从临边附近的TRACE和SDO观测得到的过渡区和低日冕的结构

Structure of the transition region and the low corona from TRACE and SDO observations near the limb

C. E. Alissandrakis, A. Valentino

摘要:

我们研究了连续谱的TRACE图像和1600和171 A波段以及连续谱(来自HMI)和所有AIA波段的SDO图像中的太阳边缘附近的结构。利用水星在1999年和2012年分别在太阳盘前过境时的位置作为TRACE和金星在SDO的位置,对不同波段的图像进行了仔细的对准。TRACE 171 A波段的色球吸收结构在白光边缘上方7”处最清晰可见,非常接近内边缘,定义为中心到边缘强度变化的上升部分的拐点。它们与1600 A波段的发射中的针状体相关,但不完全相同。从AIA和SOT图像获得了类似的结果。304 A中的高针状体与高温带中的任何吸收无关。在靠近N、S、E和W分支的15度扇区上执行强度的方位角平均,我们测量了所有AIA频带中的分支和峰值强度的高度。我们发现,在过渡区AIA带的内肢高度随波长增加,从中性H和他的吸收的束缚自由的起源一致。由此,我们计算出柱密度和中性氢密度随高度的变化。我们估计的高度为(2300 $\pm$ 500)公里的过渡区的基础。最后,我们测量了日冕的AIA发射的标度高度,并将其与温度相关联;我们推导出极冕的值为(1.24 $\pm$ 0.25)10 $^6$ K。

英文摘要:

We examined the structure near the solar limb in TRACE images of the continuum and in the 1600 and 171 A bands as well as in SDO images in the continuum (from HMI) and all AIA bands. The images in different wavelength bands were carefully coaligned by using the position of Mercury for TRACE and Venus for SDO during their transit in front of the solar disk in 1999 and 2012 respectively. Chromospheric absorbing structures in the TRACE 171 A band are best visible 7" above the white light limb, very close to the inner limb, defined as the inflection point of the rising part of the center-to-limb intensity variation. They are correlated with, but are not identical to spicules in emission, seen in the 1600 A band. Similar results were obtained from AIA and SOT images. Tall spicules in 304 A are not associated with any absorption in the higher temperature bands. Performing azimuthal averaging of the intensity over 15 degree sectors near the N, S, E and W limbs, we measured the height of the limb and of the peak intensity in all AIA bands. We found that the inner limb height in the transition region AIA bands increases with wavelength, consistent with a bound-free origin of the absorption from neutral H and He. From that we computed the column density and the density of neutral hydrogen as a function of height. We estimated a height of (2300 $\pm$ 500)km for the base of the transition region. Finally, we measured the scale height of the AIA emission of the corona and associated it with the temperature; we deduced a value of (1.24 $\pm$ 0.25) 10$^6$ K for the polar corona.
