The analysis of narrowband drifting of type III-like structures in radio bursts dynamic spectra allows one to obtain unique information about the primary energy release mechanisms in solar flares. The SSRT (Siberian Solar Radio Telescope) spatially resolved images and its high spectral and temporal resolution allow for direct determination not only of the source positions but also of the exciter velocities along the flare loop. Practically, such measurements are possible during some special time intervals when SSRT is observing the flare region in two high-order fringes near 5.7?GHz; thus, two 1D brightness distributions are recorded simultaneously at two frequency bands. The analysis of type III-like bursts recorded during the flare 14?April 2002 is presented. Using multiwavelength radio observations recorded by the SSRT, the Huairou Solar Broadband Radio Spectrometer (SBRS), the Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters (NoRP), and the Radio Solar Telescope Network (RSTN), we study an event with series of several tens of drifting microwave pulses with drift rates in the range from ?7 to 13?GHz?s?1. The sources of the fast-drifting bursts were located near the top of a flare loop in a volume of a few Mm in size. The slow drift of the exciters along the flare loop suggests a high pitch anisotropy of the emitting electrons. 相似文献

We analyze the relationship between the acceleration of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and the energy release in associated
flares, employing a sample of 22 events in which the CME kinematics were measured from the pre-eruption stage up to the post-acceleration
phase. The data show a distinct correlation between the duration of the acceleration phase and the duration of the associated
soft X-ray (SXR) burst rise, whereas the CME peak acceleration and velocity are related to the SXR peak flux. In the majority
of events the acceleration started earlier than the SXR burst, and it is usually prolonged after the SXR burst maximum. In
about one half of the events the acceleration phase is very closely synchronized with the fastest growth of the SXR burst.
An additional one quarter of the events may be still considered as relatively well-synchronized, whereas in the remaining
quarter of the events there is a considerable mismatch. The results are interpreted in terms of the feedback relationship
between the CME dynamics and the reconnection process in the wake of the CME. 相似文献

We analyze the relationship between the dynamics of the coronal mass ejection (CME) of 15 May 2001 and the energy release in the associated flare. The flare took place behind the east limb and was disclosed by a growing system of hot soft X-ray (SXR) loops that appeared from behind the limb around the onset of the rapid acceleration of the CME. The highly correlated behavior of the SXR light-curve derivative and the time profile of the CME acceleration reveals an intrinsic relationship between the CME dynamics and the flare energy release. Furthermore, we found that the CME acceleration peak occurs simultaneously with the fastest growth (100 km s-1) of X-ray loops, indicating that the reconnection plays an essential role in the eruption. Inspecting the CME/flare morphology we recognized in the Yohkoh-SXT images an oval feature that formed within the rising structure at the onset of the rapid acceleration phase, simultaneously with the appearance of the X-ray loops. The eruptive prominence was imbedded within the lower half of the oval, suggestive of a flux-rope/prominence magnetic configuration. We interpret the observed morphological evolution in terms of a reconnection process in the current sheet that presumably formed below the erupting flux-rope at the onset of the CME acceleration. Measurements of the tip-height of the cusped X-ray loop system and the height of the lower edge of the oval, enable us to trace the stretching of the current sheet. The initial distance between the oval and the loops amounted to 35 – 40 Mm. In about 1 h the inferred length of the current sheet increased to 150 – 200 Mm, which corresponds to a mean elongation speed of 35 – 45 km s-1. The results are discussed in the framework of CME models that include the magnetic reconnection below the erupting flux-rope. 相似文献

We analyze the evolution of the flare/postflare-loop system in the two-ribbon flare of November 3, 2003, utilizing multi-wavelength
observations that cover the temperature range from several tens of MK down to 104 K. A non-uniform growth of the loop system enables us to identify analogous patterns in the height–time, h(t), curves measured at different temperatures. The “knees,” “plateaus,” and “bends” in a higher-temperature curve appear after
a certain time delay at lower heights in a lower-temperature curve. We interpret such a shifted replication as a track of
a given set of loops (reconnected field lines) while shrinking and cooling after being released from the reconnection site.
Measurements of the height/time shifts between h(t) curves of different temperatures provide a simultaneous estimate of the shrinkage speed and cooling rate in a given temperature
domain, for a period of almost ten hours after the flare impulsive phase. From the analysis we find the following: (a) Loop
shrinkage is faster at higher temperatures – in the first hour of the loop-system growth, the shrinkage velocity at 5 MK is
20 – 30 km s−1, whereas at 1 MK it amounts to 5 km s−1; (b) Shrinking becomes slower as the flare decays – ten hours after the impulsive phase, the shrinkage velocity at 5 MK becomes
5 km s−1; (c) The cooling rate decreases as the flare decays – in the 5 MK range it is 1 MK min−1 in the first hour of the loop-system growth, whereas ten hours later it decreases to 0.2 MK min−1; (d) During the initial phase of the loop-system growth, the cooling rate is larger at higher temperatures, whereas in the
late phases the cooling rate apparently does not depend on the temperature; (e) A more detailed analysis of shrinking/cooling
around one hour after the impulsive phase reveals a deceleration of the loop shrinkage, amounting to ā ≈ 10 m s−2 in the T < 5 MK range; (f) In the same interval, conductive cooling dominates down to T ≈ 3 MK, whereas radiation becomes dominant below T ≈ 2 MK; (g) A few hours after the impulsive phase, radiation becomes dominant across the whole T < 5 MK range. These findings are compared with results of previous studies and discussed in the framework of relevant models. 相似文献

