AI总结:

本研究通过分析28个活跃区域的数据,发现光球磁通量与日冕谱线展宽存在中等相关性,表明光球磁场通过注入坡印廷流加热日冕,但受限于现有仪器无法区分MHD波加热与磁场编织加热。

摘要:

磁流体动力学(MHD)波和/或磁场线的编织被认为是加热太阳日冕的主要机制,这两种机制均由太阳光球磁层场驱动。最近的建模工作表明,这些加热机制应能在日冕谱线的超额展宽(非热速度)中被观测到,并且更大的光球磁通量会产生更多的加热,但磁通量与谱线展宽之间的直接联系却难以建立。我们结合SDO/HMI对光球磁场的测量和Hinode/EIS对日冕等离子体(log T~6.2)的非热速度测量,分析了28个活跃区域的数据,发现在一个平静活跃区域中,两者之间存在中等程度的相关性,这与光球场将向上的坡印廷流注入日冕并导致日冕加热一致。我们发现,缺乏与日冕组成显著相关的强相关性,使得目前的仪器难以通过这些诊断区分MHD波加热和磁场编织加热。

英文摘要:

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and/or the braiding of magnetic field lines are largely thought to be responsible for heating the solar corona, both being mechanisms which are driven by the Sun's photospheric magnetic field. Recent modelling work leads us to expect that such heating mechanisms would be seen in the excess broadening (non-thermal velocity) of coronal spectral emission lines and that larger magnitudes of photospheric magnetic flux would generate more heating, but a direct connection between magnetic flux and spectral line broadening has been difficult to establish. We combine measurements of the photospheric magnetic field from SDO/HMI and non-thermal velocity in log T~6.2 coronal plasma from Hinode/EIS for 28 active regions and find a moderate correlation between the two exists in quiescent active regions, consistent with the photospheric field injecting upward Poynting flux into the solar corona and causing coronal heating. We find that no strong correlation with coronal composition makes it difficult to distinguish between MHD wave heating and magnetic field braiding heating using these diagnostics with current instrumentation.
