使用碰撞后的动态比使用碰撞前的动态。估计这些碰撞的日冕物质抛射的真实质量和速度,我们研究了所观察到的碰撞的性质,发现其接近于完全非弹性的。研究还对两次日冕物质抛射的地磁后果以及它们在磁暴发生和触发磁层亚暴方面的相互作用进行了展望。

英文摘要:

Understanding of the kinematic evolution of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) in the heliosphere is important to estimate their arrival time at the Earth. It is found that kinematics of CMEs can change when they interact or collide with each other as they propagate in the heliosphere. In this paper, we analyze the collision and post-interaction characteristics of two Earth-directed CMEs, launched successively on 2012 November 9 and 10, using white light imaging observations from STEREO/SECCHI and in situ observations taken from WIND spacecraft. We tracked two density enhanced features associated with leading and trailing edge of November 9 CME and one density enhanced feature associated with leading edge of November 10 CME by constructing J-maps. We found that the leading edge of November 10 CME interacted with the trailing edge of November 9 CME. We also estimated the kinematics of these features of the CMEs and found a significant change in their dynamics after interaction. In in situ observations, we identified distinct structures associated with interacted CMEs and also noticed their heating and compression as signatures of CME-CME interaction. Our analysis shows an improvement in arrival time prediction of CMEs using their post-collision dynamics than using pre-collision dynamics. Estimating the true masses and speeds of these colliding CMEs, we investigated the nature of observed collision which is found to be close to perfectly inelastic. The investigation also places in perspective the geomagnetic consequences of the two CMEs and their interaction in terms of occurrence of geomagnetic storm and triggering of magnetospheric substorms.
