摘要:

利用磁流体地震学观测的扭折波,研究了日冕流注的磁场分布。2012年3月7日的STEREO-B/EUVI时间图像数据显示了两个连续的EUV波的演变,它们与同空间和同时间STEREO-B/COR-I观测中明显的日冕流光的足点相互作用。在STEREO-B/EUVI中,EUV波的演化非常明显,其与日冕流光的能量交换产生扭结振荡。我们估计的扭结波扰动的相速度跟踪它在不同高度的日冕流光。利用STEREO-B/COR-1观测中的偏振亮度图像的SSI,我们还估算了流注内外的电子密度。考虑到扭折波在圆柱形波导中的MHD理论,它们在不同高度处的观测特性,以及流注的密度对比,我们估计了这种磁结构中磁场的径向分布。这两种扭折波都能诊断出日冕层磁场径向分布的指数衰减,其半径可达3个太阳半径。在测量不确定度的范围内,它表明,日冕磁场的流光在不同的高度随时间缓慢变化,虽然它的性质总是保持指数衰减。结果表明,在流注第二次扭折运动的演化过程中,其亮度增加,面积范围也略有增大,这可能与其足点光球磁通量减小有关。结果,与由第一弯折波诊断的磁场分布相比,由第二弯折波产生的磁场分布在拖缆内减小。精确估计的磁场轮廓的不确定度小于10%,与经验轮廓和各种观测估计的外日冕磁场匹配良好。

英文摘要:

Using MHD seismology by observed kink waves, the magnetic field profile of a coronal streamer has been investigated. STEREO-B/EUVI temporal image data on 7 March 2012 shows an evolution of two consecutive EUV waves that interact with the footpoint of a coronal streamer evident in the co-spatial and co-temporal STEREO-B/COR-I observations. The evolution of EUV waves is clearly evident in STEREO-B/EUVI, and its energy exchange with coronal streamer generates kink oscillations. We estimate the phase velocities of the kink wave perturbations by tracking it at different heights of the coronal streamer. We also estimate the electron densities inside and outside the streamer using SSI of polarized brightness images in STEREO-B/COR-1 observations. Taking into account the MHD theory of kink waves in a cylindrical waveguide, their observed properties at various heights, and density contrast of the streamer, we estimate the radial profile of magnetic field within this magnetic structure. Both the kink waves diagnose the exponentially decaying radial profiles of the magnetic field in coronal steamer upto 3 solar radii. Within the limit of uncertainties in the measurements, it is indicated that coronal magnetic field of the streamer varies slowly in time at various heights, although its nature always remains exponentially decaying. It is seen that during the evolution of second kink motion in the streamer, it increases in brightness, and also in areal extent slightly, which may be associated with the decreased photospheric magnetic flux at its footpoint. As a result, the magnetic field profile produced by the second kink wave is reduced within the streamer compared to the one diagnosed by the first one. The precisely estimated magnetic field profiles with the uncertainty less than 10% match well with the empirical profile and various observational estimations of the outer coronal magnetic field.
