两冕流间CME事件数值模拟的改进

通过偶极子场和六极子场适当叠加，改进猜解磁场，使猜解磁场在太阳南北极符号相反，然后采用理想磁流体力学方程组(MHD)，由猜解磁场与太阳风流动相互作用计算出稳态自洽解，得到定性上与观测比较接近的具有两个冕流的背景结构．在两个冕流间采用具有同心圆磁场位形的触发模型触发CME事件，研究CME的日冕传播特征．模拟结果表明，CME被约束在两冕流间传播，CME闭磁场位形和磁云横截面磁场位形相似，可以解释1AU处观测磁云的部分特征；在CME附近，存在压力和Lorentz力起主要作用的区域，这可以为分析1AU处CME事件的观测数据提供帮助．     

嵌套闭磁场日冕背景结构对触发CME特征的影响

在子午面内,研究具有嵌套闭磁场结构冕流背景对触发日冕物质抛射(CME)特征的影响.在冕流背景磁场结构内有三个小尺度的闭磁场结构,其中中间小尺度闭磁场结构的磁场方向和冕流整体偶极磁场方向相反.CME触发模型在这个小尺度闭磁场结构下方浮出,它具有同心圆形磁场结构,半径为a=0.1Rs(Rs为太阳半径);CME触发模型前半部分磁场方向和触发位置处小尺度闭磁场结构的磁场方向相反,与冕流整体偶极磁场方向相同.数值模拟结果表明,当CME触发模型中心等离子压力与边界压力之比m≥2时,上浮CME触发模型可以触发CME;当m＜2时,上浮CME触发模型不能触发CME,计算结论的误差小于1%.      

两冕流间的对称径向膨胀日冕物质抛射事件

本文讨论了发生在冕流对之间的1980年5月6日日冕物质抛射事件。提出了一种描述事件外环运动的经验模型,把环的观测外形表达为在运动坐标系中的Cassini函数。环的发展过程分为两个阶段:在前一阶段,外环处于冕流对盔状结构之间,事件的发展以角宽度膨胀为主,其对称轴从赤道向北纬方向移动;径向膨胀和上升速度较低,加速效应明显。在后一阶段,外环越过冕流盔状结构所在高度,角膨胀趋于停止;运动接近于等角宽度和纯径向匀速的膨胀和上升运动。当外环向外运动时,其顶部和几何中心的高度均随时间而增加,但其底部高度基本上保持不变。根据上述观测特征,讨论了事件形成的可能机制。      

双向膨胀日冕物质抛射事件

1980年5月5日CME事件的外环具有很强的角膨胀,但内环角膨胀很小;角膨胀使外环前沿变坦、冕流弯曲并移位。与在同一太阳区域内相继发生的5月6日事件相比,两者的径向运动特征在时间域内各异,在空间域内却是相似的。

阿尔芬波的调制不稳定性

考虑由有质动力引起的密度变化和流速改变两个非线性效应,运用Karpman方法研究阿尔芬波的调制不稳定性,对左、右圆偏振波两个分支,分别得出了具有波包孤子解和反波包孤子解的条件、密度扰动和阿尔芬波能量密度间的关联等结果.      

双变量波状扰动激发重力波波包的数值研究

采用谱配置方法对双变量波状扰动激发重力波的过程及其能量传播和转换特性进行数值研究．模拟结果表明，当初始给定的两个变量的波状扰动的相对振幅和相位严格满足重力波的偏振关系时，只有水平风场扰动(u′)与温度扰动(7′)的共同作用才能抑制能量向下传输．通常情况下，两个变量的波状扰动都会激发出两文传播方向相反的重力波波包，这两支波包的相对能量明显取决于两个波状扰动之间的相对振幅关系．当两个扰动之间的相对振幅满足特定条件时，向下传播的能量几乎为零，只会有一支向上传播的重力波波包被激发．进一步的数值分析则表明，各种情况下两个变量的波状扰动所激发的重力波波包的能量传播路径和速度基本相同；与单变量波状扰动激发重力波波包的过程相比，能量传播路径几乎完全一致，扰动转化为波动的特征时间也基本相同，但能量转换效率更高．     

