摘要:

帕克太阳探测器(PSP)正在提供一个前所未有的太阳日冕的视图,因为它逐渐接近太阳大气层与太阳的每一个遭遇。每一组观测都提供了一个独特的机会来测试和约束日华和内日光层的全球模型,并反过来使用模型结果来提供解释这些观测的全球背景。在这项研究中,我们开发了一套全球磁流体动力学(MHD)模型的解决方案,不同程度的复杂性PSP的前四次遭遇,并比较结果与现场测量PSP,立体声A,和地球上的航天器,评估模型的执行更好或更差的目标。所有的模型主要是由观测到的光球磁场驱动的,使用的数据来自太阳动力学天文台的日震和磁成像仪(HMI)仪器。总体而言,我们发现,有很大的差异模型的结果,无论是在这些时间段内的日光层的大尺度结构,以及在推断的时间序列在各种航天器。“热力学”模型,它代表了“中间地带”,在模型的复杂性,似乎再现所有四个遭遇的观察最接近。我们的结果也与早期的一项研究相矛盾,该研究暗示开放通量问题可能会在靠近太阳的地方消失。相反,我们的研究结果表明,即使在26.9 Rs时,这种“失踪”的太阳通量仍然失踪,因此它不能用行星际过程来解释。最后,模型的结果也被用来提供一个全球范围内解释本地化的现场测量。

英文摘要:

Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is providing an unprecedented view of the Sun's corona as it progressively dips closer into the solar atmosphere with each solar encounter. Each set of observations provides a unique opportunity to test and constrain global models of the solar corona and inner heliosphere and, in turn, use the model results to provide a global context for interpreting such observations. In this study, we develop a set of global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model solutions of varying degrees of sophistication for PSP's first four encounters and compare the results with in situ measurements from PSP, Stereo-A, and Earth-based spacecraft, with the objective of assessing which models perform better or worse. All models were primarily driven by the observed photospheric magnetic field using data from Solar Dynamics Observatory's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument. Overall, we find that there are substantial differences between the model results, both in terms of the large-scale structure of the inner heliosphere during these time periods, as well as in the inferred time-series at various spacecraft. The "thermodynamic" model, which represents the "middle ground", in terms of model complexity, appears to reproduce the observations most closely for all four encounters. Our results also contradict an earlier study that had hinted that the open flux problem may disappear nearer the Sun. Instead, our results suggest that this "missing" solar flux is still missing even at 26.9 Rs, and thus it cannot be explained by interplanetary processes. Finally, the model results were also used to provide a global context for interpreting the localized in situ measurements.
