Multi-wavelength high-resolution observations of a small-scale emerging magnetic flux event and the chromospheric and coronal response

Journal Article Vargas Domínguez, Santiago; Kosovichev, Alexander; Yurchyshyn, Vasyl - Astrophysical Journal

State-of-the-art solar instrumentation is now revealing magnetic activity of the Sun with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolutions. Observations with the 1.6 m aperture New Solar Telescope (NST) of the Big Bear Solar Observatory are making next steps in our understanding of the solar surface structure. Granular-scale magnetic flux emergence and the response of the solar atmosphere are among the key research topics of high-resolution solar physics. As part of a joint observing program with NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) mission on 2013 August 7, the NST observed active region NOAA 11,810 in the photospheric TiO 7057 Å band withmore »« less

Acceleration of type 2 spicules in the solar chromosphere. II. Viscous braking and upper bounds on coronal energy input

Journal Article

A magnetohydrodynamic model is used to determine conditions under which the Lorentz force accelerates plasma to type 2 spicule speeds in the chromosphere. The model generalizes a previous model to include a more realistic pre-spicule state, and the vertical viscous force. Two cases of acceleration under upper chromospheric conditions are considered. The magnetic field strength for these cases is ≤12.5 and 25 G. Plasma is accelerated to terminal vertical speeds of 66 and 78 km s{sup –1} in 100 s, compared with 124 and 397 km s{sup –1} for the case of zero viscosity. The flows are localized within horizontalmore »« less

World data center a for solar-terrestrial physics. Catalog of coronal holes, 1970-1991

Technical Report Sanchez-Ibarra, A; Barraza-Paredes, M

Coronal Holes were first noted as 'M' regions that produced periodic geomagnetic disturbances. These were first observed in 1970 by instruments on the Orbiting Solar Observatory (OSO) satellites, and also were noted with optical observations during the total solar eclipse of March 7, 1970. The Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) on the Skylab manned mission observed in short wavelengths the real nature of Coronal Holes as regions of lower density and temperature than the rest of the solar corona. Three observational periods from Skylab produced substantial data on the development of Coronal Holes as well as their relationship with other typesmore »« less
An atlas of solar spectra between 1175 and 1950 angstroms recorded on Skylab with the NRL's Apollo Telescope Mount experiment

Technical Report Cohen, L

Spectra of selected solar regions were recorded by the Naval Research Laboratory slit spectrograph on the Apollo Telescope Mount aboard Skylab. This atlas of those spectra is intended as a guide to the formulation of experiments and analysis of data obtained by extreme ultraviolet spectrographs and may be valuable to investigators analyzing International Ultraviolet Explorer spectra and data from Solar Maximum Mission and High Resolution Telescope Spectrograph. The slit spectrograph was used to cover the range 1175 A to 1950 A with a spectral resolution of 0.06 A and a spatial resolution at Sun center of 2 deg by 30more »« less
HIGH-SPEED TRANSITION REGION AND CORONAL UPFLOWS IN THE QUIET SUN

Journal Article McIntosh, Scott - Astrophysical Journal

We study the line profiles of a range of transition region (TR) emission lines observed in typical quiet-Sun regions. In magnetic network regions, the Si IV 1402 A, C IV 1548 A, N V 1238 A, O VI 1031 A, and Ne VIII 770 A spectral lines show significant asymmetry in the blue wing of the emission line profiles. We interpret these high-velocity upflows in the lower and upper TR as the quiet-Sun equivalent of the recently discovered upflows in the low corona above plage regions. The latter have been shown to be directly associated with high-velocity chromospheric spicules thatmore »« less
