摘要:

太阳低层大气电磁能通量是描述太阳大气能量平衡的重要工具。目前对太阳大气能流的研究主要集中在通过光球层的垂直电磁通量上,忽略了其他方向的坡印亭通量及其对局部加热的可能贡献。基于一个现实的彩虹模拟一个安静的太阳(冕洞)大气,我们发现,在光球中的总电磁能通量发生主要平行于光球,集中在小区域沿晶间通道。因此,有可能仅基于可以从观测中迅速检索的变量,即小尺度磁性元件的水平速度及其纵向磁通量,来定义该能通量的代理。我们的代理准确地描述了模拟中的实际坡印廷通量分布,电磁能通量达到$10^{10}$ erg\,cm $^{-2}$ \,s $^{-1}$。为了验证我们的研究结果,我们将分析扩展到日出/IMaX数据。首先,我们表明,彩虹逼真地描述光球安静的太阳区域,模拟提出了类似的分布的视线磁通量和水平速度场。其次,我们发现非常相似的水平坡印亭通量代理分布的模拟光球和观测数据。我们的研究结果还表明,水平坡印亭通量的观测是相当大的垂直电磁通量从以前的观测估计。因此,我们的分析证实,在光球的电磁能流主要是水平的,是最强烈的局部地区沿晶间通道。

英文摘要:

The electromagnetic energy flux in the lower atmosphere of the Sun is a key tool to describe the energy balance of the solar atmosphere. Current investigations on energy flux in the solar atmosphere focus primarily on the vertical electromagnetic flux through the photosphere, ignoring the Poynting flux in other directions and its possible contributions to local heating. Based on a realistic Bifrost simulation of a quiet-Sun (coronal hole) atmosphere, we find that the total electromagnetic energy flux in the photosphere occurs mainly parallel to the photosphere, concentrating in small regions along intergranular lanes. Thereby, it was possible to define a proxy for this energy flux based on only variables that can be promptly retrieved from observations, namely, horizontal velocities of the small-scale magnetic elements and their longitudinal magnetic flux. Our proxy accurately describes the actual Poynting flux distribution in the simulations, with the electromagnetic energy flux reaching $10^{10}$ erg\,cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$. To validate our findings, we extended the analysis to SUNRISE/IMaX data. First, we show that Bifrost realistically describes photospheric quiet-Sun regions, as the simulation presents similar distributions for line-of-sight magnetic flux and horizontal velocity field. Second, we found very similar horizontal Poynting flux proxy distributions for the simulated photosphere and observational data. Our results also indicate that the horizontal Poynting flux in the observations is considerably larger than the vertical electromagnetic flux from previous observational estimates. Therefore, our analysis confirms that the electromagnetic energy flux in the photosphere is mainly horizontal and is most intense in localized regions along intergranular lanes.
