摘要:

最近发现的在活跃区域常见的长周期EUV脉动被认为是热不平衡(TNE)的日冕表现。以前用EIT/SOHO和AIA/SDO研究的活动区表明,长周期强度脉动只局限于一个或两个环束。这项研究的基本思路是了解为什么。为此,我们测试了不同的回路系统的响应,使用不同的磁配置,不同的分层和强度的加热。我们提出了一个广泛的参数空间研究,使用一维流体动力学模拟(共1,020),并得出结论,TNE的发生需要特定的参数组合。我们的研究表明,TNE圈被限制在参数空间的特定范围内。这自然解释了为什么只有一些环路在几天内经历恒定的周期性脉动:由于环路的几何形状和加热特性通常在活动区域中从一个环路到另一个环路有所不同,只有这些参数兼容的环路才会表现出TNE循环。此外,这些参数(加热和几何形状)可能在循环的持续时间内显著变化,这可能限制周期性行为的可能性。这项研究还证实了长周期强度脉动和日冕雨是同一现象的两个方面:这两种现象可以在相似的加热条件下发生,并且可以在模拟中同时出现。

英文摘要:

Long-period EUV pulsations, recently discovered to be common in active regions, are understood to be the coronal manifestation of thermal non-equilibrium (TNE). The active regions previously studied with EIT/SOHO and AIA/SDO indicated that long-period intensity pulsations are localized in only one or two loop bundles. The basic idea of this study is to understand why. For this purpose, we tested the response of different loop systems, using different magnetic configurations, to different stratifications and strengths of the heating. We present an extensive parameter-space study using 1D hydrodynamic simulations (1,020 in total) and conclude that the occurrence of TNE requires specific combinations of parameters. Our study shows that the TNE cycles are confined to specific ranges in parameter space. This naturally explains why only some loops undergo constant periodic pulsations over several days: since the loop geometry and the heating properties generally vary from one loop to another in an active region, only the ones in which these parameters are compatible exhibits TNE cycles. Furthermore, these parameters (heating and geometry) are likely to vary significantly over the duration of a cycle, which potentially limits the possibilities of periodic behavior. This study also confirms that long-period intensity pulsations and coronal rain are two aspects of the same phenomenon: both phenomena can occur for similar heating conditions and can appear simultaneously in the simulations.
