چکیده
We have performed a detailed analysis of several hundreds Hα Ellerman bombs in the low chromosphere, above an emerging flux region. We find that Ellerman bombs may be small-scale, low-altitude, magnetic reconnection events that heat the low chromosphere in the active region. Their energy content varies between 10 erg and 10 erg, typical of subflaring activity.

Magnetic Flux Cancellation in Ellerman Bombs
Ellerman Bombs (EBs) are often found to be co-spatial with bipolar photospheric magnetic fields. We use Hα imaging spectroscopy along with Fe I 6302.5Å spectropolarimetry from the Swedish 1 m Solar Telescope (SST), combined with data from the Solar Dynamic Observatory, to study EBs and the evolution of the local magnetic fields at EB locations. EBs are found via an EB detection and tracking alg...
متن کاملSmall-scale Structuring of Ellerman Bombs at Solar Limb
Ellerman bombs (EBs) have been widely studied in recent years due to their dynamic, explosive nature and apparent links to the underlying photospheric magnetic field implying that they may be formed by magnetic reconnection in the photosphere. Despite a plethora of researches discussing the morphologies of EBs, there has been a limited investigation of how these events appear at the limb, speci...
متن کاملSpectral Analysis of Ellerman Bombs
By use of the high-resolution spectral data obtained with THEMIS on 2002 September 5, the characteristics of 14 well-observed Ellerman bombs (EBs) have been analyzed. Our results indicate that 9 of the 14 EBs are located near the longitudinal magnetic polarity inversion lines. Most of the EBs are accompanied by mass motions. The most obvious characteristic of the EB spectra is the two emission ...
متن کاملSpectro-Polarimetric Observation of an Emerging Flux Region: Triggering Mechanism of Ellerman Bombs
High spatial resolution observation of an emerging flux region (EFR) was done using a vector magnetograph and a Hα Lyot filtergraph with Domeless Solar Telescope at Hida Observatory on October 22, 2006. In Hα wing images, we could see many Ellerman bombs (EBs) in the EFR. Two observation modes, slit scan and slit fixed, were performed with the vector magnetograph, along with Hα filtergraph. Usi...
متن کاملOn the structure and dynamics of Ellerman bombs
Aims. We study the structure and dynamics of three Ellerman bombs (EBs) observed in an evolving active region. Methods. The active region NOAA 11271 was observed with the Vacuum Tower Telescope at Observatorio del Teide/Tenerife on August 18, 2011. We used the two-dimensional Triple Etalon SOlar Spectrometer (TESOS) to obtain time sequences of the active region and of EBs in Hα at a cadence of ...
