摘要:

太阳轨道飞行器任务的一个关键目标是将包裹航天器的太阳风的元素丰度测量与其太阳源的EUV光谱观测联系起来,但这并不是一件容易的事情。以前的飞行任务的观测揭示了日冕中元素丰度的时空变化的高度复杂的情况。我们已经使用了来自Hinode和太阳轨道器的协调观测,尝试使用SPICE(日冕环境光谱成像)仪器进行新的丰度测量,并将其与EIS(EUV成像光谱仪)的标准分析进行基准测试。我们使用了2020年11月10日EIS从面向地球的视角拍摄的AR 12781中的几个太阳特征的观测结果,以及一周后在2020年11月17日获得的SPICE数据;当时AR已经旋转到太阳轨道器的视野中。我们确定了一系列的谱线,是有用的,用于确定过渡区和低日冕温度结构与SPICE,并证明SPICE测量能够区分光球和日冕Mg/Ne丰度。SPICE和EIS的结合能够建立活动区边缘的扇环/外流区的大气成分结构。我们还讨论了用SPICE解决元素分馏程度的问题,这是更具挑战性的,没有进一步的温度结构的限制,并评论什么可以告诉我们关于太阳风和太阳高能粒子的来源。

英文摘要:

A key goal of the Solar Orbiter mission is to connect elemental abundance measurements of the solar wind enveloping the spacecraft with EUV spectroscopic observations of their solar sources, but this is not an easy exercise. Observations from previous missions have revealed a highly complex picture of spatial and temporal variations of elemental abundances in the solar corona. We have used coordinated observations from Hinode and Solar Orbiter to attempt new abundance measurements with the SPICE (Spectral Imaging of the Coronal Environment) instrument, and benchmark them against standard analyses from EIS (EUV Imaging Spectrometer). We use observations of several solar features in AR 12781 taken from an Earth-facing view by EIS on 2020 November 10, and SPICE data obtained one week later on 2020 November 17; when the AR had rotated into the Solar Orbiter field-of-view. We identify a range of spectral lines that are useful for determining the transition region and low coronal temperature structure with SPICE, and demonstrate that SPICE measurements are able to differentiate between photospheric and coronal Mg/Ne abundances. The combination of SPICE and EIS is able to establish the atmospheric composition structure of a fan loop/outflow area at the active region edge. We also discuss the problem of resolving the degree of elemental fractionation with SPICE, which is more challenging without further constraints on the temperature structure, and comment on what that can tell us about the sources of the solar wind and solar energetic particles.
