This “rapporteur” report discusses the solar photosphere and low chromosphere in the context of chemical composition studies.
The highly dynamical nature of the photosphere does not seem to jeopardize precise determination of solar abundances in classical
fashion. It is still an open question how the highly dynamical nature of the low chromosphere contributes to first ionization
potential (FIP) fractionation.

Magneto-gravity Waves Trapped in the Lower Solar Corona 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Yu-Qing Lou 《Space Science Reviews》1999,87(1-2):261-264
The possibility of trapped magneto-gravity waves in the lower solar corona with an open magnetic field is discussed. Intensity
variations and/or Doppler shifts of relevant UV, EUV and x-ray spectral lines in the chromosphere, transition region and lower
corona may reveal the existence of such low-frequency modes (with periods longer than ∼ 1.5 hour). The spectrum may be either
discrete or continuous depending on the reflection property of the narrow transition region. These modes can be utilized to
probe the dynamics of the upper chromosphere, transition region and lower corona; they may also play an important role in
coronal heating.

In this review, the main models of ion-neutral frationation leading to an enhancement of the low FIP to high FIP abundance
ratio in the corona or in the solar wind, are presented. Models based on diffusion parallel to the magnetic field are discussed;
they are highly dependent on the boundary conditions. The magnetic field, that naturally separates ions from neutrals moving
perpendicular to the field lines direction, when the ion-neutral frequency becomes lower than the ion gyrofrequency, is expected
to play an active role in the ion-neutral separation. It is then suggested that ion-neutral fractionation is linked to the
formation of the solar chromosphere, i.e. in magnetic flux-tubes at a temperature between 4000 and 6000 K.

Three types of processes, occurring in the weakly ionized plasmas of the Earth’s ionosphere as well as in the solar chromosphere,
are being compared with each other. The main objective is to elaborate on the differences introduced primarily by the grossly
different magnitudes of the densities, both with respect to the neutral and, even more so, to the plasma constituents. This
leads to great differences in the momentum coupling from the plasma to the neutral component and becomes clear when considering
the direct electric current component transverse to the magnetic field, called “Pedersen current”; in the ionosphere, which
has no quasi-static counterpart in the chromosphere. The three classes of processes are related to the dynamical response
of the two plasmas to energy influx from below and from above. In the first two cases, the energy is carried by waves. The
third class concerns plasma erosion or ablation in the two respective regions in reaction to the injection of high Poynting
and/or energetic particle fluxes. 相似文献

Ionization-diffusion mechanisms to understand the first ionization potential (FIP) fractionation as observed in the solar
corona and the solar wind are reviewed. The enrichment of the low-FIP elements (<10 eV) compared to the high-FIP elements,
seen in e.g. slow and fast wind or polar plumes, is explained. The behaviour of the heavy noble gases becomes understandable.
The absolute fractionation, i.e. in relation to hydrogen, can be calculated and fits well to the measurements. The theoretical
velocity-dependence of the fractionation will with used to determine the velocities of the solar wind in the chromosphere.

Flare phenomena in the solar atmosphere and in the terrestrial magnetosphere exhibit many similarities. The mechanical energy of enhanced photospheric motion is converted and stored in the form of magnetic potential energy in sunspot fields, which is analogous to the case of the growth phase of magnetospheric substorms. The energy release during the explosive phase is initiated by a sudden collapse in the magnetic field topology and the X-type magnetic neutral point is created in the corona. Subsequent electrical discharge takes place in the form of an intense electrojet current flowing in the base of the chromosphere at the altitude where the Cowling conductivity is a maximum. It is suggested that the acceleration of particles by field-aligned electric fields and the Ohmic heating in the chromosphere result in major features of solar flares.This article also appears inSolar Physics

