摘要:

背景:2020年5月至6月,帕克太阳探测器/ISoIS仪器套件在距离太阳0. 35 AU处观测到六次太阳高能离子事件。从标准的速度色散分析,表观离子路径长度是0.625 AU在每个事件的开始。目的:我们开发了一种形式主义的路径长度估计的随机行走磁场线,解释为什么在事件发生的明显的离子路径长度大大超过这些事件的径向距离从太阳。方法:我们开发了随机行走磁场线的路径长度的平均增加的分析估计,相对于未扰动的平均场。通过对太阳风湍流模型中的场线和粒子轨迹的蒙特卡罗模拟,验证了该形式,并研究了粒子导引中心和全轨道轨迹的路径长度。在全球太阳风模型中实现的形式主义,并与离子路径长度推断ISoIS观测结果进行比较。结果:得到了场线路径长度随大尺度场路径长度变化的简单估计和严格的理论公式。从模拟的场线和粒子轨迹,我们发现,粒子引导中心可以有比平均场线路径长度稍短的路径长度,而粒子轨道可以有相当大的路径长度,由于他们的陀螺运动与非零的有效俯仰角。结论:在这些太阳高能离子事件的长的视程长度可以解释为1)一个磁场线路径长度的增加,由于场线随机游走,和2)粒子传输的引导中心与非零的有效俯仰角。我们的形式主义计算的磁场线的路径长度,占湍流波动,可能是有用的应用到太阳粒子运输一般。

英文摘要:

Context:In 2020 May-June, six solar energetic ion events were observed by the Parker Solar Probe/ISoIS instrument suite at 0.35 AU from the Sun. From standard velocity-dispersion analysis, the apparent ion path length is 0.625 AU at the onset of each event. Aims:We develop a formalism for estimating the path length of random-walking magnetic field lines, to explain why the apparent ion pathlength at event onset greatly exceeds the radial distance from the Sun for these events. Methods:We developed analytical estimates of the average increase in pathlength of random-walking magnetic field lines, relative to the unperturbed mean field. Monte Carlo simulations of fieldline and particle trajectories in a model of solar wind turbulence are used to validate the formalism and study the path lengths of particle guiding-center and full-orbital trajectories. The formalism is implemented in a global solar wind model, and results are compared with ion pathlengths inferred from ISoIS observations. Results:Both a simple estimate and a rigorous theoretical formulation are obtained for fieldlines' pathlength increase as a function of pathlength along the large-scale field. From simulated fieldline and particle trajectories, we find that particle guiding centers can have pathlengths somewhat shorter than the average fieldline pathlength, while particle orbits can have substantially larger pathlengths due to their gyromotion with a nonzero effective pitch angle. Conclusions:The long apparent path length during these solar energetic ion events can be explained by 1) a magnetic field line path length increase due to the field line random walk, and 2) particle transport about the guiding center with a nonzero effective pitch angle. Our formalism for computing the magnetic field line path length, accounting for turbulent fluctuations, may be useful for application to solar particle transport in general.
