在极紫外和白光太阳图像中跟踪非径向流出

Tracking Non-Radial Outflows in Extreme Ultraviolet and White Light Solar Images

Nathalia Alzate, Huw Morgan, Simone Di Matteo

摘要:

了解日冕需要了解其各个层的动态以及随后与日光层的连通性。这需要了解流出的性质和通过中间日冕(~1.5-6.0 Rs)的物理转变。虽然这一区域仍然无法进行现场测量,但可以进行遥感观测,但由于视线效应和靠近太阳的流出结构的非径向运动(<3.0 Rs),其解释可能存在争议。在这项工作中,我们描述了一种方法,以减轻这些挑战,通过使用先进的图像处理技术生成非径向高度-时间曲线的流出。在STEREO/SECCHI太阳图像中,使用基于亮度阈值和分段多项式函数拟合的两种不同方法,确定了2008年太阳活动极小期期间一个大型赤道流光的南北边界。为了解决视线问题,我们使用了基于SECCHI/COR 2图像的日冕电子密度3D分布的断层重建。对拖缆边界位置角时间序列的谱分析揭示了其在36-48小时和10.5-14.6小时某些高度的振荡性质。将南北流光边界之间的距离在每个高度上等分,我们得到了非径向高度-时间路径,由此我们生成了日冕/太阳风等离子体流出的非径向剖面。我们跟踪了从EUVI的太阳不间断地流出,通过COR 1进入COR 2。最后,我们讨论了CME和两个小尺度特征的非径向天平面速度的初步结果。

英文摘要:

Understanding the solar corona requires knowledge of its dynamics through its various layers and subsequent connectivity to the heliosphere. This requires understanding the nature of the outflows and the physical transitions through the middle corona (~1.5-6.0 Rs). While this region is still inaccessible to in situ measurements, remote sensing observations are available, but their interpretation can be controversial due to line-of-sight effects and the non-radial motion of outflowing structures close to the Sun (<3.0 Rs). In this work, we describe a method to mitigate these challenges by generating non-radial Height-Time profiles of outflows by using advanced image processing techniques. The North and South boundaries of a large equatorial streamer during the 2008 solar minimum were identified in STEREO/SECCHI solar images, using two different methodologies based on thresholds of brightness and piece-wise polynomial function fitting. To address line-of-sight issues, we used tomographic reconstruction of the 3D distribution of the coronal electron density based on SECCHI/COR2 images. Spectral analysis of the time series of the position angle of the streamer boundary revealed its oscillatory nature at some heights at 36-48 hours and 10.5-14.6 hours. Dividing the distance between the North and South streamer boundaries in equal parts at each height, we obtained non-radial Height-Time paths from which we generated non-radial profiles of corona/solar wind plasma outflow. We tracked outflows as they moved uninterruptedly from the Sun in EUVI, through COR1 and into COR2. Finally, we discuss preliminary results of non-radial plane-of-sky velocities for a CME and two small-scale features.
