摘要:

Sr~{ \sc i} 4607~ Sr谱线是太阳可见光谱中散射偏振信号最强的谱线之一。由于Hanle效应和辐射场的局部各向异性的联合作用,该偏振信号的幅度预计在颗粒空间尺度上变化。观测这些变化将具有极大的意义,因为它将提供关于太阳光球层小规模活动的宝贵信息。目前,这种空间变化的检测报告很少。这是由于这些测量的困难,需要将高空间分辨率($\sim$ 0.1”)、光谱分辨率($\leq$ 20毫微)和时间分辨率(< 1分钟)与增加的偏振灵敏度($\sim$ 10 $^-$ $^4$)相结合。目标。我们的目的是探测Sr~{ \sc i} 4607~(TM)谱线在不同边缘距离处散射偏振峰的颗粒尺度空间变化,并研究其与连续谱强度的相关性。方法:使用安装在西班牙特内里费岛的GREGOR望远镜和摄谱仪上的Zurich IMaging Polarimeter(ZIMPOL)系统,我们进行了分光偏振测量,以获得太阳盘面上从$μ=0.2$到$μ=0.8$的不同边缘距离处Sr~{ \sc i}线的四个斯托克斯参数。结果:在每一个$μ$上都能清楚地观察到空间分辨率约为0.66”的Sr~{ \sc i} 4607谱线的散射偏振信号的空间变化。这些变化的空间尺度与颗粒大小相当。统计分析表明,Sr~{ \sc i}谱线上的线散射偏振振幅与连续谱中的强度呈正相关,对应于每个$μ$处的颗粒。

英文摘要:

The Sr~{\sc i} 4607~Å spectral line shows one of the strongest scattering polarization signals in the visible solar spectrum. The amplitude of this polarization signal is expected to vary at granular spatial scales, due to the combined action of the Hanle effect and the local anisotropy of the radiation field. Observing these variations would be of great interest because it would provide precious information on the small-scale activity of the solar photosphere. At present, few detections of such spatial variations have been reported. This is due to the difficulty of these measurements, which require combining high spatial ($\sim$ 0.1"), spectral ($\leq$ 20 mÅ), and temporal resolution (< 1 min) with increased polarimetric sensitivity ($\sim$ 10$^-$$^4$). Aims. We aim to detect spatial variations at granular scales of the scattering polarization peak of the Sr~{\sc i} 4607~Å line at different limb distances, and to study the correlation with the continuum intensity. Methods.Using the Zurich IMaging POLarimeter (ZIMPOL) system mounted at the GREGOR telescope and spectrograph in Tenerife, Spain, we carried out spectro-polarimetric measurements to obtain the four Stokes parameters in the Sr~{\sc i} line at different limb distances, from $μ=0.2$ to $μ=0.8$, on the solar disk. Results.Spatial variations of the scattering polarization signal in the Sr~{\sc i} 4607~Å line, with a spatial resolution of about 0.66", are clearly observed at every $μ$. The spatial scale of these variations is comparable to the granular size. A statistical analysis reveals that the linear scattering polarization amplitude in this Sr~{\sc i} spectral line is positively correlated with the intensity in the continuum, corresponding to the granules, at every $μ$.
