短特征辐射转移方法强度扩散误差的评估与解决

摘要:

辐射转移与高度逼真的太阳大气模拟相结合,通常用于推断太阳观测所依据的物理特性。由于其计算效率,短特征线方法经常被采用,尽管它引入了数值扩散作为插值伪影。在本文中,我们量化的扩散对合成出射强度图像的空间分辨率的影响,并推导出一个封闭的形式的解析模型的扩散误差作为视角的函数时,使用线性插值。我们证明,图像退化对模拟数据和观测值之间的比较产生不利影响,对于远离盘中心的观测值,除非模拟计算的固有分辨率比观测值高得多。我们还表明,扩散误差很容易避免插值的模拟解决方案的视角对齐的网格之前计算的辐射转移。这样做对于与即将到来的大口径望远镜进行比较至关重要。Inouye太阳望远镜和欧洲太阳望远镜。

英文摘要:

Radiative transfer coupled with highly realistic simulations of the solar atmosphere is routinely used to infer the physical properties underlying solar observations. Due to its computational efficiency, the method of short-characteristics is often employed, despite it introducing numerical diffusion as an interpolation artifact. In this paper, we quantify the effect of the numerical diffusion on the spatial resolution of synthesize emergent intensity images, and derive a closed form analytical model of the diffusion error as a function of viewing angle when using linear interpolation. We demonstrate that the image degradation adversely affects the comparison between simulated data and observations, for observations away from disk-center, unless the simulations are computed at much higher intrinsic resolution than the observations. We also show that the diffusion error is readily avoided by interpolating the simulation solution on a viewing-angle aligned grid prior to computing the radiative transfer. Doing this will be critical for comparisons with observations using the upcoming large aperture telescopes --- the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope and the European Solar Telescope.
