1997年3月9日漠河日全食外冕观测方案

目前太阳活动处于极小期，太阳表面的活动区磁场处于相对不活动状态。但暗条和冕洞等活动形式仍有存在。特别是极区冕洞，其性质仍有许多疑团不被人所知。例如磁场对冕洞的影响。在中低太阳纬度，冕洞出现在大块的磁场单极区。然而在高纬区情况如何呢？冕洞在极区经常存在（极区冕洞），但并不总是存在。我们曾看到美国高山天文台（ＨＡＯ）于１９７３观测的一幅日全食照片，其南极有明显的极区冕洞，而北极区存在有纤细而美丽的冕羽。我国１９６８年和１９８０年两次日全食所观测的资料只有中内冕（Ｒ⊙—１．５Ｒ⊙以内），Ｒ⊙大于１．５Ｒ⊙的外日冕平时还只有在空间才能得到。１９９７年３月９日日全食是本世纪我国国土上观测日冕的良好机会，但条件限制我们不能携带专门用于日全食观测的大型设备，本文提出了一种用普通摄像机拍摄日冕像而再进行图像采集处理的方法，以获得Ｒ⊙大于等于２范围的日冕观测方案。另外在日全食观测前后，需要用同一台摄像机在同盘磁带上对黑暗进行拍摄以备暗场处理之用。再用同台摄像机和ＧＧ１１滤光片在同盘磁带上对均匀天空进行拍摄以作黄光，白光平场背景之用。根据不同研究的需要，在资料处理时，应作相应的绝对定标，大气消光及位移的改正。     

第22周上升期地磁扰动的初步分析(英文)

本文讨论第22周上升期的地磁瞬变及共转扰动。本活动周的地磁活动从1987年夏季开始上升。1988年起出现K_P≥6级扰动持续3小时以上的强主相磁爆,但多数磁爆是S(C)型延迟主相磁爆。 1988年第一、二次联测期间磁扰很弱,K_P指数基本上不超过4级。第三次联测期间发生几个中等强度的磁扰,象是冕洞引起的重现性扰动。6月28日日面S19E22发生的M6.5/2B耀斑,245MHz射电流量峰值达230,000单位,但未引起显著的地磁扰动,可能是耀斑的持续时间太短,只有13分钟。 第四次联测期间12月15日在N26E59,持续时间为128分的X1.1/1N耀斑,和12月17日在N26E37、持续184分的X4.7/1B耀斑。有两个急始型磁扰对应:12月16日的S(d)型短期弱扰动和12月17日的S(b)型强急始脉冲或小型磁暴;12月25,观测到一个典型的缓始但有明显主相的磁暴(图2)。形态相似的扰动也在4月22日(活动区在50～60°W)观测到,可能有冕洞发生在活动区所在经度附近,图1和所示的两个磁暴起源、结构都完全不同。前者对应于耀斑激波,后者对应于冕洞高速流。 图3画出1987和1988年的地磁C,指数的共转变化。从图4可以看出上述不断出现的共转扰动正是第21周似稳共转扰动的再现,预计冕洞也有相似的日面经度分布,值得注意的是1989年3月的巨大日地扰动事件恰好发生在第15卡林顿日     

Extreme ultraviolet observations of coronal holes

Extreme-ultraviolet Skylab and ground-based solar magnetic field data have been combined to study the origin and evolution of coronal holes. It is shown that holes exist only within the large-scale unipolar magnetic cells into which the solar surface is divided at any given time. A well-defined boundary zone usually exists between the edge of a hole and the neutral line which marks the edge of its magnetic cell. This boundary zone is the region across which a cell is connected by magnetic arcades with adjacent cells of opposite polarity. Three pieces of observational evidence are offered to support the hypothesis that the magnetic lines of force from a hole are open. Kitt Peak magnetograms are used to show that, at least on a relative scale, the average field strengths within holes are quite variable, but indistinguishable from the field strengths in other quiet parts of the Sun's surface.Finally it is shown that the large, equatorial holes characteristic of the declining phase of the last solar cycle during Skylab (1973–74) were all formed as a result of the mergence of bipolar magnetic regions (BMR's), confirming an earlier hypothesis by Timothy et al. (1975). Systematic application of this model to the different aspects of the solar cycle correctly predicts the occurrence of both large, equatorial coronal holes (the M-regions which cause recurrent geomagnetic storms) and the polar cap holes.

Long-lived coronal structures and recurrent geomagnetic patterns in 1974

Daily measurements of the intensity distribution of the Sun's white-light corona over the height range $\text{1.1–2.7. R}{}_{\mathrm{?}}$ show that the global structure became quite stable (constant over periods of several months) in late 1973 and throughout 1974, as flares, ascending prominences and other transient activity became less frequent with the decline of the solar activity cycle. A highly persistent pattern of geomagnetic activity prevailed for much of this time. Bright coronal structures in the ecliptic plane were associated with geomagnetically quiet conditions, and faint coronal regions (“holes”) with geomagnetic disturbance, after a delay of about three days. These results confirm the “cone-of-avoidance” model for M-regions and reinforce the postulate that high-speed streams in the solar wind originate from coronal holes. Identification of coronal holes from ground-based K-coronal observations corresponds well with those made from spacecraft EUV and X-ray experiments on OSO-7 and Skylab.     

