摘要:

利用Hinode/EIS 2 $"$光谱观测,我们研究了沿喷流的最强Fe XII 195.12谱线的强度、速度和半高宽变化,以寻找Alfvén波的特征。我们数值模拟脉冲产生的阿尔文波垂直哈里斯电流片内,形成射流等离子体流,并模仿他们的观测签名。利用FLASH程序,在垂直Harris电流片内嵌入弱膨胀磁场位形的大气模型下,求解二维半维(2.5-D)理想磁流体动力学(MHD)方程,研究了等离子体射流形成过程中Alfvén波和垂直气流的演化.在距喷流底部高度为$\sim 5~\mathrm{Mm}$处,Fe XII 195.12谱线的红移速度分量达到最大值($5~\mathrm{km\,s}^{-1}$),并在高度为$5-10~\mathrm{Mm}$之间转变为蓝移速度分量。光谱强度持续增加,直到$10~\mathrm{Mm}$,而FWHM仍然表现出几乎恒定的趋势的低值。这表明喷流磁场拓扑结构中的重连点位于日冕$5-10~\mathrm{Mm}$中,而日冕的脚点则固定在太阳表面。超过这个高度,FWHM显示出增长的趋势。这可能是阿尔文波的特征,由于重连而冲动地演变并沿着喷流传播。从我们的数值数据,我们评估了空间和时间平均阿尔文波速度振幅在不同高度的喷流的电流片,这有助于非热运动和谱线加宽。Fe XII $195.12~\mathrmÅ$线的合成宽度呈现出与观测数据相似的增加趋势,可能证明了脉冲产生的(通过重联)Alfvén波的存在,该波沿着喷流传播。

英文摘要:

Using the Hinode/EIS 2$"$ spectroscopic observations, we study the intensity, velocity, and FWHM variations of the strongest Fe XII 195.12 Å line along the jet to find the signature of Alfvén waves. We simulate numerically the impulsively generated Alfvén waves within the vertical Harris current-sheet, forming the jet plasma flows, and mimicking their observational signatures. Using the FLASH code and the atmospheric model with embedded weakly expanding magnetic field configuration within a vertical Harris current-sheet, we solve the two and half-dimensional (2.5-D) ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations to study the evolution of Alfvén waves and vertical flows forming the plasma jet. At a height of $\sim 5~\mathrm{Mm}$ from the base of the jet, the red-shifted velocity component of Fe XII 195.12 Å line attains its maximum ($5~\mathrm{km\,s}^{-1}$) which converts into a blue-shifted one between the altitude of $5-10~\mathrm{Mm}$. The spectral intensity continously increases up to $10~\mathrm{Mm}$, while FWHM still exhibits the low values with almost constant trend. This indicates that the reconnection point within the jet's magnetic field topology lies in the corona $5-10~\mathrm{Mm}$ from its footpoint anchored in the Sun's surface. Beyond this height, FWHM shows a growing trend. This may be the signature of Alfvén waves that impulsively evolve due to reconnection and propagate along the jet. From our numerical data, we evaluate space- and time- averaged Alfvén waves velocity amplitudes at different heights in the jet's current-sheet, which contribute to the non-thermal motions and spectral line broadening. The synthetic width of Fe XII $195.12~\mathrmÅ$ line exhibits similar trend of increment as in the observational data, possibly proving the existence of impulsively generated (by reconnection) Alfvén waves which propagate along the jet.
