Quiet Sun Brightenings -cell and Network Behaviour
نویسنده
چکیده
Observations of the quiet Sun are made with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on board the SOHO spacecraft. We have investigated the diierences in characteristics of the cell and network regions. It has been found that the powerlaw distribution of energy (f(E) = f o E ?) is diierent in the cell and network regions, with the cell region having higher values of. This result is found irrespective of the assumptions made on volume and histogram step size. The brightenings in the cell tend to be smaller in size, and shorter in duration than those in the network.

Characteristics of quiet Sun cell and network brightenings
Extreme ultraviolet observations of the quiet Sun are made with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (cds) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (soho). It has been previously noted that frequent transition region brightenings occur in both the bright network and dark cell regions. Analysing 1125 events, we determined the characteristics of the brightenings in the cell and network regi...
متن کاملA study of the unification of quiet-Sun transient-event phenomena
A number of small-scale, globally distributed solar transient event-types have been reported in the literature. Their potential role in fundamental processes in the solar atmosphere, such as coronal heating and wind acceleration, is under active investigation. However, the event-types, such as those known as blinkers, explosive events, EUV (extreme-UV) network and cell brightenings, network fla...
متن کاملQuiet Sun EUV transient brightenings and turbulence A panoramic view by EIT on board SOHO
Since January 1996, the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT, onboard SOHO) has produced unique image sequences covering a wide field of view with a high temporal resolution, in the He ii transition region line and in several Fe coronal emission lines. Using two sequences acquired with cadences of the order of one minute and with durations ranging from one hour to several hours, we analys...
متن کاملComparison of Transient Network Brightenings and Explosive Events in the Solar Transition Region.
The relation between transient network brightenings, known as blinkers, and explosive events is examined based on coordinated quiet Sun observations in the transition region line O v lambda630 recorded by the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS), in the transition region line Si iv lambda1402 recorded by the Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation (SUMER) instrument, and in photosp...
متن کاملTransient events in the EUV transition region and chromosphere
Rapid time cadence observations of the quiet Sun extreme ultraviolet emission, observed by the cds instrument on soho, are discussed. Numerous transient brightenings are observed in network features in both a transition region line (O v 629.73 Å) and a chromospheric line (He i 584.33 Å), indicating a dynamic coupling between the chromospheric and transition region network. Their durations are b...
