0.3AU和1AU之间高速太阳风的加速和加热机制

本文应用Helios飞船在0.3AU和1AU之间的高速太阳风质子和磁流涨落观测, 同时考察了包括各种可能的加速和加热效应的高速太阳风动量方程和质子能量方程.分析表明在碰撞为主的等离子体条件下导出的经典粘性系数表式明显地不适用于太阳风等离子体;在0.3AU和1AU之间主要加速力是热压梯度力和Alfven波压力, 背景磁场的洛伦兹力可忽略;在减速方面, 除了太阳重力外, 还需存在其它减速机制, 才能使太阳风动量平衡.看来唯有粘性能同时满足减速和加热这两种要求.      

Alfv■n脉动对太阳风的加热

本文采用了空间飞船Helios 1和2在0.3AU到0.9AU之间对太阳风高速流的观测数据,检验了Alfvén脉动对太阳风加热的理论以及Alfvén脉动的衰减机制。计算表明,在Helios观测的空间范围内,(1)若脉动耗散的能量转化为质子的热能,由能量守恒方程计算出的质子温度的径向变化与观测一致;(2)经典粘性衰减机制预计的能量耗散率与实测结果相差很大,因而不能解释脉动能量转化为质子能量的过程;(3)波能串级模式预计的能量耗散率与实测一致,说明太阳风质子的加热很可能是由于串级到质子迴旋频率范围的脉动能量转化为质子的热能所致。     

关于太阳风中Alfvén脉动粘性衰减的讨论

本文讨论了被认为是可能存在的Alfvén脉动的粘性衰减效应.分析表明,Alfvén脉动的粘性衰减应是各向异性的,它正比于平行于平均磁场的脉动分量.若平行于与垂直于平均磁场方向的脉动能量之比为一常数,波长大于碰撞自由程的波动经历的粘性衰减都集中在20R_⊙以内.在0.3AU至1AU,各频率的Alfvén脉动将不经历显著的由库仑碰撞决定的粘性衰减.粘性衰减机制不能解释观测到的谱的径向变化.如果在接近太阳的空间,Alfvén脉动确有平行分量,那么它的粘性衰减将会对快发散流管中的太阳风有加速作用.如果在接近太阳的区域,Alfvén脉动的平行分量小得可以忽略的话,Alfvén脉动将不经受任何经典粘性衰减.      

太阳风高速流能流分布

根据Ylysses观测,比较完整地计算了高纬行星际空间太阳风能流分布．计算表明,行星际空间的高速流能流密度约为2．1×10-3J·m-2·s-1（日心距离r＝1AU）,主要来自于太阳风离子所携带的动能流（占58％）和克服太阳引力的势能流（占39％）．要驱动高速流,需要在日冕底部高速流源区（日心距离r=1Rs）向外输出到太阳风的能流密度为7．1×102J·m-2·s－1·分析表明,由日冕底部向外可能输出两种形式的能流,其中一种具有较短的耗散长度,被耗散在很短的空间区域（～1—2Rs）,使日冕温度迅速提高。另一种储藏在连续向外传播的太阳风中,不断耗散用以加速太阳风（＞2Rs）．

多种观测数据驱动的三维行星际太阳风MHD模拟

三维磁流体力学（MHD）数值模拟是行星际太阳风研究的重要手段.本文发展了一种由多种观测数据驱动的三维行星际太阳风MHD数值模型.模型的计算区域为0.1AU到1AU附近，使用Lax-Friedrich差分格式在六片网格系统中进行数值求解.边界条件中磁场使用GONG台站观测的光球磁图外推获得，密度通过LASCO观测的白光偏振亮度反演得到，速度根据以上两种观测数据并利用一种基于人工神经网络技术（ANN）的方法得到，温度通过自洽方法根据磁场和密度导出.利用该模型模拟了第2062卡灵顿周（CR2062）时期的行星际太阳风，模拟结果显示出丰富的观测特征，并与OMNI以及Ulysses的实际观测值符合得较好.该模型可用于提供接近真实的行星际太阳风，有助于提高空间天气预报的精度.      

高频Alfven波供能的日冕及太阳风模型

空间探测的最新结果表明，太阳大气中广泛存在小尺度喷发事件，这些事件被认为是由新浮现磁通量导致的小尺度磁重联的表现．小尺度磁重联同时会产生高频Alfven波．本文给出了建立在上述思想基础上的描述日冕加热及太阳风加速的时变二元流体模型的一组数值解，显示解的时间演化、收敛特性及守恒特性．在对由过渡区发出的高频Alfven波频谱的适当假设下，数值解能够解释日冕及太阳风等多方面的观测结果，包括日冕加热，极冕洞密度径向变化，太阳风近日冕底部加速，及在03AU观测到的高速流特征．     

