摘要:

对行星际介质中的磁场、太阳黑子面积和日光层电流片位置的测量揭示了太阳磁场可能存在南北不对称性。我们研究的南北不对称性推断出的极冕洞射流的偏转测量时,他们在整个日冕传播。由于日冕是一个磁压大于动压的环境,我们可以假设磁场控制着等离子体的动力学。平均而言,喷流在其传播过程中遵循磁场线,突出其局部方向。研究了垂直于视线的平面中的平均射流偏转,以及对于减少数量的射流,在三维空间中的平均射流偏转。根据包括偶极子的轴对称磁场模型研究了观察到的射流偏转。我们测量了Nistico等人2009年目录中79个射流在1 rs和2 rs处的位置角。基于2007年3月至2008年4月太阳活动极小期的STEREO紫外和白光日冕观测。我们发现,传播不是径向的,与由于磁场线的偏转。此外,偏折的量是不同的喷流之间的北部和那些从南极。喷流偏转和场线追踪的比较表明,四极子的g2/g1 ~ -0.5和esapole的g3/g1 ~ 1.6-2.0可以描述场。不可忽略的四极矩的存在。我们发现,喷流的磁偏转是在北方比在南方的25- 40%的顺序,与不对称性,这是一致的,向南偏转的日光层电流片的顺序为10度,与推断从其他,独立的,数据集和仪器。

英文摘要:

Measurements of the magnetic field in the interplanetary medium, of the sunspots area, and of the heliospheric current sheet position, reveal a possible North-South asymmetry in the magnetic field of the Sun. We study the North-South asymmetry as inferred from measurements of the deflection of polar coronal hole jets when they propagate throughout the corona. Since the corona is an environment where the magnetic pressure is greater than the kinetic pressure, we can assume that magnetic field controls the dynamics of plasma. On average, jets during their propagation follow the magnetic field lines, highlighting its local direction. The average jet deflection is studied both in the plane perpendicular to the line of sight, and, for a reduced number of jets, in three dimensional space. The observed jet deflection is studied in terms of an axisymmetric magnetic field model comprising dipole We measured the position angles at 1 rs and at 2 rs of the 79 jets from the catalogue of Nistico et al 2009., based on the STEREO ultraviolet and white-light coronagraph observations during the solar minimum period March 2007-April 2008. We found that the propagation is not radial, in agreement with the deflection due to magnetic field lines. Moreover, the amount of the deflection is different between jets over the north and those from the south pole. Comparison of jet deflections and field line tracing shows that a ratio g2/g1 ~ -0.5 for the quadrupole and a ratio g3/g1 ~ 1.6-2.0 for the esapole can describe the field. The presence of a non-negligible quadrupole moment. We find that the magnetic deflection of jets is larger in the North than in the South of the order of 25-40%, with an asymmetry which is consistent with a southward deflection of the heliospheric current sheet of the order of 10 deg, consistent with that inferred from other, independent, datasets and instruments.
