Transition-region Velocity Oscillations Observed by Eunis-06

چکیده
Spectroscopic measurements of AR NOAA 10871, obtained with the Extreme Ultraviolet Normal Incidence Spectrograph (EUNIS) sounding rocket instrument on 2006 April 12, reveal velocity oscillations in the He II 303.8Å emission line formed at T ≈ 5 × 10 K. The oscillations appear to arise in a bright active-region loop arcade about 25 wide which crosses the EUNIS slit. The period of these transition region oscillations is 26 ± 4 s, coupled with a velocity amplitude of ± 10 km/s, detected over 4 complete cycles. Similar oscillations are observed in lines formed at temperatures up to T ≈ 4 × 10 K, but we find no evidence for the coupling of these velocity oscillations with corresponding phenomena in the corona. We interpret the detected oscillations as originating from an almost purely adiabatic plasma, and infer that they are generated by the resonant transmission of MHD waves through the lower active-region atmospheres. Through use of seismological techniques, we establish that the observed velocity oscillations display wave properties most characteristic of fast-body global sausage modes.

Based on observations obtained with the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO joint observing program for velocity fields in sunspot regions, we have detected 3 min transition region umbral oscillations in NOAA 8156. Simultaneous recordings of O V λ629 and N V λ1238, λ1242 with the SUMER instrument give the spatial distribution of power in the 3 min oscillations, both in intensity and line-of...
متن کاملActive Region Oscillations
We report here on an investigation of high frequency oscillations in active regions, carried out using high cadence observations of O V 629 Å, Mg IX 368 Å and Fe XVI 335 Å with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on SOHO. Using the techniques of wavelet analysis on various temporal series datasets, we find that certain oscillation frequencies are favoured for each line. We find furthermor...

The imaging telescope on board the Transition Region And Coronal Explorer (TRACE) spacecraft offered observations with high spatial resolution and unprecedented time cadence about spatial oscillations of solar coronal loops. Current theoretical models attempt to explain the excitation mechanism, rapid damping and selectivity of these oscillations. The theoretical model presented here simulates ...

Estimating discharge and velocity in natural channels and flood plains for inflexible vegetative cover is important. In such waterways, velocity profile can be divided into three zones: uniform zone which is close to bed with uniform velocity distribution, logarithmic zone which involves the main channel without vegetative cover and the middle zone (transition zone) that is affected by the mom...
متن کاملLeakage of photospheric acoustic waves into non-magnetic solar atmosphere
Aims. This paper aims to look at the propagation of synthetic photospheric oscillations from a point source into a two-dimensional non-magnetic solar atmosphere. It takes a particular interest in the leakage of 5-min global oscillations into the atmosphere, and aims to complement efforts on the driving of chromospheric dynamics (e.g. spicules and waves) by 5-min oscillations. Methods. A model s...
