太阳极紫外冕苔区加热过程的高分辨率观测研究

High-resolution Observational Study of Heating Processes in Solar EUV Moss Regions

  • 摘要: 利用大熊湖天文台BBSO (Big Bear Solar Observatory)古迪太阳望远镜GST (Goode Solar Telescope)的氦10830 Å高时空分辨率观测数据, 对位于色球谱斑上方的极紫外EUV (Extremely Ultra Violet)冕苔区(Moss Region)的过渡区辐射、温度结构及其与色球、光球的关系进行了研究, 极紫外观测数据及相应的微分发射度DEM (Differential Emission Measure)分析源自太阳动力学天文台SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory)上的大气成像组件AIA (Atmospheric Imaging Assembly). 基于氦10830 Å的吸收特性, 目标极紫外冕苔被划分为吸收增强的区域EAP (Enhanced Absorption Patches)和吸收偏弱的区域LAP (Less Absorption Patch). 数据分析首先证实了既往研究的两个结论: (1) EAP上方的高温等离子体密度系统性地高于LAP上方的高温等离子体密度; (2) EAP主要分布于光球米粒间隙的上方. 与以往认知不同的是, 本研究发现EAP上方的等离子体温度比LAP上方等离子体温度高, 表明EAP上方的热压大于其周围区域; 此外, 观测结果还揭示了EAP上方的极紫外辐射存在着快变分量. 基于上述发现, 探讨了氦10830 Å窄带观测对于日冕加热问题研究中的独特价值, 并讨论了这些结果对于甄别不同加热模型的物理意义.

     

    Abstract: High spatiotemporal resolution observations of the He I 10830 Å line, acquired with the Goode Solar Telescope (GST) at the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO), are utilized to investigate the transition region emission, temperature structure, and their coupling with the photosphere and chromosphere in an EUV moss region located above a chromospheric plage. Complementary EUV observations and Differential Emission Measure (DEM) analysis are derived from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Based on the absorption characteristics of He I 10830 Å, the target EUV moss region is categorized into Enhanced Absorption Patches (EAPs) and Less Absorption Patches (LAPs). The data analysis confirms two previously established results: (1) the density of high-temperature plasma above EAPs is systematically higher than that above LAPs; and (2) EAPs are primarily co-spatial with photospheric intergranular lanes. In contrast to previous findings, however, this study reveals that the plasma temperature above EAPs is significantly higher than that above LAPs, implying that the thermal pressure above EAPs exceeds that of the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the observations exhibit distinct fast-varying components in the EUV emission above EAPs. These findings highlight the unique diagnostic capability of He I 10830 Å narrowband observations for coronal heating studies and offer critical constraints for distinguishing between various coronal heating models.
