摘要:

高的空间和时间分辨率的太阳黑子,同时获得在多个光学和紫外波长的图像,被用来研究慢磁声波的传播和阻尼特性的过渡区的高度。功率谱是由太阳黑子本影中的强度振荡产生的,跨越多个大气高度,频率高达几百兆赫。据观察,功率谱显示在整个频率范围内的幂律依赖,与显着增强约5.5兆赫的色球通道。的相位差谱揭示了一个截止频率附近的3兆赫,到该振荡是倏逝的,而那些具有较高的频率向上传播。幂律指数似乎随着大气高度的增加而增加。此外,较短的阻尼长度观察到的振荡频率较高,表明频率依赖性阻尼。使用的5.5兆赫(3分钟)的振荡的相对振幅,我们估计在不同的高度,这似乎是从光球逐渐衰减的能量通量,与最近的数值模拟。此外,功率谱在整个本影半径的比较突出了增强的高频波附近的本影中心,这似乎并不相关的磁场倾角的影响。

英文摘要:

High spatial and temporal resolution images of a sunspot, obtained simultaneously in multiple optical and UV wavelengths, are employed to study the propagation and damping characteristics of slow magnetoacoustic waves up to transition region heights. Power spectra are generated from intensity oscillations in sunspot umbra, across multiple atmospheric heights, for frequencies up to a few hundred mHz. It is observed that the power spectra display a power-law dependence over the entire frequency range, with a significant enhancement around 5.5 mHz found for the chromospheric channels. The phase-difference spectra reveal a cutoff frequency near 3 mHz, up to which the oscillations are evanescent, while those with higher frequencies propagate upwards. The power-law index appears to increase with atmospheric height. Also, shorter damping lengths are observed for oscillations with higher frequencies suggesting frequency-dependent damping. Using the relative amplitudes of the 5.5 mHz (3 minute) oscillations, we estimate the energy flux at different heights, which seems to decay gradually from the photosphere, in agreement with recent numerical simulations. Furthermore, a comparison of power spectra across the umbral radius highlights an enhancement of high-frequency waves near the umbral center, which does not seem to be related to magnetic field inclination angle effects.
