Microwave Diagnostics of Dynamic Processes and Oscillations in Groups of Solar Coronal Magnetic Loops

Low-frequency (LF) modulations of the solar microwave radiation (37 GHz) recorded at the Metsähovi Radio Observatory, are analyzed. Since the intensity of solar microwave radiation, produced by the electron gyrosynchrotron mechanism, is dependent on a value of the background magnetic field [Dulk, G. A.: 1985, Ann. Rev. Astron. Astrophys. 23, 169–224], slow variations of the magnetic field associated with disturbances of the electric current in a radiating source, can modulate the intensity of the microwave radiation. The observed multi-track features of the LF spectra are interpreted as a signature of a complex multi-loop structure of the radiating source. Application of the equivalent electric circuit models of interacting loops allows to explain and reproduce the main dynamical features of the observed LF modulation dynamic spectra.

On the Stability of Siphon Flows Confined in Coronal Loops

We use a time-dependent hydrodynamic model to study the dynamics of siphon flows triggered by differences of pressure or heat deposition asymmetries between the two footpoints of a coronal loop. We show that steady pressure driven flows in a uniformly heated loop are unstable, whereas those driven by asymmetries in the heating function may be stable. We also show that, in these cases, relatively cool loops might be filled far above their static pressure scale height.

The Strength and Structure of the Coronal Magnetic Field

I discuss a method for determining the strength and spatial structure of the coronal magnetic field by observations of the Faraday rotation of a radio galaxy which is in conjunction with the Sun. Given a knowledge of the plasma density in the outer corona, and the magnetic field sector structure (both independently available), the strength of the coronal field can be determined, as well as the magnitude of spatial variations on scales of 1000 km to several solar radii. Such knowledge is crucial for testing computational models of the solar corona, which are prominently featured in this meeting. Results are presented from observations with the Very Large Array radio telescope of the radio galaxy 3C228 on August 16, 2003, when the line of sight to the source was at heliocentic distances of 7.1−6.2R _⊙. The observations are consistent with a coronal magnetic field which is proportional to the inverse square of the distance in the range 6 ≤ r ≤ 10R _⊙, and has a value of 39 mG at 6.2R _⊙. The Faraday rotation is uniform across the source, indicating an absence of strong plasma inhomogeneity on spatial scales up to 35,000 km.     

基于等效磁路法的轴向磁场磁通切换型永磁电机静态特性分析

轴向磁场磁通切换型永磁(AFFSPM)电机是一种轴向长度短、转矩密度高的新型永磁电机。该电机磁场呈三维分布,与径向磁场电机不同,需要对该电机进行三维有限元分析,从而增加了电机分析和优化时的计算时间和成本。基于等效磁路法分析了AFFSPM电机的静态特性,建立了AFFSPM电机的非线性等效磁路模型,采用该模型计算、分析了气隙磁密、空载永磁磁链、反电动势和电感等特性,并与采用三维有限元方法的计算结果进行比较,验证了AFFSPM电机等效磁路模型的准确性,表明等效磁路模型适用于AFFSPM电机初始设计和分析。

结合磁粉检验的实际情况介绍了特殊情况下的磁畴重排现象,指出由于磁畴重排现象的存在,某些情况下仅根据材料剩余磁感应强度和矫顽力的大小来决定是否可采用剩磁法检验还不够,还应考虑由几何形状引起的磁畴重排影响,并在此基础上分析了磁畴重排现象产生的原因及其对剩磁法检验的影响。     

The 3D Geometry, Motion, and Hydrodynamic Aspects of Oscillating Coronal Loops

We transition from two-dimensional (2D) imaging observations of kink-mode loop oscillations in the solar corona to three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions by exploring two new methods: (1) De-projection of 2D loop tracings using the strategy of curvature radius maximization in 3D space, based on the assumption of force-free magnetic fields; and (2) stereoscopic triangulation of epipolar loop coordinates using coaligned images from the STEREO EUVI/A and B spacecraft. Both methods reveal new features of oscillating loops: non-circularity, non-planarity, and helical geometries. We extend the 3D reconstruction techniques into the time domain and find indications of circularly polarized (helical) kink-mode oscillations, in contrast to linearly polarized modes assumed previously. We discuss also hydrodynamic effects of coronal loops in non-equilibrium state that are essential for the detection and modeling of kink-mode oscillations.     

