Chromospheric Fine Structure Didactically
نویسنده
چکیده
The solar chromosphere is occupied with a wealth of fine structures referred to by diverse nomenclature. Recent identification of slow-mode magnetoacoustic shocks, excited by p-modes of photospheric oscillations, as plausible drivers of dynamic fibrils and spicules was followed by a surge of observational studies and numerical simulations attempting to reveal the role of chromospheric fine structure in energizing of the upper solar atmosphere. The paper summarizes didactically this breakthrough and provides ample references on the pertinent literature.

Decimetric Fine Structures as a Possible Signature of Chromospheric Evaporation
In this work, we concentrate in the analysis of radio slowly drifting fine structures associated with solar flares recorded in the frequency range of (1000 2500) MHz by the Brazilian Solar Spectroscope (BSS), in regular operation at National Institute of Space Research (INPE) Brazil. The main morphological aspects of each fine structure are narrow-band of about 5 10 MHz and small duration of th...
متن کاملThe quiet-Sun photosphere and chromosphere.
The overall structure and the fine structure of the solar photosphere outside active regions are largely understood, except possibly the important roles of a turbulent near-surface dynamo at its bottom, internal gravity waves at its top and small-scale vorticity. Classical one-dimensional static radiation-escape modelling has been replaced by three-dimensional time-dependent magento-hydrodynami...
متن کاملFine structure of the chromospheric activity in Solar - type stars – The H α line ⋆
A calibration of Hα as both a chromospheric diagnostic and an age indicator is presented, complementing the works previously done on this subject (Herbig 1985, Pasquini & Pallavicini 1991). The chromospheric diagnostic was built with a statistically significant sample, covering nine years of observations, and including 175 solar neighborhood stars. Regarding the age indicator, the presence of s...
متن کاملEvidence for Fine Structure in the Chromospheric Umbral Oscillation
Novel spectro-polarimetric observations of the He I multiplet are used to explore the dynamics of the chromospheric oscillation above sunspot umbrae. The results presented here provide strong evidence in support of the two-component model proposed by Socas-Navarro et al. According to this model, the waves propagate only inside channels of sub-arcsecond width (the “active” component), whereas th...
متن کاملSUMER observations of transition region fine structures
The SUMER (Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation) instrument on SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) provides an opportunity to observe and study the solar transition region with high spatial and spectral resolution. We present new evidence to confirm that the emission from the quiet Sun at 2 × 105 K is dominated by cool loop-like fine structures which cluster across the chro...
