چکیده

It is analysed the discrepancy about the coronal magnetic eld between solar optic and solar radio using magnetic bril concept with lling factor and fractal structure model. The magnetic eld of 100 G considered in solar optics is mean value in a large scale, and that of 1000 G in solar should be the value of ne structures inside \macro" loop. The magnetic eld in the solar corona is poorly known because there are few kinds of observations that can measure it unambiguously (Gary et al.1993). It is contentious about the coronal magnetic elds in solar optics and radio. In solar optics, the magnetic eld is usually considered as 100 G, many measurements indicate that few or no prominences have eld strengths above 150 G, and typical strengths are 26 G (Harvey 1969); in solar radio, it is always takens as 1000 G to t the observed emission ux, Peterson and Winck-ler (1959) took the eld strength of 1000 G in calculating the number of fast electrons in the solar are, Holt and Cline (1968) and Holt and Ramaty (1969) used numerical calculations of gyrosynchrotron emis-sivity to estimate the number of electrons for the are of gyrosynchrotron emissivity to estimate the number of electrons for the are of 1966 July 7, and deduced the eld strength is 1000 G, De Feite (1975) made a rough estimate and obtained a typical source eld strength of 1200 G for solar are. By observation, Gary et al. (1993) deduced that the magnetic eld strength at the base of the corona above the leading spots was 1200 G, and 1100 G above the folling spots. Now it is known that there are observed small-scale magnetic elds on the solar surface, perhaps the sunspots contain complex internal ne structure that are far from being fully resolved. It is believed that these magnetic structures are composed of many thinner uxtubes (De Jager et al. 1993), for convenience called magnetic brils. The corona is highly inhomoge-neous, many observations suggest such a structure in the solar corona. Several authors (De Jager 1986) have found that magnetic loops on the sun are not homogeneously lled with magnetic elds but that there is a lling factor being 1; De Jager (1986) had summarized data available at that time and concluded to averge values of 0.01. It is proposed that the gas is limited to a number of very thin magnetic …

Coronal Magnetic Field Measurements through Gyroresonance Emission

This article reviews the use of gyroresonance emission at radio wavelengths to measure coronal magnetic fields. The spiralling motion of electrons in the 200– 2000 G fields in the solar corona produces sufficient opacity to render the corona optically thick, making it easy to recognize such sources in microwave images from their coronal brightness temperatures. Where gyroresonance sources are p...

Radio Measurements of Coronal Magnetic Fields

The measurement of magnetic field strengths in the solar corona using radio observations is reviewed. This is a well established technique that exploits the fact that the electron gyrofrequency for typical coronal magnetic field strengths (100–2000 Gauss) lies in the radio frequency range. Opacity from the resulting gyroresonance emission from hot plasma above active regions allows the direct m...

Assessing the tilt of the solar magnetic field axis through Faraday rotation observations

Context. Faraday rotation measurements of extragalactic radio sources during coronal occultation allow assessment of both the electron density distribution and the three-dimensional magnetic field topology in the outer solar corona. Aims. We simulate the three-dimensional structure of both the coronal magnetic field and the electron density distribution in order to reproduce the excess Faraday ...

Propagation of shock waves in the solar corona with 2-D loop structures

Motivated by recent observations of type II radio bursts, we study propagation of shock waves by the twodimensional numerical magnetohydrodynamic model. Explosion of a hot plasma is investigated for various ratios of the mass density and magnetic field intensity in a fan of coronal loops. Ducting of shock waves occurs along loop-like structure and ducting of possible radio emission in under-den...
