垂直电流近似非线性无力场代码:描述、性能试验和太阳耀斑中耗散的磁能测量

The Vertical Current Approximation Nonlinear Force-Free Field Code - Description, Performance Tests, and Measurements of Magnetic Energies Dissipated in Solar Flares

Markus J. Aschwanden

摘要:

在这项工作中,我们提供了一个更新的描述的垂直电流近似非线性无力场(VCA-NLFFF)代码,这是为了测量的潜力,非潜力,自由能的演变,和耗散的磁能在太阳耀斑。该码为现有的传统NLFFF码提供了一种补充和替代方法。与传统的NLFFF程序相比,VCA-NLFFF程序的主要优点是避免了磁场外推法中不切实际的无力光球假设,能够最大限度地减小观测到的日冕环(或色球纤维结构)与理论模型磁力线之间的不对准角,以及计算速度。在VCA-NLFFF程序的性能测试中,通过与Wiegelmann(2004)的NLFFF程序进行比较,我们发现在势能、非势能和自由能方面的一致性约为1.3倍,但Wiegelmann程序产生的耀斑能量平均低2倍。的VCA-NLFFF代码被发现,以检测在大多数X,M和C级耀斑的耀斑能量的减少。VCA-NLFFF程序成功地探测到了各种耀斑过程中的能量下降,这表明电流驱动的磁场扭曲和解扭曲是一个足够的模型,可以量化活动区中磁能的储存和耀斑过程中磁能的耗散。- VCA-NLFFF代码也可在Solar SoftWare(SSW)中公开获得。

英文摘要:

In this work we provide an updated description of the Vertical Current Approximation Nonlinear Force-Free Field (VCA-NLFFF) code, which is designed to measure the evolution of the potential, nonpotential, free energies, and the dissipated magnetic energies during solar flares. This code provides a complementary and alternative method to existing traditional NLFFF codes. The chief advantages of the VCA-NLFFF code over traditional NLFFF codes are the circumvention of the unrealistic assumption of a force-free photosphere in the magnetic field extrapolation method, the capability to minimize the misalignment angles between observed coronal loops (or chromospheric fibril structures) and theoretical model field lines, as well as computational speed. In performance tests of the VCA-NLFFF code, by comparing with the NLFFF code of Wiegelmann (2004), we find agreement in the potential, nonpotential, and free energy within a factor of about 1.3, but the Wiegelmann code yields in the average a factor of 2 lower flare energies. The VCA-NLFFF code is found to detect decreases in flare energies in most X, M, and C-class flares. The successful detection of energy decreases during a variety of flares with the VCA-NLFFF code indicates that current-driven twisting and untwisting of the magnetic field is an adequate model to quantify the storage of magnetic energies in active regions and their dissipation during flares. - The VCA-NLFFF code is also publicly available in the Solar SoftWare (SSW).
