在日冕加热背景下过渡区对AIA观测的贡献

Transition region contribution to AIA observations in the context of coronal heating

Samuel J. Schonfeld, James A. Klimchuk

摘要:

本文研究了太阳动力学天文台大气成像组件(AIA)观测到的日冕环过渡区和日冕的相对贡献。使用EBTEL(基于焓的环路热演化)流体动力学模拟,我们对具有多个长度和能量通量的环路进行建模,这些环路由从具有不同斜率和事件之间最小延迟的幂律分布中提取的事件随机加热,以研究这些参数中的每一个如何影响可观察的环路属性。我们产生AIA强度从电晕和过渡区的每个实现。用这些不同参数生成的模型内和模型之间的变化说明了窄带成像对冠状加热细节的敏感性。然后,我们分析了过渡区和日冕发射从一些观察到的活动区域,并发现广泛的协议与模型中的趋势。在模型和观测中,过渡区的亮度都很显著,通常比所有六个“日冕”AIA通道的日冕亮度都要大。我们还确定了一个反比关系,符合加热理论,之间的斜率的差异发射测量(DEM)冷却的峰值温度和观测到的比率的日冕过渡区强度。这些结果突出了窄带观测的使用和在日冕加热研究中适当考虑过渡区的重要性。

英文摘要:

We investigate the relative contributions from the transition region and corona of coronal loops observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Using EBTEL (Enthalpy-Based Thermal Evolution of Loops) hydrodynamic simulations, we model loops with multiple lengths and energy fluxes heated randomly by events drawn from power-law distributions with different slopes and minimum delays between events to investigate how each of these parameters influences observable loop properties. We generate AIA intensities from the corona and transition region for each realization. The variations within and between models generated with these different parameters illustrate the sensitivity of narrowband imaging to the details of coronal heating. We then analyze the transition region and coronal emission from a number of observed active regions and find broad agreement with the trends in the models. In both models and observations, the transition region brightness is significant, often greater than the coronal brightness in all six "coronal" AIA channels. We also identify an inverse relationship, consistent with heating theories, between the slope of the differential emission measure (DEM) coolward of the peak temperature and the observed ratio of coronal to transition region intensity. These results highlight the use of narrowband observations and the importance of properly considering the transition region in investigations of coronal heating.
