چکیده
DOT high-resolution imagery suggests that only internetworkspanning Hα “mottles” constitute the quiet-sun chromosphere, whereas more upright network “straws” in “hedge rows” reflect transition-region conditions.

بررسی اتصال مجدد مغناطیسی غیر خطی در کروموسفر خورشیدی
In order to see the occurrence of magnetic reconnection in the solar chromosphere, we investigate the behavior of non-linear perturbations on the magneto hydro dynamic (MHD) equations. Numericalstudy of the resistive tearing instability in a current sheet is presented by considering the MHD framework.To do this, the four field model is applied. It is shown based on the simulation that the non-l...
متن کاملDamping of visco-resistive Alfven waves in solar spicules
Interaction of Alfven waves with plasma inhomogeneity generates phase mixing which can cause the dissipation of Alfven waves. We investigated the dissipation of standing Alfven waves due to phase mixing at the presence of steady flow and sheared magnetic field in solar spicules. Moreover, the transition region between chromosphere and corona was considered. Our numerical simulation showed that ...
متن کاملThe Liquid Metallic Hydrogen Model of the Sun and the Solar Atmosphere IV. On the Nature of the Chromosphere
The chromosphere is the site of weak emission lines characterizing the flash spectrum observed for a few seconds during a total eclipse. This layer of the solar atmosphere is known to possess an opaque Hα emission and a great number of spicules, which can extend well above the photosphere. A stunning variety of hydrogen emission lines have been observed in this region. The production of these l...
متن کاملNonlinear Effects in Three-minute Oscillations of the Solar Chromosphere. I. An Analytical Nonlinear Solution and Detection of the Second Harmonic
The vertical propagation of nonlinear acoustic waves in an isothermal atmosphere is considered. A new analytical solution that describes a finite-amplitude wave of an arbitrary wavelength is obtained. Although the shortand long-wavelength limits were previously considered separately, the new solution describes both limiting cases within a common framework and provides a straightforward way of i...
متن کاملSolar Spectroscopy and (Pseudo-)Diagnostics of the Solar Chromosphere
I first review trends in current solar spectrometry and then concentrate on comparing various spectroscopic diagnostics of the solar chromosphere. Some are actually not at all chromospheric but just photospheric or clapotispheric and do not convey information on chromospheric heating, even though this is often assumed. Balmer Hα is the principal displayer of the closed-field chromosphere, but i...
