驱动太阳耀斑色球蒸发的最佳电子能量

Optimal Electron Energies for Driving Chromospheric Evaporation in Solar Flares

Jeffrey Reep, Stephen Bradshaw, David Alexander

摘要:

在太阳耀斑的标准模型中,电子束的能量沉积驱动了强烈的色球蒸发,导致了明显更密集的日冕和更明亮的光谱发射。Fisher,Canfield,& McClymont(1985 a,b,c)对色球蒸发进行了详细的研究,他们描述了两种不同的状态之间的区别,称为爆发蒸发和温和蒸发。在这项工作中,我们研究的重要性,电子能量和停止深度的两个制度和大气响应。我们发现,爆炸蒸发,大气响应并不强烈依赖于电子能量。在温和蒸发的情况下,较低能量的电子在加热大气和驱动向上流动方面比较高能量的电子更有效。我们还发现,爆炸和温和的蒸发之间的阈值并不固定在一个给定的束流能量通量,但也强烈依赖于电子能量和加热的持续时间。此外,在低电子能量下,需要弱得多的束流来驱动爆炸性蒸发。

英文摘要:

In the standard model of solar flares, energy deposition by a beam of electrons drives strong chromospheric evaporation leading to a significantly denser corona and much brighter emission across the spectrum. Chromospheric evaporation was examined in great detail by Fisher, Canfield, & McClymont (1985a,b,c), who described a distinction between two different regimes, termed explosive and gentle evaporation. In this work, we examine the importance of electron energy and stopping depths on the two regimes and on the atmospheric response. We find that with explosive evaporation, the atmospheric response does not depend strongly on electron energy. In the case of gentle evaporation, lower energy electrons are significantly more efficient at heating the atmosphere and driving up-flows sooner than higher energy electrons. We also find that the threshold between explosive and gentle evaporation is not fixed at a given beam energy flux, but also depends strongly on the electron energy and duration of heating. Further, at low electron energies, a much weaker beam flux is required to drive explosive evaporation.
