The aim of this paper is to determine the flux emergence rate due to small-scale magnetic features in the quiet Sun using
high-resolution Hinode SOT NFI data. Small-scale magnetic features are identified in the data using two different feature identification methods
(clumping and downhill); then three methods are applied to detect flux emergence events. The distribution of the intranetwork
peak emerged fluxes is determined. When combined with previous emergence results, from ephemeral regions to sunspots, the
distribution of all fluxes are found to follow a power-law distribution which spans nearly seven orders of magnitude in flux
(1016 – 1023 Mx) and 18 orders of magnitude in frequency. The power-law fit to all these data is of the form
\fracdNdY = \fracn0Y0\fracYY0-2.7,\frac{\mathrm{d}N}{\mathrm{d}\Psi} = \frac{n_0}{\Psi_0}\frac{\Psi}{\Psi _0}^{-2.7}, 相似文献

The Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) gives us a chance to investigate the theoretical Neupert effect using the correlation between the thermal-energy
derivative and the nonthermal energy, or the thermal energy and the integral nonthermal energy. Based on this concept, we
analyze four M-class RHESSI flares on 13 November 2003, 4 November 2004, 3 and 25 August 2005. According to the evolution
of the temperature [T], emission measure [EM], and thermal energy [E
th], each event is divided into three phases during the nonthermal-energy input [
\frac dEnthdt\frac {\mathrm{d}E_{\mathrm{nth}}}{\mathrm{d}t} in the units of erg s−1]. Phase 1 is identified as the interval before the temperature maximum, while after the thermal-energy maximum is phase 3,
between them is phase 2. We find that these four flares show the Neupert effect in phase 1, but not in phase 3. The Neupert
effect still works well in the second phase, although the cooling becomes slightly important. We define the parameter μ in the relation of
\fracdEthdt=m\fracdEnth(t)dt\frac{\mathrm {d}E_{\mathrm{th}}}{\mathrm{d}t}=\mu\frac{\mathrm{d}E_{\mathrm {nth}}(t)}{\mathrm{d}t} or
Eth(t0)=mò0t0\fracdEnth(t)dt dtE_{\mathrm{th}}(t_{0})=\mu\int_{0}^{t_{0}}\frac{\mathrm{d}E_{\mathrm{nth}}(t)}{\mathrm{d}t}\,\mathrm{d}t when the cooling is ignored in phase 1. Considering the uncertainties in estimating the energy from the observations, it
is not possible to precisely determine the fraction of the known energy in the nonthermal electrons transformed into the thermal
energy of the hottest plasma observed by RHESSI. After a rough estimate of the flare volume and the assumption of the filling
factor, we investigate the parameter μ in these four events. Its value ranges from 0.02 to 0.20, indicating that a small fraction (2% – 20%) of the nonthermal energy
can be efficiently transformed into thermal energy, which is traced by the soft X-ray emission, and the bulk of the energy
is lost possibly due to cooling. 相似文献

The results of flux pulsar radioemission measurements at meter wavelengths, made at Pushchino Radio Astronomical Observatory
of the Lebedev Physical Institute, are presented. Flux densities at 102, 85, 61 and 39 MHz have been measured for 85, 29,
37 and 23 pulsars correspondingly. Some of them were performed at all frequencies simultaneously.
On the basis of these data and high frequencies data obtained by other authors, spectra of 52 pulsars were plotted. In practically
all investigated pulsars we have detected a turn-over frequency at which the flux density of pulsar radioemission attained
its maximum. Its mean value isv
m
=130±80 MHz. Averaged on many pulsars, the spectral index is negative in the 39–61 MHz frequency range
and passes through zero at frequencies of about 100 MHz, becoming positive in the 100–400 MHz frequency range. It was noticed
that the spectral index in the 100–400 MHz interval depends upon such pulsar periods as α100−=0.7logp+0.9. Using the spectra, more precise radio luminosities of pulsars have been computed. 相似文献

