Shocks and instabilities in the partially ionised solar atmosphere

نویسندگان

چکیده

The low solar atmosphere is composed of mostly neutral particles, but the importance magnetic field for understanding observed dynamics means that interactions between charged and particles play a very important role in controlling macroscopic fluid motions. As exchange momentum fluids, essential to effectively feel Lorentz force, through collisional interactions, relative timescale these dynamic determines whether single-fluid model or, when frequency higher, more detailed two-fluid appropriate. However, as many MHD phenomena fundamentally contain multi-time-scale processes, even large-scale, long-timescale motions can have an physical contribution from processes. In this review we will focus on models, looking detail at two areas where nature physics easily develop: shock-waves instabilities. We then connect ideas observations attempting diagnose behaviour atmosphere, suggesting some ways forward bring simulations closer together.

The emergence of magnetic flux through a partially ionised solar atmosphere

We present results from 2.5D numerical simulations of the emergence of magnetic flux from the upper convection zone through the photosphere and chromosphere into the corona. Certain regions of the solar atmosphere are at sufficiently low temperatures to be only partially ionised, in particular the lower chromosphere. This leads to Cowling resistivities orders of magnitude larger than the Coulom...

Collisional dissipation of Alfvén waves in a partially ionised solar chromosphere

Certain regions of the solar atmosphere are at sufficiently low temperatures to be only partially ionised. The lower chromosphere contains neutral atoms, the existence of which greatly increases the efficiency of the damping of waves due to collisional friction momentum transfer. More specifically the Cowling conductivity can be up to 12 orders of magnitude smaller than the Spitzer value, so th...

Waves and Instabilities in Collisionless Shocks

By scattering particles and causing dissipation, waves in a collisionless shock play a role similar to collisions in an ordinary gas. In describing the waves and instability that occur near a shock three regions must be considered: (1) the transition region, (2) the upstream region, and (3) the downstream region. The transition region is usually characterized by an abrupt broadband burst of ele...

Collisional and viscous damping of MHD waves in partially ionized plasmas of the solar atmosphere

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are widely considered as a possible source of heating for various parts of the outer solar atmosphere. Among the main energy dissipation mechanisms which convert the energy of damped MHD waves into thermal energy are collisional dissipation (resistivity) and viscosity. The presence of neutral atoms in the partially ionized plasmas of the solar photosphere, chromo...

The 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...
