摘要:

我们使用极紫外线(EUV)和白光日冕物质抛射图像研究了在X-8.3耀斑之后形成的电流片中观察到的等离子体团的性质,然后在2017年9月10日快速CME爆发。主要目的是利用现有的地面和空间仪器了解等离子体团在不同时空尺度上的演变。我们在{ \it Atmospheric Imaging Assembly}(AIA)和白光日冕仪K-Cor和LASCO/C2的连续图像中识别了电流片中的等离子体团。我们发现,电流片伴随着几个等离子体团向上和向下运动。我们的分析表明,向下和向上移动的等离子体团的平均宽度分别为5.92微米和5.65微米,在AIA的视野(FOV)。然而,向上移动的等离子体团在K-Cor中具有64 μ m的平均宽度,其在LASCO/C2 FOV中发展为510 μ m的平均宽度。在连续的图像中跟踪等离子体团,我们观察到,向下和向上移动的等离子体团的平均速率分别为$\sim$ 272 km s $^{-1}$和$\sim$ 191 km s $^{-1}$在EUV通带。我们注意到,当等离子体团到达LASCO FOV时,它们变成了超阿尔夫维尼。此外,我们估计,零点的电流片在$\approx$ 1.15 R $_\odot$的双向等离子体团运动观察。我们研究了等离子体团的宽度分布,发现它服从幂指数为-1.12的幂律。与以前的研究不同,小规模和大规模的等离子体团的趋势没有差异。中性点附近的加速等离子体团的存在表明一个较长的扩散区域预测的MHD模型。

英文摘要:

We investigate the properties of plasmoids observed in the current sheet formed after an X-8.3 flare followed by a fast CME eruption on September 10, 2017 using Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) and white-light coronagraph images. The main aim is to understand the evolution of plasmoids at different spatio-temporal scales using existing ground- and space-based instruments. We identified the plasmoids in current sheet observed in the successive images of {\it Atmospheric Imaging Assembly} (AIA) and white-light coronagraphs, K-Cor and LASCO/C2. We found that the current sheet is accompanied by several plasmoids moving upwards and downwards. Our analysis showed that the downward and upward moving plasmoids have average width of 5.92 Mm and 5.65 Mm, respectively in the AIA field of view (FOV). However, upward moving plasmoids have average width of 64 Mm in the K-Cor which evolves to a mean width of 510 Mm in the LASCO/C2 FOV. Upon tracking the plasmoids in successive images, we observe that downward and upward moving plasmoids have average speeds of $\sim$272 km s$^{-1}$ and $\sim$191 km s$^{-1}$ respectively in the EUV passbands. We note that the plasmoids become super-Alfvénic when they reach at LASCO FOV. Furthermore, we estimate that the null-point of the current sheet at $\approx$ 1.15 R$_\odot$ where bidirectional plasmoid motion is observed. We study the width distribution of plasmoids formed and notice that it is governed by a power law with a power index of -1.12. Unlike previous studies there is no difference in trend for small and large scale plasmoids. The presence of accelerating plasmoids near the neutral point indicates a longer diffusion region as predicted by MHD models.