Large-scale Coronal Heating, Clustering of Coronal Bright Points, and Concentration of Magnetic Flux

By combining quiet-region Fe XII coronal images from SOHO/EIT with magnetograms from NSO/Kitt Peak and from SOHO/MDI, we show that the population of network coronal bright points and the magnetic flux content of the network are both markedly greater under the bright half of the large-scale quiet corona than under the dim half. These results (1) support the view that the heating of the entire corona in quiet regions and coronal holes is driven by fine-scale magnetic activity (microflares, explosive events, spicules) seated low in the magnetic network, and (2) suggest that this large-scale modulation of the magnetic flux and coronal heating is a signature of giant convection cells.

Analysis of Squaring Circuit Mechanizations in Costas and Squaring Loops

Two different implementations of the carrier recovery loop for suppressed carrier binary phase-shift keyed (BPSK) signals are considered. In particular, the tracking performance of the squaring loop in which the squaring circuit is mechanized by a limiter/multiplier lier combination to produce the absolute value of the incoming signal, followed by appropriate bandpass filtering, is compared with that of the usual squaring loop whose squaring circuit is the timestwo wo multiplier which exhibits a square law characteristic.     

Coronal Heating: a Comparison of Ion-cyclotron and Gravity Damping Models

SOHO/UVCS data indicate that minor ions in the corona are heated more than hydrogen, and that coronal heating results in T_⊥ larger than T_‖. Analogous behavior has been known from in situ measurements in solar wind for many years. Here we compare and contrast two mechanisms which have been proposed to account for the above behavior: ion-cyclotron resonance and gravity damping.

On the Coronal Magnetic Field Configuration and Solar Flare/CME Process

The coronal magnetic field configuration is important for understanding the energy storage and release processes that account for flares and/or CMEs. Here we present a model which is based on the work for potential magnetic field problems that only applies the condition at infinity with the boundary condition on the solar surface specified. We also discuss some recent progress on general force-free field models. For some event analyses, we have employed MDI/SOHO longitudinal magnetogram insected into the synoptic magnetogram to obtain whole boundary condition over the solar surface. Globally, the extrapolated global magnetic field structures effectively demonstrate the case for the disk signature of the radio CMEs and the evolution of the radio sources during the CME/flare processes.

In-Situ Solar Wind and Magnetic Field Signatures of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections

The heliospheric counterparts of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) at the Sun, interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs), can be identified in situ based on a number of magnetic field, plasma, compositional and energetic particle signatures as well as combinations thereof. We summarize these signatures and their implications for understanding the nature of these structures and the physical properties of coronal mass ejections. We conclude that our understanding of ICMEs is far from complete and formulate several challenges that, if addressed, would substantially improve our knowledge of the relationship between CMEs at the Sun and in the heliosphere.     

A Model of the Magnetic Field Long-Term Evolution at the Coronal Base and Polar Heliospheric Regions

The long-term evolution of the polar magnetic field at the coronal base induced by the first Rossby mode demonstrates the reversal of the line-of-sight magnetic field component in polar caps and what is more the same line-of-sight magnetic polarities in both caps (“the line-of-sight solar magnetic monopole”) at the moment of reversal.

The Solar Magnetic Field as a Coronal Hole Extension Forms: Effects of Magnetic Helicity and Boundary Conditions

An analytical solution is presented for linear force fields within a spherical shell, representing the solar corona. Allowing for a global magnetic helicity, we find magnetic fields over the entire corona with realistic inner boundary conditions obtained from transformation and extrapolation of photospheric magnetograms and considering alternative outer boundary conditions. Such fields are found for the well known coronal hole extension event of August 1996. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

We provide a brief overview of present-day studies of inner corona dynamics, with examples of mass ejections (CME), flares and active region dynamics. While the names of the topics have not changed in several decades, the internal details and the language used to express the nature of the problem have changed considerably. We conclude with a short discussion of the contribution to studies of coronal dynamics to be expected from the Atmospheric Imager Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