A theory of pulsar radio emission generation, in which the observed waves are produced directly by the maser-type plasma instabilities
on the anomalous cyclotron-Cherenkov resonance
and the Cherenkov-drift resonance
, is capable of explaining the main observational characteristics of pulsar radio emission. The instabilities are due to the
interaction of the fast particles of the primary beam and from the tail of the distribution with the normal modes of a strongly
magnetized one-dimensional electron-positron plasma. The waves emitted at these resonances are vacuum-like electromagnetic
waves that may leave the magnetosphere directly. The cyclotron-Cherenkov instability is responsible for core emission pattern
and the Cherenkov-drift instability produces conal emission. The conditions for the development of the cyclotron-Cherenkov
instability are satisfied for the both typical and millisecond pulsars provided that the streaming energy of the bulk plasma
is not very high γ
p
= 5 ÷ 10. In a typical pulsar the cyclotron-Cherenkov and Cherenkov-drift resonances occur in the outer parts of magnetosphere
at r
res
≈ 109cm. This theory can account for various aspects of pulsar phenomenology including the morphology of the pulses, their polarization
properties and spectral behavior.

Stochastic temperatures and turbulence are characterized by average velocities u

and < u
turb
> ≡ u
0 and fluctuations u¢th {u'_{th}} and u′ (<u′ > = 0). Thus, the Doppler width of a line also has a fluctuating component Dl¢D \Delta {\lambda '_D} . Observed spectra correspond to the radiative flux averaged over time and over a star’s surface, <Hλ>. Usually, only the average velocities u
th
and u
0 are taken into account in photospheric models and these yield the Doppler width DlD(0) \Delta \lambda_D^{(0)} of a line in the customary way. The fluctuations Dl¢D \Delta {\lambda '_D} mean that near a line center the average absorption coefficient < αλ > is larger than the usual αλ, which depends only on the average velocities u
th
and u
0. This enhances the absorption line near the center and is not explained by the photospheric models. This new statistical
effect depends on the wavelength of the line. A comparison of observed lines with model profiles yields an estimate for the
average level of fluctuations in the Doppler width, h =
á | Dl¢D |
ñ | / |
DlD(0) \eta = {{{\left\langle {\left| {\Delta {{\lambda '}_D}} \right|} \right\rangle }} \left/ {{\Delta \lambda_D^{(0)}}} \right.} , which characterizes the average stochasticity of a photosphere and is important for understanding the physics of photospheres.
The depths of lines in synthetic spectra of stars are often greater than the observed values. The observed disagreement between
the theoretical and actually observed depths of lines can be corrected by introducing an additional parameter, the fluctuation
level η. Then it is possible to obtain estimates of η for a number of stars. 相似文献

A method is proposed for constructing a map of the electron density distribution in the galactic plane. Data on the dispersion
measures DM of more than 1500 pulsars and their distances, found by an independent method, are used. The independent distances
of the pulsars are estimated using an empirical relation of the form L=γP

δ between the radio luminosity L of the pulsars and their periods P, the rate of change Ṗ. of their periods, and the half width W of their pulses. A map of the electron density distribution in the galactic plane
within a ±400 pc layer is provided.

In an attempt to examine whether the spectroscopic Doppler method with an iodine cell (which is known to be successful for
precise radial-velocity determinations in stellar astronomy) could be effective for investigating the solar differential rotation,
we carried out intensive observations to collect spectra at a large number of points on the solar disk by using the Domeless
Solar Telescope along with the horizontal spectrograph of the Hida Observatory. Having converted the resulting line-of-sight
velocity component into the angular rotational rate (ω), we derived a differential rotation law, wsidereal (deg day-1) = 14.03 (±0.06)-1.84 (±0.57) sin2y-1.92 (±0.85) sin4y\omega_{\mathrm{sidereal}}\; (\mathrm{deg}\,\mathrm{day}^{-1}) =14.03 (\pm0.06)-1.84 (\pm0.57) \sin^{2}\psi-1.92 (\pm0.85) \sin^{4}\psi (ψ: heliographic latitude), which is reasonably consistent with other spectroscopic determinations published so far. Our analysis
also revealed several practical points to note for successful application (e.g., exclusion of those data that are not well distant from the meridian; mutual data subtraction/averaging for symmetric counterparts
at the eastern and western hemisphere). Considering its easiness and cheapness, this iodine-cell-featured spectroscopic method
may be regarded as an effective and practical tool for studying the differential rotation of the Sun. 相似文献

