Ponderomotive Acceleration in Coronal Loops

R. B. Dahlburg, J. M. Laming, B. D. Taylor, K. Obenschain

摘要:

有质动力加速度被认为是第一电离势(FIP)效应的原因之一,现在众所周知的是,在FIP小于10 eV的情况下,日冕中元素的丰度比光球值增加了3-4倍。这里所示的数值模拟的手段,有质动力加速发生在太阳日冕环,具有适当的幅度和方向,作为日冕加热的“副产品”。数值模拟与HYPERION代码,它解决了完全可压缩的三维磁流体动力学方程,包括非线性热传导和光学薄辐射。数值模拟了轴向磁场从0.005特斯拉到0.02特斯拉,长度从25000公里到75000公里的冕环。在模拟中,轴向回路磁场的足点通过随机的大规模运动而对流。有一个连续的形成和消散的磁场对齐的电流片,其作用是加热回路。作为日冕磁重联的结果,小规模的高速喷流形成。熟悉的涡旋四极在重联点形成。在磁足点和日冕之间,重联流与边界流汇合。有质动力加速度就是在这个区域发生的。与日冕重联的性质相似,有质动力加速度也是间歇性的。

英文摘要:

Ponderomotive acceleration has been asserted to be a cause of the First Ionization Potential (FIP) effect, the by now well known enhancement in abundance by a factor of 3-4 over photospheric values of elements in the solar corona with FIP less than about 10 eV. It is shown here by means of numerical simulations that ponderomotive acceleration occurs in solar coronal loops, with the appropriate magnitude and direction, as a "byproduct" of coronal heating. The numerical simulations are performed with the HYPERION code, which solves the fully compressible three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations including nonlinear thermal conduction and optically thin radiation. Numerical simulations of a coronal loops with an axial magnetic field from 0.005 Teslas to 0.02 Teslas and lengths from 25000 km to 75000 km are presented. In the simulations the footpoints of the axial loop magnetic field are convected by random, large-scale motions. There is a continuous formation and dissipation of field-aligned current sheets which act to heat the loop. As a consequence of coronal magnetic reconnection, small scale, high speed jets form. The familiar vortex quadrupoles form at reconnection sites. Between the magnetic footpoints and the corona the reconnection flow merges with the boundary flow. It is in this region that the ponderomotive acceleration occurs. Mirroring the character of the coronal reconnection, the ponderomotive acceleration is also found to be intermittent.