A survey of coronal holes and their solar wind associations throughout sunspot cycle 20

To gain insight into the relationships between solar activity, the occurrence and variability of coronal holes, and the association of such holes with solar wind features such as high-velocity streams, a study of the period 1963–1974 was made. This period corresponds approximately with sunspot cycle 20. The primary data used for this work consisted of X-ray and XUV solar images obtained from rockets. The investigation revealed that:

1. The polar coronal holes prominent at solar minimum, decreased in area as solar activity increased and were small or absent at maximum phase. This evolution exhibited the same phase difference between the two hemispheres that was observed in other indicators of activity.
2. During maximum, coronal holes occurred poleward of the sunspot belts and in the equatorial region between them. The observed equatorial holes were small and persisted for one or two solar rotations only; some high latitude holes had lifetimes exceeding two solar rotations.
3. During 1963–74 whenever XUV or X-ray images were available, nearly all recurrent solar wind streams of speed ?500 km s^?1 were found associated with coronal holes at less than 40° latitude; however some coronal holes appeared to have no associated wind streams at the Earth.

     

Manifestation of solar activity in solar wind particle flux density

An analysis has been made of the origin of long-term variations in flux density of solar wind particles (nv) for different velocity regimes. The study revealed a relationship of these variations to the area of the polar coronal holes (CH). It is shown that within the framework of the model under development, the main longterm variations of nv are a result of the latitude redistribution of the solar wind mass flux in the heliosphere and are due to changes in the large-scale geometry of the solar plasma flow in the corona.

A study has been made of the variations of nv for high speed solar wind streams. It is found that nv in high speed streams which are formed in CH, decreases from minimum to maximum solar activity. The analysis indicates that this decrease is attributable to the magnetic field strength increase in coronal holes.

It has been found that periods of rapid global changes of background magnetic fields on the Sun are accompanied by a reconfiguration of coronal magnetic fields, rapid changes in the length of quiescent filaments, and by an increase in the density of the particle flux of a high speed solar wind. It has been established that these periods precede the formation of CH, corresponding to the increase in solar wind velocity near the Earth and to enhancement of the level of geomagnetic disturbance.     

Dynamic and Thermal Disappearance of Prominences and Their Geoeffectiveness

This paper is a qualitative study of 42 events of solar filament/prominence sudden disappearances (“disparitions brusques”; henceforth DBs) around two solar minima, 1985 – 1986 and 1994. The studied events were classified as 17 thermal and 25 dynamic disappearances. Associated events, i.e. coronal mass ejections (CMEs), type II bursts, evolution of nearby coronal holes, as well as solar wind speed, and geomagnetic disturbances are discussed. We have found that about 50% of the thermal DBs with adjacent (within 15° from the DB) coronal holes were associated with CMEs within a selected time window. All the studied thermal disappearances with adjacent coronal holes or accompanied by dynamic disappearances were associated with weak and medium geomagnetic storms. Also, nearly 64% of dynamic DBs were associated with CMEs. Ten (40%) dynamic disappearances were associated with intense geomagnetic storms, even when no CMEs was reported, six (24%) dynamic disappearances corresponded to extreme storms, and five (20%) corresponded to medium geomagnetic storms. The extreme geomagnetic storms appeared to be related to combined events, involving dynamic disappearances with adjacent coronal holes or including thermal disappearances. Furthermore, the geomagnetic activity (Dst index) increased if the source was close to the central meridian (±30°). The highest interplanetary magnetic field (B), longest duration, lowest southward direction B _z component, and lowest Dst were highly correlated for all studied events. The Sun – Earth transit time computed from the starting time of the sudden disappearance and the time its effect was measured at Earth was about 4.3 days and was mainly well correlated with the solar wind speed measured in situ (daily value).     

冕洞与太阳活动周及地磁活动的演化关系

本文用1970－1995年的冕洞资料，分析了冕洞的分布规律，磁场极性的演化特征和冕洞的地磁效应，以及它们与太阳黑子周期的演化关系，得到了一些有意义的结论。特别指出赤道冕洞和极区冕洞具有相反的演化规律和不同的特征。     

The solar origin of geomagnetic storms

A recent study of associations between geomagnetic storms and solar phenomena has found more associations with solar flares than with coronal holes (Garcia and Dryer, 1987). This disagrees with observations of earthbound transients obtained from IPS imaging which showed that nearly all geomagnetically effective disturbances originated from coronal holes at low latitudes. The discrepancy has arisen because the former study failed to take into account the large angular extent of transient eruptions from coronal holes. It is highly probable that the intense geomagnetic storm of February 1986, discussed by Garcia and Dryer, was caused by a low-latitude coronal hole which was present at that time. This answers their question concerning moderately strong flares that apparently cause major storms, while much larger flares often do not; flares may sometimes be associated with eruptions from coronal holes, but only as peripheral events.     

Ten cycles of solar and geomagnetic activity

Series of 110 years of sunspot numbers and indices of geomagnetic activity are used with 17 years of solar wind data in order to study through solar cycles both stream and shock event solar activity. According to their patterns on Bartels diagrams of geomagnetic indices, stable wind streams and transient solar activities are separated from each other. Two classes of stable streams are identified: equatorial streams occurring sporadically, for several months, during the main phase of sunspot cycles and both polar streams established, for several years, at each cycle, before sunspot minimum. Polar streams are the first activity of solar cycles. For study of the relationship between transient geomagnetic phenomena and sunspot activity, we raise the importance of the contribution, at high spot number, of severe storms and, at low spot number, of short lived and unstable streams. Solar wind data are used to check and complete the above results. As a conclusion, we suggest a unified scheme of solar activity evolution with a starting point every eleventh year, a total duration of 17 years and an overlapping of 6 years between the first and the last phase of both successive series of phenomena: first, from polar field reversal to sunspot minimum, a phase of polar wind activity of the beginning cycle is superimposed on the weak contribution of shock events of the ending cycle; secondly, an equatorial phase mostly of shock events is superimposed on a variable contribution of short lived and sporadic stable equatorial stream activities; and thirdly a phase of low latitude shock events is superimposed on the polar stream interval of the following cycle.