Solar magnetic field is believed to play a central role in solar activities and flares, filament eruptions as well as CMEs
are due to the magnetic field re-organization and the interaction between the plasma and the field. At present the reliable
magnetic field measurements are still confined to a few lower levels like in photosphere and chromosphere. Although IR technique
may be applied to observe the coronal field but the technique is not well-established yet. Radio techniques may be applied
to diagnose the coronal field but assumptions on radiation mechanisms and propagations are needed. Therefore extrapolation
from photospheric data upwards is still the primary method to reconstruction coronal field. Potential field has minimum energy
content and a force-free field can provide the required excess energy for energy release like flares, etc. Linear models have
undesirable properties and it is expected to consider non-constant-alpha force-free field model. As the recent result indicates
that the plasma beta is sandwich-ed distributed above the solar surface (Gary, 2001), care must be taken in modeling the coronal
field correctly. As the reconstruction of solar coronal magnetic fields is an open boundary problem, it is desired to apply
some technique that can incorporate this property. The boundary element method is a well-established numerical techniques
that has been applied to many fields including open-space problems. It has also been applied to solar magnetic field problems
for potential, linear force-free field and non-constant-alpha force-free field problems. It may also be extended to consider
the non-force-free field problem. Here we introduce the procedure of the boundary element method and show its applications
in reconstruction of solar magnetic field problems.

Determinations of the abundances of iron and related elements in the photosphere, chromosphere and corona of the Sun and in solar and galactic cosmic rays are reviewed and compared with abundances derived from meteoritic data. Observed Solar System abundances are found to be in accord with predictions of nucleosynthesis under either hydrostatic or explosive conditions but cannot yet be used to define these processes uniquely.Distribution of iron among planets and meteorites can probably be adequately modelled by condensation and fractionation under equilibrium conditions above about 700 K but below that temperature it is likely that inhibited solid state diffusion perturbed attainment of equilibrium. Pertinent factors which are presently unknown include the mechanism responsible for metal-silicate fractionation, the grain size achieved by metallic iron in the nebula and whether iron-bearing silicate formed prior to accretion.Dedicated to Professor Harold C.

Using the Mass Time-of-Flight Spectrometer (MTOF)—part of the Charge, Elements, Isotope Analysis System (CELIAS)—onboard the
Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, we derive the nickel isotopic composition for the isotopes with mass 58,
60 and 62 in the solar wind. In addition we measure the elemental abundance ratio of nickel to iron. We use data accumulated
during ten years of SOHO operation to get sufficiently high counting statistics and compare periods of different solar wind
velocities. We compare our values with the meteoritic ratios, which are believed to be a reliable reference for the solar
system and also for the solar outer convective zone, since neither element is volatile and no isotopic fractionation is expected
in meteorites. Meteoritic isotopic abundances agree with the terrestrial values and can thus be considered to be a reliable
reference for the solar isotopic composition. The measurements show that the solar wind elemental Ni/Fe-ratio and the isotopic
composition of solar wind nickel are consistent with the meteoritic values. This supports the concept that low-FIP elements
are fed without relative fractionation into the solar wind. Our result also confirms the absence of substantial isotopic fractionation
processes for medium and heavy ions acting in the solar wind. 相似文献

We present a detailed analysis of the magnetic topology of flaring active region. TheH
kernels are found to be located at the intersection of the separatrices with the chromosphere when the shear, deduced from the fibrils or/and transverse magnetic field direction, is taken into account. We show that the kernels are magnetically connected by field lines passing close to the separator. We confirm, for other flares, previous studies which show that photospheric current concentrations are located at the borders of flare ribbons. Moreover we found two photospheric current concentrations of opposite sign, linked in the corona by field lines which follow separatrices. These give evidence that magnetic energy is released by reconnection processes in solar flares. 相似文献

The atmosphere of the Sun is characterized by a complex interplay of competing physical processes: convection, radiation, conduction, and magnetic fields. The most obvious imprint of the solar convection and its overshooting in the low atmosphere is the granulation pattern. Beside this dominating scale there is a more or less smooth distribution of spatial scales, both towards smaller and larger scales, making the Sun essentially a multi-scale object. Convection and overshooting give the photosphere its face but also act as drivers for the layers above, namely the chromosphere and corona. The magnetic field configuration effectively couples the atmospheric layers on a multitude of spatial scales, for instance in the form of loops that are anchored in the convection zone and continue through the atmosphere up into the chromosphere and corona. The magnetic field is also an important structuring agent for the small, granulation-size scales, although (hydrodynamic) shock waves also play an important role—especially in the internetwork atmosphere where mostly weak fields prevail. Based on recent results from observations and numerical simulations, we attempt to present a comprehensive picture of the atmosphere of the quiet Sun as a highly intermittent and dynamic system. 相似文献

