太阳大气能量学

Energetics of the solar atmosphere

Abhishek Rajhans

摘要:

日冕在光球层上的过高温度构成了一个挑战。多个高能事件有助于维持日冕在如此高的温度。不同事件释放的能量可以在几个数量级上变化。像耀斑和日冕物质抛射(CME)这样具有地磁重要性的大能量事件对日冕的全球能量学贡献很小。因此,需要非常详细地研究具有几个(9-10)数量级的较低能量的事件,其发生频率要高得多。观测表明,这些具有不同能量的脉冲事件遵循幂律分布,表明一个共同的潜在机制。我们进行观测动机的日冕环(磁通量管)的建模,以了解这些小的瞬态事件的能量和它们的相似性脉冲事件,如耀斑。本论文采用基于日冕环0维流体动力学描述的EBTEL程序。这种方法是适当的快速估计系统的能量在很宽的参数范围。然后,我们讨论了EBTEL的改进,使其适用于更广泛的参数范围。其次,使用改进的EBTEL,探索使用单一的幂律分布模拟不同能量的脉冲事件的可能性。从多热等离子体和流体动力学模型的各个组成部分所观察到的排放量之间的比较表明加热是脉冲的。由于脉冲事件引起的场向流是我们模拟日冕循环的重要组成部分,我们讨论了过渡区加热的背景下,这种流动的影响。

英文摘要:

The excess temperature of the solar corona over the photosphere poses a challenge. Multiple energetic events contribute to maintaining the corona at such high temperatures. The energy released in different events can vary across several orders of magnitude. Large energy events of geomagnetic importance like flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) contribute little to the global energetics of the solar corona. Therefore, events with several (9-10) orders of magnitudes of lower energy, with much higher frequency of occurrence, need to be studied in great detail. Observations suggest that these impulsive events with different energies follow a power-law distribution, indicating a common underlying mechanism. We perform observation-motivated modeling of coronal loops (magnetic flux tubes) to understand the energetics of these small transient events and their similarity with impulsive events like flares. This thesis uses the EBTEL code based on the 0D hydrodynamical description of coronal loops. This approach is appropriate for getting quick estimates of the energetics of the system over a wide range of parameters. We then discuss the improvement of EBTEL to make it suitable over a broader range of parameters. This is followed by using improved EBTEL to explore the possibility of simulating impulsive events of different energy generated using a single power-law distribution. Comparison between observed emissions from various components of multi-thermal plasma and hydrodynamical models suggest the heating to be impulsive. Since field-aligned flows induced due to impulsive events are a crucial part of our modeling of coronal loops, we discuss the implications of such flows in the context of transition region heating.
