太阳耀斑中的准周期粒子加速

Quasi-Periodic Particle Acceleration in a Solar Flare

摘要:

太阳耀斑电磁辐射的一个共同特征是存在随时间变化的强度脉动。被称为准周期性脉动(QPP),这些变化的流量似乎包括周期性成分和特征的时间尺度。在这里,我们分析了一个GOES M3.7级耀斑表现出明显的QPP在一个宽波段的波长使用成像和时间序列分析。我们确定QPPs的时间序列的X射线,低频无线电和EUV波长的小波分析,并定位的区域的耀斑网站从QPPs起源通过X射线和EUV成像。发现171埃、1600埃、软X射线(SXR)和硬X射线(HXR)光变曲线内的脉动产生相似的周期,分别为$\sim$ 122 s、$\sim$ 131 s、$\sim$ 123 s和$\sim$ 137 s,表明有共同的祖先。低频无线电发射在2.5兆赫包含一个较长的周期$\sim$ 231秒。成像分析表明,X射线和EUV脉动的位置源自HXR足点,该足点与附近的开放磁场线系统相关联。我们的研究结果表明,间歇性的粒子加速,可能是由于“突发”的磁重联,是负责的QPP。向色球层加速的沉淀电子产生X射线和极紫外脉冲,而逃逸的电子则以III型射电暴的形式产生低频射电脉冲。调制的重联过程中,在情节粒子加速,解释了这些QPP的存在,在整个空间范围内的耀斑发射。

英文摘要:

A common feature of electromagnetic emission from solar flares is the presence of intensity pulsations that vary as a function of time. Known as quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs), these variations in flux appear to include periodic components and characteristic time-scales. Here, we analyse a GOES M3.7 class flare exhibiting pronounced QPPs across a broad band of wavelengths using imaging and time-series analysis. We identify QPPs in the timeseries of X-ray, low frequency radio and EUV wavelengths using wavelet analysis, and localise the region of the flare site from which the QPPs originate via X-ray and EUV imaging. It was found that the pulsations within the 171 Ȧ, 1600 Ȧ, soft X-ray (SXR), and hard X-ray (HXR) light curves yielded similar periods of $\sim$122 s, $\sim$131s, $\sim$123 s, and $\sim$137 s, respectively, indicating a common progenitor. The low frequency radio emission at 2.5 MHz contained a longer period of $\sim$231 s. Imaging analysis indicates that the location of the X-ray and EUV pulsations originates from a HXR footpoint linked to a system of nearby open magnetic field lines. Our results suggest that intermittent particle acceleration, likely due to 'bursty' magnetic reconnection, is responsible for the QPPs. The precipitating electrons accelerated towards the chromosphere produce the X-ray and EUV pulsations, while the escaping electrons result in low frequency radio pulses in the form of type III radio bursts. The modulation of the reconnection process, resulting in episodic particle acceleration, explains the presence of these QPPs across the entire spatial range of flaring emission.
