Evolution of force-free electric currents in the solar atmosphere
The new 3-D numerical model studying evolution of force-free electric currents in the solar atmosphere is presented. The initial dipole magnetic field is considered in a simplified active region. Starting from a low electric current, which penetrates the photosphere, and increasing the current intensity, the path of force-free electric current and the corresponding magnetic field are computed. ...
متن کاملThe Solar Atmosphere
Looking at the solar photosphere, we see the top of the convection zone in the form of granulation: Hot gas rising from the solar interior as part of the energy transport process reaches a position where the opacity is no longer sufficient to prevent the escape of radiation. The gas expands, radiates, and cools and in so doing loses its buoyancy and descends. These motions, ultimately driven by...
متن کاملMHD simulation of electric currents in the solar atmosphere caused by photospheric plasma motion
Photospheric plasma motion may cause the buildup of electric currents in the solar atmosphere. These electric currents may then dissipate and heat the corona, cause EUV and X-ray Bright Points (BPs) and trigger flares. In this work we use a ‘data driven’ 3D MHD model to study the generation of electric currents in the solar atmosphere by photospheric plasma motion. The model was applied to phot...
متن کاملExplosive events in the solar atmosphere
Two examples of explosive events observed with SUMER in transition region spectral lines are reported here; one detected in C iv 1548 Å, in a region within the northern polar coronal hole, and the other in O vi 1032 Å, in an active region. The event measured in C iv lasted ∼ 3 min and extended approximately a region of 8 arc sec along the slit (N-S) and 8 arc sec in the E-W direction. Velocitie...
متن کاملMagnetic Coupling in the Quiet Solar Atmosphere
Three kinds of magnetic couplings in the quiet solar atmosphere are highlighted and discussed, all fundamentally connected to the Lorentz force. First the coupling of the convecting and overshooting fluid in the surface layers of the Sun with the magnetic field. Here, the plasma motion provides the dominant force, which shapes the magnetic field and drives the surface dynamo. Progress in the un...
