一个可能的太阳耀斑选择定则

A Possible Selection Rule for Flares Causing Sunquakes

Ruizhu Chen, Junwei Zhao

摘要:

日震是由太阳耀斑引发的日震能量增强,但并不是所有的耀斑都会产生日震。奇怪的是,为什么有些耀斑会引起地震,而有些则不会。本文提出一个假说来解释日震的不成比例的发生:在耀斑的脉冲阶段,当耀斑的脉冲作用在光球上时,通过冲击波、高能粒子从高层大气传递,或通过向下的洛伦兹力,如果耀斑足点的背景振荡恰好与来自上方的脉冲沿同一方向向下振荡,则日震倾向于发生。为了验证这一假设,我们选择了太阳活动24周的60个强耀斑,并在耀斑的脉冲阶段检查在日震源的背景振荡速度。由于多普勒速度观测在日震源通常被破坏的耀斑,我们重建的振荡速度在耀斑网站使用日震全息方法与观测为基础的格林函数。总共有24个耀斑被发现是日震活动,总共有41个日震。在3-5 mHz频段,31次地震中有25次在耀斑脉冲阶段出现净下行振荡速度;在5-7 mHz频段,38次地震中有33次出现净下行振荡速度。这些结果支持了这样的假设,即当耀斑以向下的背景振荡影响光球区域时,更可能发生日震。

英文摘要:

Sunquakes are helioseismic power enhancements initiated by solar flares, but not all flares generate sunquakes. It is curious why some flares cause sunquakes while others do not. Here we propose a hypothesis to explain the disproportionate occurrence of sunquakes: during a flare's impulsive phase when the flare's impulse acts upon the photosphere, delivered by shock waves, energetic particles from higher atmosphere, or by downward Lorentz Force, a sunquake tends to occur if the background oscillation at the flare footpoint happens to oscillate downward in the same direction with the impulse from above. To verify this hypothesis, we select 60 strong flares in Solar Cycle 24, and examine the background oscillatory velocity at the sunquake sources during the flares' impulsive phases. Since the Doppler velocity observations at sunquake sources are usually corrupted during the flares, we reconstruct the oscillatory velocity in the flare sites using helioseismic holography method with an observation-based Green's function. A total of 24 flares are found to be sunquake active, giving a total of 41 sunquakes. It is also found that in 3-5 mHz frequency band, 25 out of 31 sunquakes show net downward oscillatory velocities during the flares' impulsive phases, and in 5-7 mHz frequency band, 33 out of 38 sunquakes show net downward velocities. These results support the hypothesis that a sunquake more likely occurs when a flare impacts a photospheric area with a downward background oscillation.