The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) provides a new tool for the systematic observation of white-light flares, including Doppler and magnetic information as well as continuum. In our initial analysis of the highly impulsive $\mathrm{\gamma}$ -ray flare SOL2010-06-12T00:57 (Martínez Oliveros et al., Solar Phys. 269, 269, 2011), we reported the signature of a strong blueshift in the two footpoint sources. Concerned that this might be an artifact due to aliasing peculiar to the HMI instrument, we undertook a comparative analysis of Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG++) observations of the same flare, using the PArametric Smearing Correction ALgorithm (PASCAL) algorithm to correct for artifacts caused by variations in atmospheric smearing. This analysis confirms the artifactual nature of the apparent blueshift in the HMI observations, finding weak redshifts at the footpoints instead. We describe the use of PASCAL with GONG++ observations as a complement to the SDO observations and discuss constraints imposed by the use of HMI far from its design conditions. With proper precautions, these data provide rich information on flares and transients. 相似文献

In this paper, we investigate the energy spectra produced by a simple test particle X-point model of a solar flare for different
configurations of the initial electromagnetic field. We find that once the reconnection electric field is larger than 1 Vm-1 the particle distribution transits from a heated one to a partially accelerated one. As we close the separatrices of the
X-point and the angle in the inflow direction widens we find that more particles are accelerated out of the thermal distribution
and this power–law component extends to lower energies. When we introduce a guiding magnetic field component we find that
more particles are energised, but only up to a maximum energy dictated primarily by the reconnection electric field. Despite
being able to accelerate particles to observable energies and demonstrate behaviour in the energy spectra that is consistent
with observations, this single X-line model can only deliver the number fluxes required for microflares. 相似文献

We analyse four solar flares which have energetic hard X-ray emissions, but unusually low soft X-ray flux and GOES class (C1.0–C5.5). These are compared with two other flares that have soft and hard X-ray emission consistent with a generally observed correlation that shows increasing hard X-ray accompanied by increasing soft X-ray flux. We find that in the four small flares only a small percentage of the nonthermal electron beam energy is deposited in a location where the heating rate of the electron beam exceeds the radiative cooling rate of the ambient plasma. Most of the beam energy is subsequently radiated away into the cool chromosphere and so cannot power chromospheric evaporation thus reducing the soft X-ray emission. We also demonstrate that in the four small flares the nonthermal electron beam energy is insufficient to power the soft X-ray emitting plasma. We deduce that an additional energy source is required, and this could be provided by a DC-electric field (where quasi-static electric field channels in the coronal loops accelerate electrons, and those electrons with velocity below a critical velocity will heat the ambient plasma via Joule heating) in preference to a loop-top thermal source (where heat flux deposited in the corona is conducted along magnetic field lines to the chromosphere, heating the coronal plasma and giving rise to further chromospheric evaporation). 相似文献

We present Hα observations from ARIES (Nainital) of a compact and impulsive solar flare that occurred on March 10, 2001 and
which was associated with a CME. We have also analyzed HXT, SXT/Yohkoh observations as well as radio observations from the Nobeyama Radio Observatory to derive the energetics and dynamics of this
impulsive flare. We coalign the Hα, SXR, HXR, MW, and magnetogram images within the instrumental spatial-resolution limit.
We detect a single HXR source in this flare, which is found spatially associated with one of the Hα bright kernels. The unusual
feature of HXR and Hα sources, observed for the first time, is the rotation during the impulsive phase in a clockwise direction.
We propose that the rotation may be due to asymmetric progress of the magnetic reconnection site or may be due to the change
of the peak point of the electric field. In MW emission we found two sources. The main source is at the main flare site and
another is in the southwest direction. It appears that the remote source is formed by the impact of accelerated energetic
electrons from the main flare site. From the spatial correlation of multiwavelength images of the different sources, we conclude
that this flare has a three-legged structure. 相似文献