The observed magnetic field configuration and signatures of reconnection in the large solar magnetic eruptions that make major flares and coronal mass ejections and in the much smaller magnetic eruptions that make X-ray jets are illustrated with cartoons and representative observed eruptions. The main reconnection signatures considered are the imaged bright emission from the heated plasma on reconnected field lines. In any of these eruptions, large or small, the magnetic field that drives the eruption and/or that drives the buildup to the eruption is initially a closed bipolar arcade. From the form and configuration of the magnetic field in and around the driving arcade and from the development of the reconnection signatures in coordination with the eruption, we infer that (1) at the onset of reconnection the reconnection current sheet is small compared to the driving arcade, and (2) the current sheet can grow to the size of the driving arcade only after reconnection starts and the unleashed erupting field dynamically forces the current sheet to grow much larger, building it up faster than the reconnection can tear it down. We conjecture that the fundamental reason the quasi-static pre-eruption field is prohibited from having a large current sheet is that the magnetic pressure is much greater than the plasma pressure in the chromosphere and low corona in eruptive solar magnetic fields. 相似文献

A new mechanism for the FIP fractionation in the solar wind in the form of a stationary diffusion model is proposed. It is based on a weakly stratified chromospheric layer of constant density and temperature, permeated everywhere by ionizing photons and a homogeneous magnetic field. Our model does not invoke any particular geometry or special set up of the system and is founded solely on robust and well understood atomic collisonal physics. Technically, a boundary value problem of four coupled differential equations is solved for each chemical element, i.e. a continuity equation and a momentum equation for both atoms and singly ionized particles. For the main gas (hydrogen), an analytical solution can be found. This then serves as a background for the numerical integration of each trace gas system (several elements from He to Fe). We find that, after a few hydrogen diffusion lengths, each minor species asymptotically approaches a constant density. The ratios of these density values to some reference element reproduce the observed FIP fractionation pattern remarkably well. 相似文献

Studies of sporadic outbursts, ranging from flares to nano-flares, invariably endow the solar corona with steady plasma conditions, prior to seeking a current-flow (or the associated magnetic structure) which induces instability. Such an approach does not incorporate a crucial feature of the natural configuration, namely, that the material is of chromospheric origin, and only resides at coronal altitudes for as long as it can acquire adequate energy. There is clearly a feedback loop involved, which allows plasma to moderate the transfer of energy from the field while making use of this heat to permeate coronal altitudes. An examination of the whole procedure is necessary if the location and threshold-conditions for the energy-conversion mechanism are to be identified.A critical step in the feedback procedure mentioned involves the supply line which links the corona to the chromosphere. Because the solar atmosphere has such large vertical dimensions, even a modest change in average temperature and/or density can place heavy demands on this artery: the problem is that a conventional conduction-dominated transition layer cannot readily accommodate a rapid increase in current-density or plasma-flow. (Restructuring of the temperature gradient, to provide the carriers with extra heat, is a very slow process.) A transition layer of this type is unable to endure for long at the base of a sporadically-heated atmosphere in any case, since it becomes the target for plasma falling in the gravitational field during each intermediate cooling phase. As a result, the gap between the chromosphere and corona is more abrupt than is usually considered, endowing the region with thermo-electric characteristics which allow energy to be extracted when modest current-densities arise. Energy-conversion at this region fulfills two rôles: it supplies at least part of the heat required by the overlying corona, and maintains contact between the chromosphere and corona via non-thermal transport processes. 相似文献

Our present knowledge on the average physical properties of the chromosphere and of the transition region between chromosphere and corona is reviewed. It is recalled that shock wave dissipation is responsible for the high temperatures observed in the chromosphere and corona and that, due to the non-linear character of the dissipation mechanism, no satisfactory explanation of the structure of the outer solar layers has yet been given. In this paper, the main emphasis is on the observations and their interpretation.Evidence for the non-spherically symmetric structure of the atmosphere is given; the validity of interpreting the observations with the help of a fictitious spherically symmetric atmosphere is discussed.The chromosphere and the transition region are studied separately: for each region, the energy balance is considered and recent homogeneous models derived from ultra-violet, infrared and radio observations are discussed.It is stressed that although in the chromosphere, a study of the radiative losses may lead to the determination, as function of height, of the amount of mechanical energy dissipated as function of height, a more detailed analysis of the velocity field is necessary to find the periods and the wavelengths of the waves responsible for the heating. The methods used for wave detection and some results are presented.Observational and theoretical evidence is given for the non-validity of the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium which is commonly used in modeling the transition region.We conclude that a better understanding of the heating mechanism will come through a higher spatial resolution (less than 0.2) and more accurate absolute measurements, rather than from sophisticated hydrodynamical calculations. 相似文献

Gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events are evidently accelerated by coronal/interplanetary shocks driven by coronal
mass ejections. This talk addresses the different factors which determine the composition of the accelerated ions. The first
factor is the set of available seed populations including the solar wind core and suprathermal tail, remnant impulsive events
from preceding solar flares, and remnant gradual events. The second factor is the fractionation of the seed ions by the injection
process, that is, what fraction of the ions are extracted by the shock to participate in diffusive shock acceleration. Injection
is a controversial topic since it depends on the detailed electromagnetic structure of the shock transition and the transport
of ions in these structured fields, both of which are not well understood or determined theoretically. The third factor is
fractionation during the acceleration process, due to the dependence of ion transport in the turbulent electromagnetic fields
adjacent to the shock on the mass/charge ratio. Of crucial importance in the last two factors is the magnetic obliquity of
the shock. The form of the proton-excited hydromagnetic wave spectrum is also important. Finally, more subtle effects on ion
composition arise from the superposition of ion contributions over the time history of the shock along the observer’s magnetic
flux tube, and the sequence of flux tubes sampled by the observer. 相似文献

Solar flares efficiently accelerate electrons to several tens of MeV and ions to 10 GeV. The acceleration is usually thought to be associated with magnetic reconnection occurring high in the corona, though a shock produced by the Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) associated with a flare can also accelerate particles. Diagnostic information comes from emission at the acceleration site, direct observations of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs), and emission at radio wavelengths by escaping particles, but mostly from emission from the chromosphere produced when the energetic particles bombard the footpoints magnetically connected to the acceleration region. This paper provides a review of observations that bear upon the acceleration mechanism. 相似文献

We review the particular aspect of determining particle acceleration sites in solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Depending on the magnetic field configuration at the particle acceleration site, distinctly different radiation signatures are produced: (1) If charged particles are accelerated along compact closed magnetic field lines, they precipitate to the solar chromosphere and produce hard X-rays, gamma rays, soft X-rays, and EUV emission; (2) if they are injected into large-scale closed magnetic field structures, they remain temporarily confined (or trapped) and produce gyrosynchrotron emission in radio and bremsstrahlung in soft X-rays; (3) if they are accelerated along open field lines they produce beam-driven plasma emission with a metric starting frequency; and (4) if they are accelerated in a propagating CME shock, they can escape into interplanetary space and produce beam-driven plasma emission with a decametric starting frequency. The latter two groups of accelerated particles can be geo-effective if suitably connected to the solar west side. Particle acceleration sites can often be localized by modeling the magnetic topology from images in different wavelengths and by measuring the particle velocity dispersion from time-of-flight delays. 相似文献

Although coronal mass ejections have traditionally been thought to contribute only a minor fraction to the total solar particle
flux, and although such events mainly occur in lower heliographic latitudes, the impressive spectacle of eruptions - observed
with SOHO/LASCO even at times of solar minimum - indicates that an important part of the low-latitude solar corona is fed
with matter and magnetic fields in a highly transient manner. Elemental and isotopic abundances determined with the new generation
of particle instruments with high sensitivity and strongly enhanced time resolution indicate that, apart from FIP/FIT-fractionation,
mass-dependent fractionation can also influence the replenishment of the thermal ion population of the corona. Furthermore,
selective enrichment of the thermal coronal plasma with rare species such as 3He can occur. Such compositional features have until recently only been found in energetic particles from impulsive flare
events. This review will concentrate on this and other aspects of the present solar maximum and conclude with some outlook
on future investigations of near-terrestrial space climate (the generalized counterpart of ‘space weather’).
