The knowledge of solar extreme and far ultraviolet (EUV) irradiance variations is essential for the characterization of the
Earth’s upper atmosphere. For a long time, this knowledge has been based on empirical models, which are themselves based on
proxies of the solar activity. However, the accurate modeling and prediction of the Earth’s upper atmosphere necessitate to
improve the precision on the irradiance and its variations below about 200 nm. Here, we present a review of recent works made
by the authors that aim at quantifying the irradiance variability at these wavelengths, and that lead to new way of monitoring
the solar EUV/FUV irradiance spectrum. In more details, it is shown that the quantification of the high level of redundancy
in the solar spectrum variability allows to envisage measuring only a small portion of the spectrum without losing essential
knowledge. Finally, we discuss what should and could be measured in order to retrieve the solar extreme and far ultraviolet
spectrum. 相似文献

The Large Yield Radiometer (LYRA) is an XUV–EUV–MUV (soft X-ray to mid-ultraviolet) solar radiometer onboard the European Space Agency Project for On-Board Autonomy 2 (PROBA2) mission, which was launched in November 2009. LYRA acquires solar-irradiance measurements at a high cadence (nominally 20?Hz) in four broad spectral channels, from soft X-ray to MUV, which have been chosen for their relevance to solar physics, space weather, and aeronomy. We briefly review the design of the instrument, give an overview of the data products distributed through the instrument website, and describe how the data are calibrated. We also briefly present a summary of the main fields of research currently under investigation by the LYRA consortium. 相似文献

The amount of useful scientific data that a space-borne telescope produces is often limited by the available telemetry of
the platform. General purpose image compression schemes are usually used to compress the image either lossy or losslessly.
These schemes do not take into account the fact that pixel values of typical solar images are only known to within a certain
uncertainty range. We present a preprocessing method to enhance the performance (compression ratio) of any subsequent image
compression scheme. The method uses estimates of the photon shot and thermal noises to compute a recoding look-up table that
maps the initial data into uncertainty intervals. The recoding method is lossy in a mathematical sense but lossless in a physical
sense, since the image alterations are guaranteed to be smaller than the Poisson noise. The performance of any further compression
algorithm is enhanced while achieving a known guaranteed maximum absolute error for each pixel in the case of lossless compression.

EIT waves are observed in EUV as bright fronts. Some of these bright fronts propagate across the solar disk. EIT waves are
all associated with a flare and a CME and are commonly interpreted as fast-mode magnetosonic waves. Propagating EIT waves
could also be the direct signature of the gradual opening of magnetic field lines during a CME. We quantitatively addressed
this alternative interpretation. Using two independent 3D MHD codes, we performed nondimensional numerical simulations of
a slowly rotating magnetic bipole, which progressively result in the formation of a twisted magnetic flux tube and its fast
expansion, as during a CME. We analyse the origins, the development, and the observability in EUV of the narrow electric currents
sheets that appear in the simulations. Both codes give similar results, which we confront with two well-known SOHO/EIT observations
of propagating EIT waves (7 April and 12 May 1997), by scaling the vertical magnetic field components of the simulated bipole
to the line of sight magnetic field observed by SOHO/MDI and the sign of helicity to the orientation of the soft X-ray sigmoids
observed by Yohkoh/SXT. A large-scale and narrow current shell appears around the twisted flux tube in the dynamic phase of its expansion. This
current shell is formed by the return currents of the system, which separate the twisted flux tube from the surrounding fields.
It intensifies as the flux tube accelerates and it is co-spatial with weak plasma compression. The current density integrated
over the altitude has the shape of an ellipse, which expands and rotates when viewed from above, reproducing the generic properties
of propagating EIT waves. The timing, orientation, and location of bright and faint patches observed in the two EIT waves
are remarkably well reproduced. We conjecture that propagating EIT waves are the observational signature of Joule heating
in electric current shells, which separate expanding flux tubes from their surrounding fields during CMEs or plasma compression
inside this current shell. We also conjecture that the bright edges of halo CMEs show the plasma compression in these current
shells. 相似文献

