摘要:

中红外波段在太阳耀斑的研究中大多未被探索。直到最近,新的中红外耀斑观测才开始为太阳色球层的响应和演变打开一扇新的窗口。这些新的观测主要由分别在阿根廷和巴西运行的AR 30 T和BR 30 T望远镜进行。我们介绍了利用地面望远镜AR 30 T在30 THz(10 $\ μ$ m)观测到的GOES C2. 0级太阳耀斑太阳耀斑SOL 2019 -05- 15 T19:24的分析。我们的目标是描述耀斑大气的演化和中红外辐射背景下的能量传输机制。我们进行了多波长分析的事件补充中红外数据与不同的地面和空间为基础的数据,从太阳动力学天文台(SDO),H- $α$太阳望远镜阿根廷(HASTA),和扩大欧文斯谷太阳能电池阵列(EOVSA)。我们的研究包括耀斑区的磁场演化和耀斑发展的分析。来自AR 30 T的中红外图像显示了两个明亮而紧凑的耀斑源,它们与SDO在紫外(UV)中观察到的耀斑核在空间上相关。我们确认,中红外和紫外线通量之间的时间关联先前报道的强耀斑也观察到这个小耀斑。EOVSA微波数据显示耀斑光谱与热自由-自由发射一致,这使我们忽略了大量非热电子的存在。因此,我们认为热传导是能量传输的主要机制。我们对热传导能量和总辐射能量的估计落在同一数量级内,加强了我们的结论。

英文摘要:

The mid-infrared (mid-IR) range has been mostly unexplored for the investigation of solar flares. It is only recently that new mid-IR flare observations have begun opening a new window into the response and evolution of the solar chromosphere. These new observations have been mostly performed by the AR30T and BR30T telescopes that are operating in Argentina and Brazil, respectively. We present the analysis of SOL2019-05-15T19:24, a GOES class C2.0 solar flare observed at 30~THz (10$\ μ$m) by the ground-based telescope AR30T. Our aim is to characterize the evolution of the flaring atmosphere and the energy transport mechanism in the context of mid-IR emission. We performed a multi-wavelength analysis of the event by complementing the mid-IR data with diverse ground- and space-based data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), the H--$α$ Solar Telescope for Argentina (HASTA), and the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA). Our study includes the analysis of the magnetic field evolution of the flaring region and of the development of the flare. The mid-IR images from AR30T show two bright and compact flare sources that are spatially associated with the flare kernels observed in ultraviolet (UV) by SDO. We confirm that the temporal association between mid-IR and UV fluxes previously reported for strong flares is also observed for this small flare. The EOVSA microwave data revealed flare spectra consistent with thermal free-free emission, which lead us to dismiss the existence of a significant number of non-thermal electrons. We thus consider thermal conduction as the primary mechanism responsible for energy transport. Our estimates for the thermal conduction energy and total radiated energy fall within the same order of magnitude, reinforcing our conclusions.
