Is null - point reconnection important for solar flux emergence ?
The role of null-point reconnection in a 3D numerical MHD model of solar emerging flux is investigated. The model consists of a twisted magnetic flux tube rising through a stratified convection zone and atmosphere to interact and reconnect with a horizontal overlying magnetic field in the atmosphere. Null points appear as the reconnection begins and persist throughout the rest of the emergence,...
متن کاملSolar Flux Emergence Simulations
We simulate the rise through the upper convection zone and emergence through the solar surface of initially uniform, untwisted, horizontal magnetic flux, with the same entropy as the nonmagnetic plasma, that is advected into a domain 48 Mm wide by 20 Mm deep. The magnetic field is advected upward by the diverging upflows and pulled down in the downdrafts, which produces a hierarchy of loop-like...
متن کاملA flux emergence model for solar eruptions
We have simulated the 3D emergence and interaction of two twisted flux tubes, which rise from the interior into the outer atmosphere of the Sun. We present evidence for the multiple formation and eruption of flux ropes inside the emerging flux systems and hot arcade-like structures in between them. Their formation is due to internal reconnection, occurring between oppositely directed, highly st...
متن کاملInvisible sunspots and rate of solar magnetic flux emergence
Aims. We study the visibility of sunspots and its influence on observed values of sunspot region parameters. Methods. We use Virtual Observatory tools provided by AstroGrid to analyse a sample of 6862 sunspot regions. By studying the distributions of locations where sunspots were first and last observed on the solar disk, we derive the visibility function of sunspots, the rate of magnetic flux ...
متن کاملFan-spine Topology Formation through Two-step Reconnection Driven by Twisted Flux Emergence
We address the formation of 3D nullpoint topologies in the solar corona by combining Hinode/XRT observations of a small dynamic limb event, which occurred beside a non-erupting prominence cavity, with a 3D zero-β MHD simulation. To this end, we model the boundary-driven “kinematic” emergence of a compact, intense, and uniformly twisted flux tube into a potential field arcade that overlies a wea...