高速太阳风中α粒子分布的形成

以多级波粒相互作用模型和1维电磁混合模拟方法研究了高速太阳风中α粒子分布的形成机制．认为α粒子从其产生区到1AU,经历4个特征区域：在冕洞下方的小尺度磁重联区,α粒子产生并得到加速：在约十几个太阳半径日冕区,α粒子形成球壳分布函数：在几十个太阳半径处,在Alfven波和温度各向异性不稳定性的作用下,α粒子分布函数演化为漂移Maxwell分布：当α粒子进入0．3－1AU时,Alfven波的作用使α粒子速度超过太阳风速度约1个局域Alfven速度．     

WSA太阳风经验模型及其应用

Wang-Sheely-Arge （WSA）模型是对准稳态太阳风的经验和物理相结合的描述,其利用观测的日面磁图作为输入,可以提前3到4天预测L1点处的太阳风速度和行星际磁场极性.WSA模型是在WS模型的基础上经过若干改进形成的实时预报模式,之后又借鉴Distance from the Coronal Hole Boundary （DCHB）模型的参数,进一步改进了太阳风速度关系式,形成了目前常见的形式.WSA经验模型由日冕磁场模型、太阳风速度关系式和一维运动学模型三部分组成.在实际应用过程中,基本步骤包括观测磁图预处理、日冕三维磁场反演、计算日冕磁场参数、计算太阳风的速度分布和将太阳风映射到1AU等环节.在发展过程中,WSA模型经历了一些细节上的调整变化,例如观测磁图数据的来源、日冕磁场模型的类型、经验速度关系中自由系数的取值等.许多研究对如何改善模型的预报效果进行了探索.

Corotating events in the energy range 4–13 MeV as observed on board Helios 1 and 2 in 1975 and 1976

Intensity increases of 4 – 13 MeV protons correlated with recurrent high speed solar wind streams were observed on board Helios 1 and 2 at heliocentric distances between 0.3 and 1.0 AU. Study of events which occurred in the time period 1975 – 1976 showed that recurrent fast solar wind streams were sometimes not accompanied by corotating events and small events were more frequently observed than large corotating events, which occurred only occasionally. The explanation for these phenomena seems to be the variation of the number of suprathermal particles injected into the acceleration process. Radial gradients of corotating events from February till April 1976 were investigated. The gradient changed its sign in successive solar rotations and exhibited strong time dependence inside 1 AU. Clearly negative gradients were measured in corotating events which occurred in February and April 1976. These observations showed that probably there were no stationary corotating structures in interplanetary space. We suggest that this effect is related to local disturbances of solar origin, e. g. flare initiated shocks.     

ICMEs Likely From the Same Active Region Observed by Both Helios 1 and IMP 8

The chance of an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME) observed by widely-separated spacecraft is rare. However, such an event provides us a good opportunity to study the propagation and evolution of ICMEs in the heliosphere. On day 72 of 1975, an ICME was observed by Helios 1 at 0.3 AU, while a similar solar wind structure was observed by IMP 8 at Earth on day 70 of 1975. On the basis of comparison of the plasma signatures and the transit time from Helios 1 to IMP 8, we hypothesize the observed ICMEs by both spacecraft are resulted from the same active region on the solar surface. A one-dimensional MHD model was used to track the ICME from Helios 1 (0.3 AU) to Earth. The observed plasma profiles and timing are close to those predicted by our MHD model and thus, give the supports to the model.      

Evolution of solar wind structures from 0.72 to 1 AU

Understanding the evolution of solar wind structures in the inner heliosphere as they approach the Earth is important to space weather prediction. From the in situ solar wind plasma and magnetic field measurements of Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) at 0.72 AU (1979–1988), and of Wind/Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) missions at 1 AU (1995–2004), we identify and characterize two major solar wind structures, stream interaction regions (SIRs) and interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs). The average percentage of SIRs occurring with shocks increases significantly from 3% to 24% as they evolve from 0.72 to 1 AU. The average occurrence rate, radial extent, and bulk velocity variation of SIRs do not change from 0.72 to 1 AU, while peak pressure and magnetic field strength both decrease with the radial evolution of SIRs. Within the 0.28 AU distance from the orbit of Venus to that of Earth, the average fraction of ICMEs with shocks increases from 49% to 66%, and the typical radial extent of ICMEs expands by about a fraction of 1.4, with peak pressure and magnetic field strength decreasing significantly. The mean occurrence rate and expansion velocity of ICMEs do not change from 0.72 to 1 AU.

Dynamic processes in the outer heliosphere: voyager observations and models

We review recent Voyager 2 observations in the vicinity of 70 AU. The character of the solar wind plasma data between 2002 and 2003 changed to a regime in which the speed, density and magnetic field magnitude are positively correlated. The average speed of the solar wind at Voyager 2 increased between early 2003 and mid-2004, which we attribute to a return of fast coronal hole flow. We use solar wind data at Earth as input to numerical models which include the effect of pickup ions to model the radial evolution of the solar wind. The model reproduces the basic features of the observations. As a specific example, we investigate the propagation of the Halloween (Oct.–Nov.), 2003 storms in the outer heliosphere. The model predictions are in reasonable agreement with Voyager 2 observations.
