解释太阳通量出现时的磁螺旋度通量

Interpreting magnetic helicity flux in solar flux emergence

Chris Prior, David MacTaggart

摘要:

磁螺旋通量给出了关于通过边界的磁场的拓扑结构的信息。在太阳物理学应用中,这一边界就是光球层,磁螺旋度通量已成为分析进入太阳大气层的磁场的一个重要量。在这项工作中,我们研究的演变磁螺旋度通量的磁流体动力学(MHD)模拟太阳通量的出现。我们考虑新兴的磁场与不同的拓扑结构,并探讨如何磁螺旋通量模式对应的动态出现。为了研究螺旋度输入是如何连接到出现过程中,我们考虑两种形式的螺旋度通量。第一种是给出以磁通量加权的拓扑信息的标准形式。第二种形式表示净绕组,可以解释为标准螺旋度通量减去磁通量。这两个数量提供了重要的和独特的信息的新兴领域的结构,这些数量显着不同的混合符号螺旋度字段。这项研究的一个新的方面是,我们占光球的不同形态,由于密集的等离子体的运动提升到色球层。我们的结果将被证明是有用的解释磁螺旋度通量图在太阳观测。

英文摘要:

Magnetic helicity flux gives information about the topology of a magnetic field passing through a boundary. In solar physics applications, this boundary is the photosphere and magnetic helicity flux has become an important quantity in analysing magnetic fields emerging into the solar atmosphere. In this work we investigate the evolution of magnetic helicity flux in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of solar flux emergence. We consider emerging magnetic fields with different topologies and investigate how the magnetic helicity flux patterns corresponds to the dynamics of emergence. To investigate how the helicity input is connected to the emergence process, we consider two forms of the helicity flux. The first is the standard form giving topological information weighted by magnetic flux. The second form represents the net winding and can be interpreted as the standard helicity flux less the magnetic flux. Both quantities provide important and distinct information about the structure of the emerging field and these quantities differ significantly for mixed sign helicity fields. A novel aspect of this study is that we account for the varying morphology of the photosphere due to the motion of the dense plasma lifted into the chromosphere. Our results will prove useful for the interpretation of magnetic helicity flux maps in solar observations.
