Laboratory simulations of solar prominence eruptions*
Spheromak technology is exploited to create laboratory simulations of solar prominence eruptions. It is found that the initial simulated prominences are arched, but then bifurcate into twisted secondary structures which appear to follow fringing field lines. A simple model explains many of these topological features in terms of the trajectories of field lines associated with relaxed states, i.e...
متن کاملHardware/Software Integration in Solar Polarimetry
A polarimetry system for solar astronomy is presented. The system is based on a reconfigurable coprocessor attached to a conventional workstation. Although the computationally intensive parts of the application are performed in the host processor, the reconfigurable coprocessor plays a key role in taking charge of tasks that the host performs poorly, such as cycle-by-cycle data marshalling and ...
متن کاملEUV lines observed with EIS/Hinode in a solar prominence
Context. During a multi-wavelength observation campaign with Hinode and ground-based instruments, a solar prominence was observed for three consecutive days as it crossed the western limb of the Sun in April 2007. Aims. We report on observations obtained on 26 April 2007 using EIS (Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer) on Hinode. They are analysed to provide a qualitative diagnostic of the ...
متن کاملCoronal transverse magnetohydrodynamic waves in a solar prominence.
Solar prominences are cool 10(4) kelvin plasma clouds supported in the surrounding 10(6) kelvin coronal plasma by as-yet-undetermined mechanisms. Observations from Hinode show fine-scale threadlike structures oscillating in the plane of the sky with periods of several minutes. We suggest that these represent Alfvén waves propagating on coronal magnetic field lines and that these may play a role...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Polarimetry of Two X-Class Solar Flares
We have performed the first polarimetry of solar flare emission at γ-ray energies (0.2–1MeV). These observations were performed with the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) for two large flares: the GOES X4.8-class solar flare of 2002 July 23, and the X17-class flare of 2003 October 28. We have marginal polarization detections in both flares, at levels of 21 ± 9% and -...