We investigate the radiative and conductive cooling in the solar flare observed by RHESSI on 2005 September 13. The radiative
and conductive loss energies are estimated from the observations after the flare onset. Consistent with previous findings,
the cooling is increased with time, especially the radiation becomes remarkable on the later phase of flare. According our
method, about half of thermal energy is traced by RHESSI soft X-rays, while the other half is lost by the radiative (∼38%)
and conductive (∼9%) cooling at end of the hard X-rays in this event. The nonthermal energy input of P
nth (inferred from RHESSI hard X-ray spectrum) is not well correlated with the derivative of thermal energy of
\fracdEthdt\frac{\mathrm{d}E_{\mathrm{th}}}{\mathrm{d}t} (required to radiate the RHESSI soft X-ray flux and spectrum) alone. However, after consideration the radiation and conduction,
a high correlation is obtained between the derivative of total thermal energy (
\fracdEth+Erad+Econddt\frac{\mathrm{d}E_{\mathrm{th}}+E_{\mathrm{rad}}+E_{\mathrm{cond}}}{\mathrm{d}t}) and nonthermal energy input (P
nth) from the flare start to end, indicating the relative importance of conductive and direct radiative losses during the solar
flare development. Ignoring the uncertainties to estimate the energy from the observations, we find that about ∼12% fraction
of the known energy is transferred into the thermal energy for the 2005 September 13 flare. 相似文献

We present some results based on optical photometry of an unbiased subsample of 64 sources, from a sample of radio quasars
80 per cent complete. The quasars (z=0.4-2.8) show approximately a similar spectral energy distribution (SED). Only two quasars
appear clearly differenciated, exhibiting redder colours than the rest, and they have low or moderate redshifts (z=0.50 and
1.12). Composite broad-band spectra for the remaining 62 quasars reveal the presence of a break in the SED at ∼ 3000 Å, where
the average slope α (defined by Sν ∝ να) changes from αblue=0.11±0.16 at λ>3000 Å to αUV=-0.66±0.15 at λ<3000 Å. Composite spectra from a low and a high redshift subsample, with the redshift separation at the median
value z=1.2, yields αUV=-0.87±0.20, for z<1.2 and αUV=-0.48±0.12 for z>1.2 and the difference is 98 per cent significant. This trend could be intrinsic or could arise from a dependence
between αUV and the blue/UV luminosity, since the three quantities αUV - Lblue/UV - z are correlated. Finally, an intrinsic correlation is found between blue/UV and radio luminosity.

The rationale behind recent calibrations of the Cepheid PL relation using the Wesenheit formulation is reviewed and reanalyzed,
and it is shown that recent conclusions regarding a possible change in slope of the PL relation for short-period and long-period
Cepheids are tied to a pathological distribution of HST calibrators within the instability strip. A recalibration of the period-luminosity relation is obtained using Galactic Cepheids
in open clusters and groups, the resulting relationship, described by log L/L
⊙=2.415(±0.035)+1.148(±0.044)log P, exhibiting only the moderate scatter expected from color spread within the instability strip. The relationship is confirmed
by Cepheids with HST parallaxes, although without the need for Lutz-Kelker corrections, and in general by Cepheids with revised Hipparcos parallaxes, albeit with concerns about the cited precisions of the latter. A Wesenheit formulation of W
V
=−2.259(±0.083)−4.185(±0.103)log P for Galactic Cepheids is tested successfully using Cepheids in the inner regions of the galaxy NGC 4258, confirming the independent
geometrical distance established for the galaxy from OH masers. Differences between the extinction properties of interstellar
and extragalactic dust may yet play an important role in the further calibration of the Cepheid PL relation and its application
to the extragalactic distance scale. 相似文献

