Flare Energy and Magnetic Field Variations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe ways in which the photospheric vector magnetic field might vary across the duration of a solar flare or CME. We also quantitatively assess the back reaction on the photosphere and solar interior by the coronal field evolution required to release flare energy. Our estimates suggest that the work done by Lorentz forces in this back reaction could supply enough energy to explain observations of flare-driven seismic waves.

The Mixing Of Interplanetary Magnetic Field Lines: A Significant Transport Effect In Studies Of The Energy Spectra Of Impulsive Flares
Using instrumentation on board the ACE spacecraft we describe short-time scale (~3 hour) variations observed in the arrival profiles of -20 keV nucleon" to -2 MeV nucleon" ions from impulsive solar flares. These variations occurred simultaneously across all energies and were generally not in coincidence with any local magnetic field or plasma signature. These features appear to be caused by the...
متن کاملThe effect of earth magnetic field on the function of nuclear medicine imaging systems (SPECT)
Background: The nuclear medicine systems are very sensitive to the variation of the magnetic field. Photomultiplier tubes amplify low energy light signal and change it into electrical current. Low magnetic field can produce some variations in uniformity and special resolution of SPECT systems. In this study, we tried to evaluate the effects of magnetic field on the function of nuclear medic...
متن کاملEffects of variations in magnetic Reynolds number on magnetic field distribution in electrically conducting fluid under magnetohydrodynamic natural convection
In this study the effect of magnetic Reynolds number variation on magnetic distribution of natural convection heat transfer in an enclosure is numerically investigated. The geometry is a two dimensional enclosure which the left wall is hot, the right wall is cold and the top and bottom walls are adiabatic. Fluid is molten sodium with Pr=0.01 and natural convection heat transfer for Rayleigh num...
متن کاملPredictions of Energy and Helicity in Four Major Eruptive Solar Flares
In order to better understand the solar genesis of interplanetary magnetic clouds (MCs), we model the magnetic and topological properties of four large eruptive solar flares and relate them to observations. We use the three-dimensional Minimum Current Corona model (Longcope, 1996, Solar Phys. 169, 91) and observations of pre-flare photospheric magnetic field and flare ribbons to derive values o...
متن کاملFirst nonlinear force-free field extrapolations of SOLIS/VSM data
Aims. We study the coronal magnetic field structure inside active regions and its temporal evolution. We attempt to compare the magnetic configuration of an active region in a very quiet period with that for the same region during a flare. Methods. Probably for the first time, we use vector magnetograph data from the Synoptic Optical Long-term Investigations of the Sun survey (SOLIS) to model t...
