The abnormal wide annihilation line of solar flares ShiChao TANG
Content • Observation • Wide Line • 3gamma/2gamma ratio • Time profile • Problem with the models
High Energy Resolution http://hesperia.gsfc.nasa.gov/hessi/concept.htm
High Energy Resolution Share et al 2003
Wide Line Thermal 6000 K
Wide Line • Positronium formed via charge exchange in flight, ~6000K • Thermally broadened in a hot region with temperature of ~400000 K
3 Gamma Continum para-positronium ortho-positronium T+, D+, ->3 gamma/2 gamma- Share 2004
3 gamma/2 gamma Share 2004
3 gamma/2 gamma 6000 K imply a ratio of ~ 3.7
Time Profile Schrijver 2006
Different precipitation regions Schrijver 2006
Where are they from? • In flight? • ? • Quiet Sun? • Not in equilibrium • Flare loop? • Different precipitation regions, the positrons from \beta+ decay can not go into the flare loop. • Bulk motion? • The other nuclear de-excitation lines were not broaden
