白光图像和磁图的活动区夹角:磁舌的作用

Active-Region Tilt Angles from White-Light Images and Magnetograms: The Role of Magnetic Tongues

摘要:

在活跃区域(AR)极性中存在伸长,称为磁舌,在它们的出现阶段大多是可见的。AR倾斜已经使用长期白光(WL)数据库进行了彻底的测量,有时还结合了磁场信息。由于磁舌WL倾斜测量的影响还没有考虑到之前,我们的目标是调查他们的作用,倾斜角值,并将它们与来自LOS磁图。我们应用四种方法来计算一般双极AR的倾斜角:一种是将k均值算法应用于WL数据,第二种方法包括WL数据的极性的磁场符号,第三种方法使用每个极性的磁通量加权中心。以任何这些方式计算的倾斜值都受到磁舌存在的影响。因此,我们应用新开发的核心场拟合估计(CoFFE)的方法来分离的磁通量的舌头从AR核心。我们比较了四个计算的倾斜角值,以及这些与长期WL数据库中报告的值。对于具有低磁通量舌的AR,不同方法报告一致的倾斜角值。但是对于具有高通量舌的AR,所有方法之间存在明显的差异,表明磁舌对WL和磁性数据的影响不同。然而,一般来说,CoFFE实现了对主双极倾斜的更好估计,因为它消除了舌状物的影响以及当次双极出现在主双极磁极性之间时的次双极的出现。

英文摘要:

The presence of elongations in active region (AR) polarities, called magnetic tongues, are mostly visible during their emergence phase. AR tilts have been measured thoroughly using long-term white-light (WL) databases, sometimes combined with magnetic field information. Since the influence of magnetic tongues on WL tilt measurements has not been taken into account before, we aim to investigate their role in tilt-angle values and to compare them with those derived from LOS magnetograms. We apply four methods to compute the tilt angle of generally bipolar ARs: one applies the k-means algorithm to WL data, a second one includes the magnetic field sign of the polarities to WL data, and a third one uses the magnetic flux-weighted center of each polarity. The tilt values computed in any of these ways are affected by the presence of magnetic tongues. Therefore, we apply the newly developed Core Field Fit Estimator (CoFFE) method to separate the magnetic flux in the tongues from that in the AR core. We compare the four computed tilt-angle values, as well as these with the ones reported in long-term WL databases. For ARs with low magnetic flux tongues the different methods report consistent tilt-angle values. But for ARs with high flux tongues there are noticeable discrepancies between all methods indicating that magnetic tongues affect differently WL and magnetic data. However, in general, CoFFE achieves a better estimation of the main bipole tilt because it removes both the effect of tongues as well as the emergence of secondary bipoles when it occurs in between the main bipole magnetic polarities.