The effect of a neutron-proton vortex system on the rotation dynamics of neutron stars is examined. The dynamics of the motion of a two component superfluid system in the core of a neutron star yields an equation for the evolution of the pulsar's rotation period. The spin down of the star owing to energy release at the core boundary, which is associated with a contraction of the length of the neutron vortex as it moves radially and magnetic energy of the vortical cluster is released, is taken into account. Evolutionary curves are constructed for pulsars with different magnetic fields and stellar radii. For certain values of the coefficient of friction between the superfluid and normal components in the core of the neutron star, at the end of its evolution a radio pulsar may become an anomalous x-ray pulsar or a source of soft gamma radiation with a period on the order of 10 seconds. 相似文献

A series of flares (GOES class M, M and C) and a CME were observed in close succession on 20 January 2004 in NOAA 10540. Radio
observations, which took the form of types II, III and N bursts, were associated with these events. We use the combined observations
from TRACE, EIT, Hα images from Kwasan, MDI magnetograms and GOES to understand the complex development of this event. Contrary
to a standard interpretation, we conclude that the first two impulsive flares are part of the CME launch process while the
following long-duration event flare represents simply the recovery phase. Observations show that the flare ribbons not only
separate but also shift along the magnetic inversion line so that magnetic reconnection progresses stepwise to neighboring
flux tubes. We conclude that “tether cutting” reconnection in the sheared arcade progressively transforms it to a twisted
flux tube, which becomes unstable, leading to a CME. We interpret the third flare, a long-duration event, as a combination
of the classical two-ribbon flare with the relaxation process following forced reconnection between the expanding CME structure
and neighboring magnetic fields.

The problem of pressure limitations on the rate of flux pile-up magnetic reconnection is studied. We first examine the recent suggestion of Jardine and Allen (1998) for moderating the build-up of magnetic pressure in the current sheet by considering inflows with nonzero vorticity. An analytic argument shows, however, that unbounded magnetic pressures in the limit of small resistivities can be avoided only at the cost of unphysical dynamic pressures in the plasma. Hence, the pressure limitation on the reconnection rate in a low-beta plasma cannot be avoided completely. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that reconnection can be more rapid in a new solution that balances the build-up in dynamic pressure against both the plasma and magnetic pressures. This exact MHD solution has the characteristics of merging driven by the coalescence instability. The maximum energy release rate of the model is capable of explaining a modest solar flare. 相似文献

We studied the evolution of a small eruptive flare (GOES class C1) from its onset phase using multi-wavelength observations
that sample the flare atmosphere from the chromosphere to the corona. The main instruments involved were the Coronal Diagnostic
Spectrometer (CDS) aboard SOHO and facilities at the Dunn Solar Tower of the National Solar Observatory/Sacramento Peak. Transition
Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) together with Ramaty High-Energy Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) also provided images and
spectra for this flare. Hα and TRACE images display two loop systems that outline the pre-reconnection and post-reconnection magnetic field lines and
their topological changes revealing that we are dealing with an eruptive confined flare. RHESSI data do not record any detectable
emission at energies ≥25 keV, and the observed count spectrum can be well fitted with a thermal plus a non-thermal model of
the photon spectrum. A non-thermal electron flux F ≈ 5 × 1010 erg cm−2 s−1 is determined. The reconstructed images show a very compact source whose peak emission moves along the photospheric magnetic
inversion line during the flare. This is probably related to the motion of the reconnection site, hinting at an arcade of
small loops that brightens successively. The analysis of the chromospheric spectra (Ca II K, He I D3 and Hγ, acquired with a four-second temporal cadence) shows the presence of a downward velocity (between 10 and 20 km s−1) in a small region intersected by the spectrograph slit. The region is included in an area that, at the time of the maximum
X-ray emission, shows upward motions at transition region (TR) and coronal levels. For the He I 58.4 and O v 62.97 lines, we determine a velocity of ≈−40 km s−1 while for the Fe XIX 59.22 line a velocity of ≈−80 km s−1 is determined with a two-component fitting. The observations are discussed in the framework of available hydrodynamic simulations
and they are consistent with the scenario outlined by Fisher (1989). No explosive evaporation is expected for a non-thermal
electron beam of the observed characteristics, and no gentle evaporation is allowed without upward chromospheric motion. It
is suggested that the energy of non-thermal electrons can be dissipated to heat the high-density plasma, where possibly the
reconnection occurs. The consequent conductive flux drives the evaporation process in a regime that we can call sub-explosive. 相似文献
