摘要:

$Interface~Region~Imaging~Spectrometer$($IRIS$)的高分辨率观测揭示了一种特殊类型的小型太阳喷流的存在,这些喷流从悬挂在日冕中的龙卷风状日珥中单独或成群地出现。在这项研究中,我们对龙卷风事件中选定的43架小型喷气式飞机进行了详细的统计分析。结果表明,微型喷流的长度一般为1.0-6.0 μ m,宽度一般为0.2-1.0 μ m,寿命一般为10-50 s,速度一般为100-350 km/s $^{-1}$,加速度一般为3-20 km/s $^{-2}$。基于光谱诊断和EM-Loci分析,这些喷流似乎是多热小尺度等离子体喷射,估计平均电子密度为$\sim$ 2.4 $\times$ 10 $^{10}$ cm $^{-3}$,近似平均温度为$\sim$ 2.6 $\times$ 10 $^{5}$ K。它们的平均动能密度、热能密度和耗散磁场强度分别为9 erg cm $\sim$、3 erg cm $^{-3}$和16 G。小型喷流的加速、某些小型喷流足点处的紫外和极紫外增亮以及主日珥的激活表明,龙卷风小型喷流可能是由(a)日珥场与包络场或背景场之间或(b)日珥内扭曲或编织的通量管之间的细尺度外部或内部磁重联产生的。这些观测提供了对日冕中这种重连事件的几何形状的深入了解,并对日珥磁场的结构和不稳定性产生了影响,而这种不稳定性是导致日冕物质抛射和日冕物质抛射的原因。

英文摘要:

High-resolution observations from the $Interface~Region~Imaging~Spectrometer$ ($IRIS$) reveal the existence of a particular type of small solar jets, which arose singly or in clusters from a tornado-like prominence suspended in the corona. In this study, we perform a detailed statistical analysis of 43 selected mini-jets in the tornado event. Our results show that the mini-jets typically have: (1) a projected length of 1.0-6.0 Mm, (2) a width of 0.2-1.0 Mm, (3) a lifetime of 10-50 s, (4) a velocity of 100-350 km s$^{-1}$, and (5) an acceleration of 3-20 km s$^{-2}$. Based on spectral diagnostics and EM-Loci analysis, these jets seem to be multi-thermal small-scale plasma ejections with an estimated average electron density of $\sim$2.4 $\times$ 10$^{10}$ cm$^{-3}$ and an approximate mean temperature of $\sim$2.6 $\times$ 10$^{5}$ K. Their mean kinetic energy density, thermal energy density and dissipated magnetic field strength are roughly estimated to be $\sim$9 erg cm$^{-3}$, 3 erg cm$^{-3}$, and 16 G, respectively. The accelerations of the mini-jets, the UV and EUV brightenings at the footpoints of some mini-jets, and the activation of the host prominence suggest that the tornado mini-jets are probably created by fine-scale external or internal magnetic reconnections (a) between the prominence field and the enveloping or background field or (b) between twisted or braided flux tubes within the prominence. The observations provide insight into the geometry of such reconnection events in the corona and have implications for the structure of the prominence magnetic field and the instability that is responsible for the eruption of prominences and coronal mass ejections.
