太阳耀斑期间磁自由能中发现的扭转Alfvénic振荡

Torsional Alfvénic Oscillations Discovered in the Magnetic Free Energy During Solar Flares

Markus J. Aschwanden, Tongjiang Wang

摘要:

我们报道了在太阳耀斑中发现的扭转阿尔夫文振荡,它调制了磁自由能$E_f(t)$的时间演化,而磁势能$E_p(t)$是不相关的,非势能随$E_{np}(t) = E_p + E_f(t)$变化。扭转振荡的平均观测时间周期为$P_{obs}=15.1 \pm 3.9$ min,平均场线长度为$L=135\pm35$ Mm,平均相速度为$v_{phase} =315 \pm 120$ km s $^{-1}$,我们将其解释为耀斑环中电子密度增强的扭转阿尔文波。大多数的扭转振荡被发现是衰减少,但表现出积极或消极的趋势,在自由能的演变,表明新出现的通量(如果是积极的),磁抵消,或耀斑能量耗散(如果是消极的)。自由能的时间演化计算在这项研究中与{ \sl垂直电流近似(版本4)非线性无力场(VCA 4-NLFFF)}代码,它结合了自动检测的日冕环的解决方案,并绕过非力自由光球边界条件,与传统的NLFFF代码。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of torsional Alfvénic oscillations in solar flares, which modulate the time evolution of the magnetic free energy $E_f(t)$, while the magnetic potential energy $E_p(t)$ is uncorrelated, and the nonpotential energy varies as $E_{np}(t) = E_p + E_f(t)$. The mean observed time period of the torsional oscillations is $P_{obs}=15.1 \pm 3.9$ min, the mean field line length is $L=135\pm35$ Mm, and the mean phase speed is $v_{phase} =315 \pm 120$ km s$^{-1}$, which we interpret as torsional Alfvénic waves in flare loops with enhanced electron densities. Most of the torsional oscillations are found to be decay-less, but exhibit a positive or negative trend in the evolution of the free energy, indicating new emerging flux (if positive), magnetic cancellation, or flare energy dissipation (if negative). The time evolution of the free energy has been calculated in this study with the {\sl Vertical-Current Approximation (Version 4) Nonlinear Force-Free Field (VCA4-NLFFF)} code, which incorporates automatically detected coronal loops in the solution and bypasses the non-forcefreeness of the photospheric boundary condition, in contrast to traditional NLFFF codes.
