摘要:

Hinode的EUV成像光谱仪(EIS)在活动区(AR)10978的边缘观察到持续的等离子体上升流,因为它穿过太阳盘。我们分析了AR光球磁场和速度场的演化,模拟了AR的日冕磁场,计算了磁零点和准分界线层(QSL)的位置,寻找了EIS上升流的起源。计算的零点处的磁重联不能解释所有观测到的EIS上升流区域。然而,EIS的上升流和QSL被发现并行演变,无论是在时间上还是空间上。两组QSL的部分,称为外部和内部,被发现与具有不同特性的EIS上流。在外部QSL的重联过程是由一个大规模的光球流模式,这是目前在AR的几天被迫。我们提出了一个方案,在该方案中,观察到的上升流提供了足够大的不对称的等离子体压力之间存在的预重联循环,只要光球强迫在工作。类似的机制在内部QSL中起作用,在这种情况下,它是由两个主要AR极性之间的双极的出现和演化所迫使的。我们的研究结果提供了强有力的支持,从以前的个别案例研究调查的作用,磁重联在QSL的起源的上升等离子体的结果。此外,我们建议,沿着QSL的持续重联不仅驱动EIS的上升流,但它也是负责在AR 10978沿其磁盘过境的Nançay射电日像仪观察到的连续米制射电噪声风暴。

英文摘要:

Persistent plasma upflows were observed with Hinode's EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) at the edges of active region (AR) 10978 as it crossed the solar disk. We analyze the evolution of the photospheric magnetic and velocity fields of the AR, model its coronal magnetic field, and compute the location of magnetic null-points and quasi-sepratrix layers (QSLs) searching for the origin of EIS upflows. Magnetic reconnection at the computed null points cannot explain all of the observed EIS upflow regions. However, EIS upflows and QSLs are found to evolve in parallel, both temporarily and spatially. Sections of two sets of QSLs, called outer and inner, are found associated to EIS upflow streams having different characteristics. The reconnection process in the outer QSLs is forced by a large-scale photospheric flow pattern which is present in the AR for several days. We propose a scenario in which upflows are observed provided a large enough asymmetry in plasma pressure exists between the pre-reconnection loops and for as long as a photospheric forcing is at work. A similar mechanism operates in the inner QSLs, in this case, it is forced by the emergence and evolution of the bipoles between the two main AR polarities. Our findings provide strong support to the results from previous individual case studies investigating the role of magnetic reconnection at QSLs as the origin of the upflowing plasma. Furthermore, we propose that persistent reconnection along QSLs does not only drive the EIS upflows, but it is also responsible for a continuous metric radio noise-storm observed in AR 10978 along its disk transit by the Nançay Radio Heliograph.
