Dynamics of the upper solar photosphere

چکیده
The dynamics of the upper solar photosphere was studied by using 1-D photospheric line spectrograms obtained using the VTT of the Observatorio del Teide. Three spectral lines with line core formation heights between 250 and 500 km were analyzed. It is clearly seen that at these levels the velocity and intensity fields are highly correlated but different from the lower lying zone where convective motions predominate. This is shown by classical methods (using correlations and bisectors) as well as by applying the Hurst exponent method to the data.

The atmosphere of the Sun is highly structured and dynamic in nature. From the photosphere and chromosphere into the transition region and the corona plasma-β changes from above to below one, i.e. while in the lower atmosphere the energy density of the plasma dominates, in the upper atmosphere the magnetic field plays the governing role — one might speak of a " magnetic transition ". Therefore ...
متن کاملStructure of the solar photosphere studied from the radiation hydrodynamics code ANTARES
The ANTARES radiation hydrodynamics code is capable of simulating the solar granulation in detail unequaled by direct observation. We introduce a state-of-the-art numerical tool to the solar physics community and demonstrate its applicability to model the solar granulation. The code is based on the weighted essentially non-oscillatory finite volume method and by its implementation of local mesh...
متن کاملOn the Dynamics of Small-scale Solar Magnetic Elements
We report on the dynamics of the small-scale solar magnetic field, based on analysis of very high resolution images of the solar photosphere obtained at the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope. The data sets are movies from 1 to 4 hr in length, taken in several wavelength bands with a typical time between frames of 20 s. The primary method of tracking small-scale magnetic elements is with very high ...
متن کاملLarge Eddy Simulation of Solar Photosphere Convection with Realistic Physics
Three-dimensional large eddy simulations of solar surface convection using realistic model physics are conducted. The thermal structure of convective motions into the upper radiative layers of the photosphere, the range of convection cell sizes, and the penetration depths of convection are investigated. A portion of the solar photosphere and the upper layers of the convection zone, a region ext...