We compute the ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrino fluxes from plausible accreting supermassive black holes closely linking to the 377 active galactic nuclei (AGNs). They have well-determined black hole masses collected from the literature. The neutrinos are produced via simple or modified URCA processes, even after the neutrino trapping, in superdense proto-matter medium. The resulting fluxes are ranging from: (1) (quark reactions)— $J^{q}_{\nu\varepsilon}/(\varepsilon_{d}\ \mathrm{erg}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}\,\mathrm{sr}^{-1})\simeq8.29\times 10^{-16}$ to 3.18×10?4, with the average $\overline{J}^{q}_{\nu\varepsilon}\simeq5.53\times 10^{-10}\varepsilon_{d}\ \mathrm{erg}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}\,\mathrm{sr}^{-1}$ , where ε d ~10?12 is the opening parameter; (2) (pionic reactions)— $J^{\pi}_{\nu\varepsilon} \simeq0.112J^{q}_{\nu\varepsilon}$ , with the average $J^{\pi}_{\nu\varepsilon} \simeq3.66\times 10^{-11}\varepsilon_{d}\ \mathrm{erg}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}\,\mathrm{sr}^{-1}$ ; and (3) (modified URCA processes)— $J^{URCA}_{\nu\varepsilon}\simeq7.39\times10^{-11} J^{q}_{\nu\varepsilon}$ , with the average $\overline{J}^{URCA}_{\nu\varepsilon} \simeq2.41\times10^{-20} \varepsilon_{d}\ \mathrm{erg}\,\mathrm{cm}^{-2}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}\,\mathrm{sr}^{-1}$ . We conclude that the AGNs are favored as promising pure neutrino sources, because the computed neutrino fluxes are highly beamed along the plane of accretion disk, peaked at high energies and collimated in smaller opening angle θ~ε d . 相似文献

We study the 17 January 2010 flare–CME–wave event by using STEREO/SECCHI-EUVI and -COR1 data. The observational study is combined with an analytic model that simulates the evolution of the coronal wave phenomenon associated with the event. From EUV observations, the wave signature appears to be dome shaped having a component propagating on the solar surface ( $\overline{v}\approx280~\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ ) as well as one off-disk ( $\overline{v}\approx 600~\mathrm{km}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ ) away from the Sun. The off-disk dome of the wave consists of two enhancements in intensity, which conjointly develop and can be followed up to white-light coronagraph images. Applying an analytic model, we derive that these intensity variations belong to a wave–driver system with a weakly shocked wave, initially driven by expanding loops, which are indicative of the early evolution phase of the accompanying CME. We obtain the shock standoff distance between wave and driver from observations as well as from model results. The shock standoff distance close to the Sun (<?0.3 R ⊙ above the solar surface) is found to rapidly increase with values of ≈?0.03?–?0.09 R ⊙, which gives evidence of an initial lateral (over)expansion of the CME. The kinematical evolution of the on-disk wave could be modeled using input parameters that require a more impulsive driver (duration t=90 s, acceleration a=1.7 km?s?2) compared to the off-disk component (duration t=340 s, acceleration a=1.5 km?s?2). 相似文献

The Kuiper-Belt Object (29981) 1999 TD10, classified as a Scattered-Disk Object, has been observed at three different phase angles with the ESO 8.2-m VLT and FORS 1 instrument in polarimetric mode in November and December 2003. These observations have been used to compute the Stokes parameter q, which represents the linear polarization degree. We have also used the previously published photometric observations to improve the R-band phase function. The main conclusions are as follows: (i) a negative linear polarization degree decreasing with phase angle α up to, at least, α=3°, (ii) for α=3°, (iii) a possible color effect between the R and V band, the polarization degree being more negative in R. The R-band polarimetric observations can be explained by the coherent-backscattering mechanism and fitted by a two-component Rayleigh-scatterer model for a spherical small body. The rotation period of 15.382±0.001 h published by Mueller et al. (2004, Icarus
171, 506–515) and Choi et al. (2003, Icarus
165, 101–111) is confirmed. The R-band phase curve provides H=8.35±0.02 and G=−0.25±0.022 parameters with the IAU H–G formalism.Based on observations obtained at the Cerro Paranal observatory of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile. 相似文献

