Abstract: | With 1353 vector magnetograms observed at Huairou Solar Observing Station (HSOS), a statistical analysis is made on the relationship
among solar flares, magnetic gradient, and magnetic shear. The results suggest that flare productivity has positive correlations
with the gradient and the shear, which can be well fitted by the Boltzmann sigmoidal function. In the vicinity of neutral
lines, high gradient and strong shear are roughly coincident in time but barely in position. In addition, flare productivity
is more sensitive to the length of neutral lines with strong gradient and shear (L
gs) than independently with strong gradient (L
g) or strong shear (L
s), which means that L
gs can be a better parameter for solar flare forecasting models. Finally, an algorithm to evaluate projection effects on the
statistical results is proposed. |