较小尺度磁螺旋线管相互作用的数值研究

在子午面内,偶极子场和六极子场适当叠加得到势磁场,势磁场与太阳风长时间相瓦作用得到特殊的冕流背景结构.在这种背景结构下,两个较小尺度的磁螺旋线管模型能够连续浮入到计算域,在计算域内相互作用,触发了日冕物质抛射(CME).在数值模拟这一过程时,较小尺度的磁螺旋线管模型具有同心圆形磁场结构,模型中心等离子压强与边界压强之比m=2,模型的半径分别取为a=0.07 R.和a=0.1 Rs(Rs为太阳半径).在这两种情况下,得到了两种典型的计算结果.当a=0.07 Rs时,两个磁螺旋线管模型相瓦作用,在7 Rs内融合成一个磁螺旋线管模型,向外传播;当a=0.1 Rs时,两个磁螺旋线管模型相互作用,作为一个整体向外传播,在计算域内没有融合到一起,基本上保持各自的磁场结构.

Evolution of coronal mass ejections in the early stage

This work reports the investigation of two coronal mass ejections (CME) observed in white light, H, EUV and X-ray by various instruments both in space and on ground on February 18, 2003 and January 19, 2005, respectively. The white light coronal images show that the first CME began with the rarefaction of a region above the solar limb and was followed by the formation of its leading edge at the boundary of the rarefying region at altitude of 0.46 R from the solar surface. The rarefaction coincided the slow rising phase of the filament eruption, and the CME leading edge was observed to form as the filament eruption started to accelerate apparently. In the early stage of the second CME, a bright loop was first observed above the solar limb with height of 0.37 R in EUV images. We found that the more gradual CMEs initial process, the larger the timing difference between CMEs and their associated flares. The lower part of the filament brightened in H images as the filament rose to a certain height. These brightenings imply that the filament may be heated by magnetic reconnection below the filament in the early stage of the eruption. We suggest that the possible mechanism which led to the formation of the CME leading edge and cavity is magnetic reconnection which occurred under the filament when it reached a certain height.     

Source investigation of impulsive He-rich particle events

We have investigated the source characteristic and coronal magnetic field structure of six impulsive solar energetic particle (SEP) events selected from Wang et al. [Wang, Y.-M., Pick, M., Mason, G.M. Coronal holes, jets, and the origin of ³He-rich particle events. ApJ 639, 495, 2006] and Pick et al. [Pick, M., Mason, G.M., Wang, Y.-M., Tan, C., Wang, L. Solar source regions for ³He-rich solar energetic particle events identified using imaging radio, optical, and energetic particle observations. ApJ 648, 1247, 2006]. Some results are obtained: first, 2 events are associated with wide (≈100°) CMEs (hereafter wide CME events), another 4 events are associated with narrow (?40°) CMEs (hereafter narrow CME events); second, the coronal magnetic field configuration of narrow CME events appear more simple than that of the wide CME events; third, the photospheric magnetic field evolutions of all these events show new emergence of fluxes, while one case also shows magnetic flux cancellation; fourth, the EUV jets usually occurred very close to the footpoint of the magnetic field loop, while meter type III bursts occurred near or at the top of the loop and higher than EUV jets. Furthermore, the heights of type III bursts are estimated from the result of the coronal magnetic field extrapolations.

Coronal mass ejections in the heliosphere

With the advent of the NASA STEREO mission, we are in a position to perform unique investigations of the evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) as they propagate through the heliosphere, and thus can investigate the relationship between CMEs and their interplanetary counterparts, so-called interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs). ICME studies have been principally limited to single-point, in-situ observations; interpretation of the in-situ characteristics of ICMEs has been used to derive a range of ICME properties which we can now confirm or refute using the STEREO imaging data. This paper is a review of early STEREO CME observations and how they relate to our currently understanding of ICMEs based on in-situ observations. In that sense, it is a first glance at the applications of the new data-sets to this topic and provides pointers to more detailed analyses. We find good agreement with in-situ-based interpretations, but this in turn leads to an anomaly regarding the final stages of a CME event that we investigate briefly to identify directions for future study.     

