太阳表面附近作为亚光球磁场探测器的旋转剪切

Rotational shear near the solar surface as a probe for subphotospheric magnetic fields

Leonid Kitchatinov

摘要:

日震学揭示了在太阳表面之下旋转速率随着深度的增加而增加。径向切变的相对大小几乎与纬度成常数。这种旋转状态可以被解释为近地面对流的两个条件的特点的结果:对流周转时间与旋转周期和对流各向异性的水平优选方向的情况下相比,小。在存在磁场的情况下,后一个条件被违反。这就提出了一个问题,即是否可以用近地表旋转剪切的测量来探测亚光球场。剪切被证明是弱敏感的磁场,但可以作为一个探针足够强的领域的顺序为一千高斯。我们认为,红巨星扩展对流包层中的径向差异旋转与太阳近地表旋转切变是同一起源的。

英文摘要:

Helioseismology revealed an increase in the rotation rate with depth just beneath the solar surface. The relative magnitude of the radial shear is almost constant with latitude. This rotational state can be interpreted as a consequence of two conditions characteristic of the near-surface convection: the smallness of convective turnover time in comparison with the rotation period and absence of a horizontal preferred direction of convection anisotropy. The latter condition is violated in the presence of a magnetic field. This raises the question of whether the subphotospheric fields can be probed with measurements of near-surface rotational shear. The shear is shown to be weakly sensitive to magnetic fields but can serve as a probe for sufficiently strong fields of the order of one kilogauss. It is suggested that the radial differential rotation in extended convective envelopes of red giants is of the same origin as the near-surface rotational shear of the Sun.