We report on observations of the solar luminosity variations in the Fexii line (195 Å) over the period 1996–1999, which corresponds to the minimum and rising phase of the current 23rd solar cycle. The relatively or rather high temporal cadence and spatial resolution of the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) allowed a nearly continuous measurement of intensity of different structures on the Sun. We find that a significant contribution to the longitudinal asymmetry, and thus to the 27-day variability of the solar EUV radiation, is produced by the numerous intermediate brightness elements that are globally distributed over large areas (up to about
of the whole surface of the Sun). When activity is low, this component even becomes dominant over the contribution from localized active regions and bright points. This suggests that weak magnetic field areas outside active regions constitute an important factor through which solar activity modulates the solar EUV luminosity. 相似文献

The Preflight Photometric Calibration of the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope EIT 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This paper presents the preflight photometric calibration of the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The EIT consists of a Ritchey–Chrétien telescope with multilayer coatings applied to four quadrants of the primary and secondary mirrors, several filters and a backside-thinned CCD detector. The quadrants of the EIT optics were used to observe the Sun in 4 wavelength bands that peak near 171, 195, 284, and 304 Å. Before the launch of SOHO, the EIT mirror reflectivities, the filter transmissivities and the CCD quantum efficiency were measured and these values are described here. The instrumental throughput in terms of an effective area is presented for each of the various mirror quadrant and filter wheel combinations. The response to a coronal plasma as a function of temperature is also determined and the expected count rates are compared to the count rates observed in a coronal hole, the quiet Sun and an active region. 相似文献

Solar telescopes will never be able to resolve the smallest events at their intrinsic physical scales. Pixel signals recorded
by SOHO/(CDS, EIT, SUMER), STEREO/SECCHI/ EUVI, TRACE, SDO/AIA, and even by the future Solar Orbiter EUI/HRI contain an inherent “spatial noise” since they represent an average of the solar signal present at subpixel scales.
In this paper, we aim at investigating this spatial noise, and hopefully at extracting information from subpixel scales. Two
paths are explored. We first combine a regularity analysis of a sequence of EIT images with an estimation of the relationship
between mean and standard deviation, and we formulate a scenario for the evolution of the local signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
as the pixel size becomes smaller. Second, we use an elementary forward modeling to examine the relationship between nanoflare
characteristics (such as area, duration, and intensity) and the global mean and standard deviation. We use theoretical distributions
of nanoflare parameters as input to the forward model. A fine-grid image is generated as a random superposition of those pseudo-nanoflares.
Coarser resolution images (simulating images acquired by a telescope) are obtained by rebinning and are used to compute the
mean and standard deviation to be analyzed. Our results show that the local SNR decays more slowly in regions exhibiting irregularities
than in smooth regions. 相似文献

The Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on board the SOHO spacecraft has been operational since 2 January 1996. EIT
observes the Sun over a 45 x 45 arc min field of view in four emission line groups: Feix, x, Fexii, Fexv, and Heii. A post-launch
determination of the instrument flatfield, the instrument scattering function, and the instrument aging were necessary for
the reduction and analysis of the data. The observed structures and their evolution in each of the four EUV bandpasses are
characteristic of the peak emission temperature of the line(s) chosen for that bandpass. Reports on the initial results of
a variety of analysis projects demonstrate the range of investigations now underway: EIT provides new observations of the
corona in the temperature range of 1 to 2 MK. Temperature studies of the large-scale coronal features extend previous coronagraph
work with low-noise temperature maps. Temperatures of radial, extended, plume-like structures in both the polar coronal hole
and in a low latitude decaying active region were found to be cooler than the surrounding material. Active region loops were
investigated in detail and found to be isothermal for the low loops but hottest at the loop tops for the large loops.
Variability of solar EUV structures, as observed in the EIT time sequences, is pervasive and leads to a re-evaluation of the
meaning of the term ‘quiet Sun’. Intensity fluctuations in a high cadence sequence of coronal and chromospheric images correspond
to a Kolmogorov turbulence spectrum. This can be interpreted in terms of a mixed stochastic or periodic driving of the transition
region and the base of the corona. No signature of the photospheric and chromospheric waves is found in spatially averaged
power spectra, indicating that these waves do not propagate to the upper atmosphere or are channeled through narrow local
magnetic structures covering a small fraction of the solar surface. Polar coronal hole observing campaigns have identified
an outflow process with the discovery of transient Fexii jets. Coronal mass ejection observing campaigns have identified the
beginning of a CME in an Fexii sequence with a near simultaneous filament eruption (seen in absorption), formation of a coronal
void and the initiation of a bright outward-moving shell as well as the coronal manifestation of a ‘Moreton wave’.
