Effects on UV line observations of stationary plasma flows confined in coronal loops
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a method which uses a rather detailed model of coronal loop hosting a siphon flow as a diagnostic tool to interpret solar UV and X–ray observations in selected bands and lines. We apply the method to investigate the deviations from ionization equilibrium induced by stationary plasma flows confined in coronal loops and their effects on the UV and EUV emission lines observed by the instruments on board SOHO. We present results on the detailed synthesis of loop emission in a set of selected emission lines observed by CDS and SUMER, taking into account the non– equilibrium of ionization effects.

Upflows in funnel-like legs of coronal magnetic loops
The prominent blue shifts of Ne viii associated with the junctions of the magnetic network in the quiet Sun are still not well understood. By comparing the coronal magnetic-field structures as obtained by a potential-field reconstruction with the conspicuous blue-shift patches on the dopplergram of Ne viii as observed in an equatorial quiet-Sun region, we find that most of the regions with sign...
متن کاملA Transient Heating Model for Coronal Structure and Dynamics
A wealth of observational evidence for flows and intensity variations in nonflaring coronal loops leads to the conclusion that coronal heating is intrinsically unsteady and concentrated near the chromosphere. We have investigated the hydrodynamic behavior of coronal loops undergoing transient heating with onedimensional numerical simulations in which the timescale assumed for the heating variat...

Transversal oscillation of coronal loops that are interpreted as signatures of magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) waves are observed frequently in active region corona loops. The amplitude of this oscillation has been found to be strongly attenuated. The damping of transverse oscillation may be produced by the dissipation mechanism and the wake of the traveling disturbance. The damping of transversal ...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium of Ionization and the Detection of Hot Plasma in Nanoflare-heated Coronal Loops
Impulsive nanoflares are expected to transiently heat the plasma confined in coronal loops to temperatures of the order of 10 MK. Such hot plasma is hardly detected in quiet and active regions, outside flares. During rapid and short heat pulses in rarified loops the plasma can be highly out of equilibrium of ionization. Here we investigate the effects of the non-equilibrium of ionization (NEI) ...
متن کاملMHD Sausage Mode Oscillations in Coronal Loops
A recent study by Nakariakov et al. pointed out that the dispersion relation of MHD sausage mode oscillations has been incorrectly applied to coronal loops, neglecting the highly dispersive nature of the phase speed and the long-wavelength cutoff of the wave number. In the light of these new insights we revisit previous observations that have been interpreted in terms of MHD sausage mode oscill...
