Solar flares,microflares, nanoflares,and coronal heating

Solar flare occurrence follows a power-law distribution against total flare energy W: dN/dW W ^– with an index 1.8 as determined by several studies. This implies (a) that microflares must have a different, steeper distribution if they are energetically significant, and (b) there must be a high-energy cutoff of the observed distribution. We identify the distinct soft distribution needed for coronal heating, if such a distribution exists, with Parker's nanoflares.This paper considers a microflare to be a member of the normal X-ray burst population, with comparable physical parameters except for a smaller total energy.

, . , , . , , -, This article investigates the dynamics of a system for damping the nutating motion of a spin-stabilized satellite. The equations of motion of the satellite-damper system are derived omitting consideration of the influence of external torques. The conditions of stability of the stationary spinning are obtained and the optimal parameters of the satellite and the damper ensuring a maximal rate of damping of the nutation motion are determined.     

Sur les solutions Lagrangiennes et euleriennes du probleme generalise des trois corps en axes absolus

Résumé Le présent travail est une continuation d'un autre, publié plus tôt (Doubochine, 1970). On montre ici, que les propriétés des mouvements Lagrangiens et Euleriens établies en mécanique céleste classique sont vraies aussi dans les cas plus généraux, envisagés dans le travail indiqué. On montre de plus, que les trajectoires des points en ces mouvements en axes absolus sont les spirales infinies s'enroulant sur les surfaces des cylindres curvilignes infinis.

Spatial development of X-ray emission during the impulsive phase of a solar flare

The flare of 11 November, 1980, 1725 UT occurred in a magnetically complex region. It was preceded by some ten minutes by a gradual flare originating over the magnetic inversion line, close to a small sunspot. This seems to have triggered the main flare (at 70 000 km distance) which originated between a large sunspot and the inversion line. The main flare started at 172320 UT with a slight enhancement of hard X-rays (E > 30 keV) accompanied by the formation of a dark loop between two H bright ribbons. In 3–8 keV X-rays a southward expansion started at the same time, with - 500 km s ^–1. At the same time a surge-like expansion started. It was observable slightly later in H, with southward velocities of 200 km s^–1. The dark H loop dissolved at 1724 UT at which time several impulsive phenomena started such as a complex of hard X-ray bursts localized in a small area. At the end of the impulsive phase at 172540 UT, a coronal explosion occurred directed southward with an initial expansion velocity of 1800 km s^–1, decreasing in 40 s to 500 km s^–1.Now at Fokker Aircraft Industries, Schiphol, The Netherlands.

Drift Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in space plasmas

We implement a complex-plane strategy and a multiple partition technique to the computation of polytropic models distorted by very strong and very rapid differential rotation. We also verify with our numerical results a heuristic relation between stability and virial theorem.

This paper is a continuation and a generalization of one published earlier (Duboshin, 1969): it discusses the problem whether there exist the Lagrangian and the Eulerian solutions of the generalized three-body (material points) problem. Every point in this generalized problem acts on another, one with a force (attractive or repulsive) directed along the straight line passing through these points, and in an arbitrary manner depending on time, mutual distance and its derivatives, the first and the second. Here, generally speaking, the third axiom of dynamics (law of action and reaction) is not presupposed as fulfilled, that is, it is supposed that every two material points interact in a different way.This most general assumption being made, we establish the conditions which must dictate the laws of the interactions, so that the three points can always remain at the apexes of the equilateral triangle (Langrangian solution), or remain always on a straight line (Eulerian solution).The author believes that such general treatment of the three-body problem can be useful for theoretical studies in celestial mechanics and also for practical applications in the study of isolated stellar systems.

     

Spectrograph,filtergraph and magnetograph observations of the two-ribbon flare of 29 July, 1973

We present high resolution detailed observations of the class 3N two-ribbon flare of 1973, July 29 (McMath 12461), which was associated with the disappearance of a large filament (disparition brusque). This flare occurred in a diffuse bipolar magnetic region completely devoid of sunspots, and was further associated with a type IV radio burst and a soft X-ray event. Extensive H filtergraph, spectrograph and magnetograph records during the main phase of the flare suggest that downfalling and streaming material is present on both ribbons for several hours during the H emission enhancement, but only at a small number of points located both on and off the ribbons. We find a poor spatial correspondence between bright emission knots in the H ribbons and the positions of the observed downward motion. We conclude that the model of infall-impact of Hyder (1967a, b) is not consistent with our filtergraph and spectrograph observations.Presently at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

A search for soft X-ray emission from stellar sources

With the soft X-ray detector (0.2–0.284 keV) aboard the Astronomical Netherlands Satellite (ANS) we have searched for X-ray emission from hot star coronae and peculiar stars. On Sirius ( CMa) and Capella ( Aur) X-ray emission has been measured at 6 and 5 level, respectively, above background. In all other cases the search revealed no evidence for soft X-ray emission. Upper limits to the luminosities of about 25 star coronae (main-sequence stars, (sub)giants, and supergiants) and of 4 peculiar stars ( Sco, Lyr, P Cyg, and Car) have been obtained.Paper presented at the COSPAR/IAU Symposium on Fast Transients in X-and Gamma-Rays, held at Varna, Bulgaria, 29–31 May, 1975.     

Research on sunspot Oscillations – I. The Pulkovo CCD Spectroheliograph-Magnetograph

The CCD spectroheliograph-magnetograph is a focal-plane ancillary instrument for the Pulkovo horizontal solar telescope ACU-5. The instrument is placed at an exit port of an isothermal high-resolution diffraction-grating spectrograph. A modified Leighton optical scheme for registration of sunspot magnetic fields is used. The instrument provides FITS-format digital video maps of radial velocities, magnetic fields, and spectroheliograms in any line of the spectral region 3900–11000 Å. The time to obtain one video map of size 91×154 is equal to 10.24 s. The angular resolution of the instrument is 0.8; spectral resolution is 0.01–0.03 Å. Since 1996 the Pulkovo CCD spectroheliograph-magnetograph has been used to obtain high spatial and temporal resolution observations of oscillations of radial velocities and magnetic fields in the photospheric layers of sunspots.

On a possible mechanism responsible for the differential energy spectrum of relativistic electrons and non-linear low-frequency spectra of cosmic radio sources

The paper suggests an explanation of the deviations from the power law which are observed in frequency spectra of discrete radio sources at decametric wavelengths. It has been shown that a possible mechanism of the deviations is a combined effect of the stimulated and spontaneous scattering of relativistic electrons in the turbulent plasma of a source, as well as ionization energy losses thereof. The distribution function of the relativistic electrons, empirically established in an earlier paper (Braudeet al., 1971) has been derived from the kinetic equation. For a number of discrete sources the turbulence energy density and the plasma concentration are deduced with the aid of experimental data on low-frequency radio spectra.
