摘要:

日冕波是日冕中等离子体动力学的一个重要方面。波前位错是自然界中大多数波的拓扑特征,也是磁流体力学波的拓扑特征。日冕波中有位错吗?位错的发现和解释可以揭示传播波的性质和特征,它们在日冕中的相互作用以及一般的等离子体动力学。我们积极识别位错的冠状波观测的冠状多通道偏振仪(CoMP)的发射日冕线的多普勒频移的奇点。我们研究了可能的奇异性,可以预期在冠状波,并试图重现所观察到的位错的本地化和频率的外观。观测到的位错只能用沿日冕磁场传播的不同频率的扭折波和香肠波模的干涉来解释。在横向于传播的平面中,振荡等离子体的横截面必须小于空间分辨率,并且两个波导致通过投影到视线上而混合的净纵向和横向速度分量。阿尔文波可以负责的扭结模式,但磁声香肠模式是必要的,在所有情况下。不包括更高(长笛)模式。扭结模式的压力幅值小于香肠模式的压力幅值,但其观测到的速度较大。这使位错集中在环的顶部。为了解释位错,任何日冕波的模型都必须包含扭结波和香肠波模式的同时传播和干涉,这两种模式的频率相当但不同,香肠波的振幅比扭结波的振幅小得多。

英文摘要:

Coronal waves are an important aspect of the dynamics of the plasma in the corona. Wavefront dislocations are topological features of most waves in nature and also of magnetohydrodynamic waves. Are there dislocations in coronal waves? The finding and explanation of dislocations may shed light on the nature and characteristics of the propagating waves, their interaction in the corona and in general on the plasma dynamics. We positively identify dislocations in coronal waves observed by the Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP) as singularities in the Doppler shifts of emission coronal lines. We study the possible singularities that can be expected in coronal waves and try to reproduce the observed dislocations in terms of localization and frequency of appearance. The observed dislocations can only be explained by the interference of a kink and a sausage wave modes propagating with different frequencies along the coronal magnetic field. In the plane transverse to the propagation, the cross-section of the oscillating plasma must be smaller than the spatial resolution, and the two waves result in net longitudinal and transverse velocity components that are mixed through projection onto the line of sight. Alfvén waves can be responsible of the kink mode, but a magnetoacoustic sausage mode is necessary in all cases. Higher (flute) modes are excluded. The kink mode has a pressure amplitude that is smaller than the pressure amplitude of the sausage mode, though its observed velocity is larger. This concentrates dislocations on the top of the loop. To explain dislocations, any model of coronal waves must include the simultaneous propagation and interference of kink and sausage wave modes of comparable but different frequencies, with a sausage wave amplitude much smaller than the kink one.