日冕物质抛射中非对称高密度云和非线性波的形成和演化

应用函数拟合及数字滤波等方法,对SMM飞船观测的1980年8月18日日冕物质抛射事件进行了定量分析。论证了不对称高密度云的形成与爆发日珥顶端偏离冕流对称轴有关,讨论了此不对称结构的演化及其对事件发展的影响,作出了暗腔是强磁场膨胀体的重要论断。从图象亮度的高度分布剖面中,分析出日冕非线性波在演化过程中前沿变陡的观测证据,推算了演化成激波的时间和高度,并论证了两者都是强磁场膨胀体所驱动的,而不是瞬时能量爆发所引起的。      

A POSSIBLE MECHANISM FOR CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS

This paper examines a possible mechanism for the initiation of coronal mass ejections by means of the eruption of magnetic flux beneath a closed magnetic structure analogous to a coronal helmet structure. Anumerical computation shows that such an eruption deforms the helmet structure into an expanding bright "loop", followed by a dark cavity due to the expansion of the erupted magnetic field. The morphology and the internal structure of the loop are mainly determined by the background magnetic field whereas its ejective speed is largely controlled by the rate of flux ejection. The present model identifies the loop-like mass ejections with the above plasma structures moving with the frozen-in magnetic field and it may well explain some general properties of such ejections.      

Research on a complex CME event including Hα, LASCO, radio and MDI observations

We present our research on a fast and decelerating partial halo coronal mass ejection (CME) event detected in multi-wavelengths in the chromosphere and the corona on 14 October, 1999. The event involved a whole complex active area which spanned more than 40° of heliolongitude. It included a strong solar flare (XI/1N) and a complex eruptive filament within an active region of the entire complex. Especially, several radio sources were detected in the decimetric range prior to the CME by the Nançay Radioheliograph (NRH). A linear force-free field extrapolation of the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) magnetogram was performed to calculate the magnetic topology of the complex prior to the triggering of the event. The presence of a coronal null point combined with the occurrence of two distant and nearly simultaneous radio sources put strong arguments in favor of the generalized breakout model for the triggering of the eruption. The analysis of the subsequent development of the event suggests that large interconnecting loops were ejected together with the CME.     

Short term topological changes of coronal holes associated with prominence eruptions and subsequent CMEs

We study the short-term topological changes of equatorial and polar coronal hole (CH) boundaries, such as a variation of their area and disintegration, associated to reconnection with nearby (within 15° distance) quiescent prominence magnetic fields leading to eruptions and subsequent Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). The examples presented here correspond to the recent solar minimum years 2008 and 2009. We consider a temporal window of one day between the CH topological changes and the start and end times of prominence eruptions and onset of CMEs. To establish this association we took into account observational conditions related to the instability of prominence/filaments, the occurrence of a CME, as well as the subsequent evolution after the CME. We found an association between short-term local topological changes in CH boundaries and the formation/disappearance of bright points near them, as well as, between short-term topological changes within the whole CH and eruptions of nearby quiescent prominences followed by the appearance of one or more CMEs.     

Large-scale waves in the solar corona: The continuing debate

Ten years after the first observation of large-scale wave-like coronal disturbances with the EIT instrument aboard SOHO, the most crucial questions concerning these “EIT waves” are still being debated controversially – what is their actual physical nature, and how are they launched? Possible explanations include MHD waves or shocks, launched by flares or driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), as well as models where coronal waves are not actually waves at all, but generated by successive “activation” of magnetic fieldlines in the framework of a CME. Here, we discuss recent observations that might help to discriminate between the different models. We focus on strong coronal wave events that do show chromospheric Moreton wave signatures. It is stressed that multiwavelength observations with high time cadence are particularly important, ideally when limb events with CME observations in the low corona are available. Such observations allow for a detailed comparison of the kinematics of the wave, the CME and the associated type II radio burst. For Moreton-associated coronal waves, we find strong evidence for the wave/shock scenario. Furthermore, we argue that EIT waves are actually generated by more than one physical process, which might explain some of the issues which have made the interpretation of these phenomena so controversial.
