活动区形成前的高波数太阳$f$模强化

High-wavenumber solar $f$-mode strengthening prior to active region formation

Nishant K. Singh, Harsha Raichur, Axel Brandenburg

摘要:

我们报告了一个系统的加强当地的太阳表面或基本的$f$模式$1$ - $2$天前出现的活动区(AR)在同一(共转)的位置。除了可能相关的磁场峰度增加外,在当时的磁图中看不到任何迹象。我们的研究是由Singh等人(2014)的早期数值发现激发的,该发现表明,在存在集中在表面以下几个标度高度的非均匀磁场的情况下,$f$模式在高波数的诊断$kω$图中呈扇形散开。在这里,我们使用太阳动力学天文台上的日震和磁成像仪的数据来探索这种可能性,并显示了六个孤立的AR,11130,11158,11242,11105,11072和11768,(对应于3000 km左右的水平尺度),$f$模在AR形成前约2天显示出增强,从而为AR形成提供了新的前兆。此外,我们研究了两个AR,12051和11678,除了一个磁安静的补丁躺在旁边的AR~12529,以证明在提取这样的前兆信号时,一个新形成的AR出现在一个补丁,位于一个或几个已经存在的AR,预计污染相邻的补丁附近的挑战。然后,我们讨论了合理的程序,从拥挤的环境中提取前兆信号。$f$模式在太阳表面出现任何可见的磁活动之前几天就被扰动了,这一想法对于约束旨在理解太阳全球磁活动的发电机模型非常重要。

英文摘要:

We report a systematic strengthening of the local solar surface or fundamental $f$-mode $1$-$2$ days prior to the emergence of an active region (AR) in the same (corotating) location. Except for a possibly related increase in the kurtosis of the magnetic field, no indication can be seen in the magnetograms at that time. Our study is motivated by earlier numerical findings of Singh et al. (2014) which showed that, in the presence of a nonuniform magnetic field that is concentrated a few scale heights below the surface, the $f$-mode fans out in the diagnostic $kω$ diagram at high wavenumbers. Here we explore this possibility using data from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory and show for six isolated ARs, 11130, 11158, 11242, 11105, 11072, and 11768, that at large latitudinal wavenumbers (corresponding to horizontal scales of around 3000 km), the $f$-mode displays strengthening about two days prior to AR formation and thus provides a new precursor for AR formation. Furthermore, we study two ARs, 12051 and 11678, apart from a magnetically quiet patch lying next to AR~12529, to demonstrate the challenges in extracting such a precursor signal when a newly forming AR emerges in a patch that lies in close proximity of one or several already existing ARs which are expected to pollute neighboring patches. We then discuss plausible procedures for extracting precursor signals from regions with crowded environments. The idea that the $f$-mode is perturbed days before any visible magnetic activity occurs at the surface can be important in constraining dynamo models aimed at understanding the global magnetic activity of the Sun.
