چکیده

The present spectroscopic study of the ultraviolet coronal emission in a polar hole, detected on April 6–9, 1996 with the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer aboard the SOHO spacecraft, identifies the inter–plume lanes and background coronal hole regions as the channels where the fast solar wind is preferentially accelerated. In inter–plume lanes, at heliocentric distance 1.7 R ⊙ , the corona expands at a rate between 105 km s −1 and 150 km s −1 , that is, much faster than in plumes where the outflow velocity is between 0 km s −1 and 65 km s −1. The wind velocity is inferred from the Doppler dimming of the O VI λλ 1032, 1037Å lines, within a range of values, whose lower and upper limit corresponds to anisotropic and isotropic velocity distribution of the oxygen coronal ions, respectively.

Identification and tracking of solar coronal loops is key to understanding solar magnetic field. Slow and fast Magnetohydrodynamic oscillation of tracked loops from sequence 171Å extreme ultra – violet images was detected. The method was demonstrated using 171Å images taken by SDO/AIA on 14 August 2010 and 20 January 2012. Two dimensional continuous wavelet transform (CWT) was used to clarify ...

  An experiment to search for short-period intensity oscillations in the solar corona was conducted during the total solar eclipse of August 11, 1999 in Esfahan, Iran. The intensity in the continuum, centered about 4700 Å and with a passband having a half-width of 190 Å, was recorded at a counting rate of 5 Hz using six low-noise Hamamatsu R647 photomultiplier tubes. We recorded intensity value...

A coronal loop can be oscillated in various directions. A basic type of coronal loop oscillation is called transverse oscillation that can be caused by different factors, such as nearby active regions and flares. The damping of transverse oscillation may be produced by the dissipation mechanism or the wake of the traveling disturbance. The aim of this paper is to estimate the damping time of tr...

Solar mini-dimmings can be detect in the Extreme Ultra-Violet coronal eruptions. Here, sequences of 171_A images taken by Solar Dynamic Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembaly on 13 June 2010 are used. In this special day, both of coronal mass ejection and prominence were observed. The average velocities and accelerations of 500 mini-dimmings which were detected using on feature based classif...

Sources of solar wind over the solar activity cycle

Fast solar wind has been recognized, about 40 years ago, to originate in polar coronal holes (CHs), that, since then, have been identified with sources of recurrent high speed wind streams. As of today, however, there is no general consensus about whether there are, within CHs, preferential locations where the solar wind is accelerated. Knowledge of slow wind sources is far from complete as wel...

On the source regions of the fast solar wind in polar coronal holes

Fast streams of the solar wind with speeds of up to ≈ 800 km s−1 at a distance of 1 AU (astronomical unit) from the Sun are known to originate in solar coronal holes. With the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) detailed studies of the solar wind source regions have been made possible for the first time. We show images of solar polar coronal holes in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV), which w...
