摘要:
我们在Petrovay和Moreno-Insertis(1997)提出的湍流侵蚀模型框架下,探讨了慢衰减单极太阳黑子群的性质和行为。该模型的基本概念是,强磁场会抑制磁通量管内部的湍流扩散率。因此,外部湍流等离子体主要从磁通量管的外边界剥离磁特征。磁通量管的半径以恒定速率向内推进。该模型预测较老的太阳黑子衰减较慢,这似乎非常有希望解释长寿单极太阳黑子群的缓慢衰减。通过分析与太阳黑子相关的磁结构,我们确实发现磁结构半径以恒定速率逐渐减小,这暗示了该模型的有效性。然而,在某些情况下,推导出的半径减小速度过低:我们的计算为这类太阳黑子的寿命和最大面积提供了不合理的高估。我们讨论了可能影响这类特殊太阳黑子衰减率的其他机制。
英文摘要:
We explore properties and behavior of slow-decaying unipolar sunspot groups in the framework of the turbulent erosion model suggested by Petrovay and Moreno-Insertis (1997). The basic concept of the model is the suppression of a turbulent diffusivity inside a magnetic flux tube by strong magnetic fields. As a result, the outer turbulent plasma detaches magnetic features primarily from the external border of a magnetic flux tube. The radius of the tube exhibits inward progression at a constant rate. The model predicts older sunspots to decay slower and it seems to be very promising to explain the slow decay of long-living unipolar sunspot groups. By analyzing the magnetic structure associated with a sunspot, we did reveal a gradual decrease of the magnetic structure radius at a constant rate implying the validity of the model. However, in some cases the derived velocity of the radius decrease was too low: our calculations provided implausibly high estimations for the lifetime and maximal area of such sunspots. We discuss possible additional mechanisms affecting the decay rate of such peculiar sunspots.
