Scaling behavior of the vertical velocity field in the solar photosphere

چکیده
We analyze, for the first time, the scaling behavior of the photospheric vertical velocity field. Our analysis is based on data collected by the Italian Panoramic Monocromator (IPM) mounted at the THEMIS telescope at the Spanish “Observatorio del Teide” (Tenerife) of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. We investigate the occurrence of scaling in the cancellations between downflow and upflow of the vertical velocity field, showing that the field possesses well pronunced sign–singularity in the range of scales from more than 10 Mm down to the granulation scale.

MHD Casson fluid flow through a vertical plate
In this study, effects of numerous physical quantities like dissipation, thermal radiation, and induced magnetic field on magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow through a vertical plate is addressed. The non-dimensional multivariable governing equations are solved numerically by by means of Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The behavior of velocity, temperature and induced magnet...
متن کاملInjection of Magnetic Energy and Magnetic Helicity into the Solar Atmosphere by an Emerging Magnetic Flux Tube
We present a detailed investigation of the dynamical behavior of emerging magnetic flux using 3dimensional MHD numerical simulation. A magnetic flux tube with a lefthanded twist, initially placed below the photosphere, emerges into the solar atmosphere. This leads to a dynamical expansion of emerging field lines as well as an injection of magnetic energy and magnetic helicity into the atmospher...
متن کاملLarge-scale horizontal flows in the solar photosphere IV. On the vertical structure of large-scale horizontal flows
In the recent papers, we introduced a method utilised to measure the flow field. The method is based on the tracking of supergranular structures. We did not precisely know, whether its results represent the flow field in the photosphere or in some sub-photospheric layers. In this paper, in combination with helioseismic data, we are able to estimate the depths in the solar convection envelope, w...
متن کاملPhysical Properties of the Solar Magnetic Photosphere under the Misma Hypothesis Iii: Sunspot at Disk Center
Small-scale fluctuations of magnetic field and velocity may be responsible for the Stokes asymmetries observed in all photospheric magnetic structures (the MISMA hypothesis). We support the hypothesis showing that atmospheres with optically-thin micro-structure reproduce the polarization of Fe I λ6301.5 Å and Fe I λ6302.5 Å observed in a sunspot. Ten thousand spectra were fitted by model MISMAs...
متن کاملReconstruction of an Inductive Velocity Field Vector from Doppler Motions and a Pair of Solar Vector Magnetograms
We outline a general methodology to infer the inductive velocity field vector in solar active regions. For the first time, both the field-aligned and the crossfield velocity components are reconstructed. The cross-field velocity solution accounts for the changes of the vertical magnetic field seen between a pair of successive active-region vector magnetograms via the ideal induction equation. T...
