摘要:

在2009年太阳活动异常低的深极小期期间,{ \em CORONAS-PHOTON}\/飞行任务上的SphinX X射线分光光度计观测到空间积分日冕的1~--~ 15 keV X射线光谱。它对能量$> 1.2$ \,keV的灵敏度高于当时轨道上的任何其他太阳X射线光谱仪,包括GOES上的探测器。使用比以前使用的改进得多的仪器数据,我们分析了576个间隔的SphinX光谱,其中没有可辨别的活动(NA),40个间隔时,有X射线增亮(B),和16个间隔时,有微耀斑的峰值发射小于GOES A1(F)。从太阳光谱中减去了在航天器夜间34小时内形成的仪器背景光谱,其中包括电子噪声和粒子辐射。理论光谱用于推导NA、B和F区间(分别为1.69、1.81和1.86 μ M)的等温假设温度。相同光谱的差分发射测量(DEM)分析显示,在每种情况下都有一个“较冷”的成分(log\,$T = 6.2$或$T \approx 1.6$ \,MK),但第二个较热的成分具有定义不太明确的峰值温度,从$\approx 2.5$到$\approx 3.5$ \,MK(log\,$T = 6.4$和6.55),发射测量值比较冷成分小两到三个数量级。这些结果与EVE仪器在太阳活动极小期后获得的结果相似。一个非常热的成分,可能表明纳米耀斑加热的日冕的签名是不明显的SphinX数据。

英文摘要:

The SphinX X-ray spectrophotometer on the {\em CORONAS-PHOTON}\/ mission observed the 1~--~15\,keV X-ray spectrum of the spatially integrated solar corona during the deep minimum of 2009, when solar activity was exceptionally low. Its sensitivity for energies $> 1.2$\,keV was higher than that of any other solar X-ray spectrometer in orbit at the time, including the detectors on GOES. Using much improved instrumental data than was used previously, we analyzed SphinX spectra in 576 intervals for which there was no discernible activity (NA), 40 intervals when there were X-ray brightenings (B), and sixteen intervals when there were micro-flares with peak emission less than GOES A1 (F). An instrumental background spectrum, formed over 34 hours of spacecraft night-time periods and including electronic noise and particle radiation, was subtracted from the solar spectra. Theoretical spectra were used to deduce temperatures on an isothermal assumption for the NA, B, and F intervals (1.69, 1.81, and 1.86\,MK respectively). Differential emission measure (DEM) analysis for the same spectra revealed a "cooler" component (log\,$T = 6.2$ or $T \approx 1.6$\,MK) in each case, but with a second hotter component having a less well-defined peak temperature varying from $\approx 2.5$ to $\approx 3.5$\,MK (log\,$T = 6.4$ and 6.55) and an emission measure between two and three orders smaller than that of the cooler component. These results are similar to those obtained at times just after solar minimum with the EVE instrument. A very hot component that might indicate the signature of nano-flare heating of the corona is not evident in SphinX data.