We present the first in-depth statistical survey of flare source heights observed by RHESSI. Flares were found using a flare-finding
algorithm designed to search the 6 – 10 keV count-rate when RHESSI’s full sensitivity was available in order to find the smallest
events (Christe et al. in Astrophys. J.
677, 1385, 2008). Between March 2002 and March 2007, a total of 25 006 events were found. Source locations were determined in the 4 – 10 keV,
10 – 15 keV, and 15 – 30 keV energy ranges for each event. In order to extract the height distribution from the observed projected
source positions, a forward-fit model was developed with an assumed source height distribution where height is measured from
the photosphere. We find that the best flare height distribution is given by g(h)∝exp (−h/λ) where λ=6.1±0.3 Mm is the scale height. A power-law height distribution with a negative power-law index, γ=3.1±0.1 is also consistent with the data. Interpreted as thermal loop-top sources, these heights are compared to loops generated
by a potential-field model (PFSS). The measured flare heights distribution are found to be much steeper than the potential-field
loop height distribution, which may be a signature of the flare energization process. 相似文献

This addendum uses an alternate fit for the electron density distribution \(N(r)\) (see Figure 1) and estimates the coronal magnetic field using the new model. We find that the estimates of the magnetic field are in close agreement using both the models.

We report solar flare plasma to be multi-thermal in nature based on the theoretical model and study of the energy-dependent
timing of thermal emission in ten M-class flares. We employ high-resolution X-ray spectra observed by the Si detector of the
“Solar X-ray Spectrometer” (SOXS). The SOXS onboard the Indian GSAT-2 spacecraft was launched by the GSLV-D2 rocket on 8 May
2003. Firstly we model the spectral evolution of the X-ray line and continuum emission flux F(ε) from the flare by integrating a series of isothermal plasma flux. We find that the multi-temperature integrated flux F(ε) is a power-law function of ε with a spectral index (γ)≈−4.65. Next, based on spectral-temporal evolution of the flares we find that the emission in the energy range E=4 – 15 keV is dominated by temperatures of T=12 – 50 MK, while the multi-thermal power-law DEM index (δ) varies in the range of −4.4 and −5.7. The temporal evolution of the X-ray flux F(ε,t) assuming a multi-temperature plasma governed by thermal conduction cooling reveals that the temperature-dependent cooling
time varies between 296 and 4640 s and the electron density (n
e) varies in the range of n
e=(1.77 – 29.3)×1010 cm−3. Employing temporal evolution technique in the current study as an alternative method for separating thermal from nonthermal
components in the energy spectra, we measure the break-energy point, ranging between 14 and 21±1.0 keV. 相似文献

We estimate the electron density, \(n_{\mathrm{e}}\), and its spatial variation in quiescent prominences from the observed emission ratio of the resonance lines Na?i?5890 Å (D2) and Sr?ii?4078 Å. For a bright prominence (\(\tau_{\alpha}\approx25\)) we obtain a mean \(n_{\mathrm{e}}\approx2\times10^{10}~\mbox{cm}^{-3}\); for a faint one (\(\tau _{\alpha }\approx4\)) \(n_{\mathrm{e}}\approx4\times10^{10}~\mbox{cm}^{-3}\) on two consecutive days with moderate internal fluctuation and no systematic variation with height above the solar limb. The thermal and non-thermal contributions to the line broadening, \(T_{\mathrm{kin}}\) and \(V_{\mathrm{nth}}\), required to deduce \(n_{\mathrm{e}}\) from the emission ratio Na?i/Sr?ii cannot be unambiguously determined from observed widths of lines from atoms of different mass. The reduced widths, \(\Delta\lambda_{\mathrm{D}}/\lambda_{0}\), of Sr?ii?4078 Å show an excess over those from Na?D2 and \(\mbox{H}\delta\,4101\) Å, assuming the same \(T_{\mathrm{kin}}\) and \(V_{\mathrm{nth}}\). We attribute this excess broadening to higher non-thermal broadening induced by interaction of ions with the prominence magnetic field. This is suggested by the finding of higher macro-shifts of Sr?ii?4078 Å as compared to those from Na?D2. 相似文献
