磁对流湍流对太阳P模振动的影响(英文)

为了进一步探索太阳对流区的物理性质 ,我们利用高精度N的日震观测数据来研究太阳内部扰动磁场对低阶太阳P模振动的影响。对于一个时间相关的MHD湍流源 ,我们给出了导致频率变化的各种可能性。如果只考虑磁扰动的贡献 ,不同值的振动模的频率变化仅只是涨落磁场能谱的函数。我们发现频率的变化随着太阳内部磁场强度增加而变大 ,并且和太阳活动周期密切相关。我们的计算表明太阳磁活动导致的频率变化可达 0 .3μΗz。     

The betatron effect in collapsing magnetic traps

We consider the question of how the betatron effect affects the particle acceleration in a magnetic trap with a rapidly decreasing length. We show that the additional increase in energy caused by the betatron acceleration as the trap contracts is exactly offset by the decrease in the time of particle confinement in the trap, because the loss cone becomes larger during the contraction. As a result, the particle energy at the time of escape from the trap remains the same as that in a collapsing trap without contraction. We estimate the Alfvén-pumping efficiency in a collapsing trap in connection with the problem of particle acceleration in solar flares. The additional energy acquired by particles from magnetic-field oscillations is shown to be negligible. We discuss the possible observational manifestations of the betatron effect in solar flares.     

Magnetic aggregation: II. Laboratory and microgravity experiments

In a previous publication (Dominik and Nübold, 2002, Icarus 157, 173-186), we presented analytical expressions and theoretical considerations concerning preplanetary dust aggregation with magnetized grains in the solar nebula. The present work is dedicated to the experimental study of magnetic aggregation in a ground-based laboratory as well as under microgravity conditions on parabolic flights. We conducted aggregation experiments with dust analogues in order to study the temporal evolution and the structural outcome of grain growth processes dominated by or comprising exclusively magnetic grains. Within aggregation times ranging from a couple of seconds to a few minutes only, formation of huge chain-like and/or web-like dust aggregates was observed. After aggregate retrieval we were able to study the sizes and structures of the aggregates in great detail. We established the fractal dimension of the aggregates as D_fs=1.20±0.05 for single chains and D_fc=1.50±0.21 for inter-connected web-like structures. This is considerably lower than for non-magnetic grain growth. The dynamic exponent z for the mass increase with time according to t^z was found to be z=2.7 from in-situ video images of the microgravity aggregation runs. The results are compared with the theoretical considerations presented earlier as well as with previous experimental work on the same and on related topics, respectively.     

Investigation of Weakly Magnetic CP Stars. I

The magnetic fields of a sample of chemically peculiar stars, in which they had not been detected earlier, are reinvestigated on the basis of our own measurements and literature data. Despite the considerably higher measurement accuracy, again no magnetic fields were detected in any of them. An upper limit on the field of HD 10221 of 40 G was obtained. Despite the weakness of the fields, the parameters characterizing an anomaly in chemical composition correspond to those for strong fields. The same parameters in stars with strong fields generally correspond in value, although they are lower than expected in the case of HD 47152.     

Coronal Magnetic Flux Rope Equilibria and Magnetic Helicity

1 INTRODUCTIONObservations show that the magnetic helicity of solar magnetic structures has a predominantsign in each hemisphere of the Sun, positive in the southern hemisphere and negative in thenorthern, regardless of the solar cycle (Rust, 1994). The magnetic helicity is strictly conservedin the frame of ideal MHD (WOltjer, 1958), and approximately conserved in the presence ofresistive dissipation and magnetic reconnection in a highly conductive plajsma (Taylor, 1974;Berger, 1984; H…
