  1. THE RELATION BETWEEN CORONAL EITWAVE AND MAGNETIC CONFIGURATION Speakers: Xin Chen

  2. 1. INTRODUCTION • Coronal extrapolated magnetic fields • EIT wave • The relation of CME and EIT wave (mechanism)

  3. 1.1 Coronal extrapolated magnetic fields The magnetic features of lower coronal is the key of understanding its physical origins The direct measurement (Zeeman Splitting) of the coronal magnetic field is particularly difficult A complementary method of the field measurements is a precise extrapolation of the accurately observed photospheric magnetic field. Currently potential field approximations can be easily used 1. INTRODUCTION 2020/1/5 3

  4. 1.2 EIT Wave Running-difference 1. INTRODUCTION 2020/1/5 4

  5. 1.2 EIT wave EIT waves were discovered by the EUV Imaging Telescope (EIT) They propagate nearly circularly from a flare site (Moses et al. 1997; Thompson et al. 1998) or inhomogeneously, avoiding strong magnetic features and neutral lines. Generally, they stop near coronal holes (Thompson et al. 1999). Research (Biesecker et al. 2002) indicates that if an EIT wave is observed, then there must be a CME. However not all CMEs have associated EIT waves. The typical velocity of EIT wave is 170~350km/s, average is 270km/s Generally considered, the brightening and dimming of EIT wave is caused by the increase or decrease of density of plasma in coronal. Some article also indicate variation of temperature is not negligible. 1. INTRODUCTION 2020/1/5 5

  6. 1.3 The relation of CME and EIT wave (mechanism) Solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are presently the largest known solar eruptive activity in spatial scale. From Visible coronagraph it presents as a transient coronal phenomenon obvious brightening than background . 1. INTRODUCTION 2020/1/5 6

  7. 1.3 The relation of CME and EIT wave (mechanism) Fast-mode waves can not explain those properties of EIT wave: The velocity of EIT wave is less than 1/3 velocity of Moreton wave Delanne´e & Aulanier discover sometimes EIT wave would stop at magnetic separator surface The velocity of EIT wave has no correlation with velocity of type II radio bursts at the same time, however the velocity of Moreton wave is proportional to the latter The wave velocity of EIT wave sometimes is much smaller than lower coronal sound speed, since the fast-mode waves are always larger than it 1.

  8. 1.3 The relation of CME and EIT wave (mechanism) 1. INTRODUCTION Numerical simulation result from Chen, P.F.: Global evolution of the density (color), magnetic field (solid lines), and velocity (arrows). 2020/1/5 8

  9. 1.3 The relation of CME and EIT wave (mechanism) 1. INTRODUCTION Evolution of the density (r) distribution. Note that the r distribution at each time is stacked on the previous one. 2020/1/5 9

  10. 1.3 The relation of CME and EIT wave (mechanism) 1. INTRODUCTION Propagation of EIT wave front from point C to point D, where the rising flux rope is the original source for the successive opening of all field lines. Solid lines represent the initial configuration; dashed lines correspond to the new configuration at each new time; wavy lines represent the fast-mode waves emitted from the EIT wave fronts. Moreton waves, much ahead of the EIT wave fronts, are not shown. 2020/1/5 10

  11. 2. DATA PROCESSING 2.1 PFSS The coronal magnetic field models used from IDL – SSW – PFSS. This software is based on evolving full-sun Carrington maps of the photospheric magnetic field, into which SOHO/MDI magnetograms are directly inserted when available. The coronal magnetic field is then deduced by extrapolating the photospheric field upward via the potential-field source-surface (PFSS) approximation. 2020/1/5 11

  12. 2.1 PFSS Since MDI magnetogramsis a synthesis of one rotation cycle of sun (27 days),PFSS can not show the variation of magnetic field when EIT wave arising (1-2 hours).All extrapolated magnetic field lines present the quiet sun magnetic structure before EIT wave. 2. DATA PROCESSING 2020/1/5 12

  13. 2.2 Running-difference & Base-difference In running-difference, brightening/dimming show the variation of the last recent data. If changing it to minus the data before EIT wave begins, in other words, comparing with the quiet sun. We got base-difference, which is appropriate to analyze the density variation of plasma. 2. DATA PROCESSING 2020/1/5 13

  14. 2.3 Combine the PFSS extrapolated magnetic field lines and EIT wave 2. DATA PROCESSING The magnetic field lines in left picture present the quiet sun magnetic field, it does not change. Only the background of EIT base-difference will vary with time. *footpoints chosen from isometric lon-lat grid 2020/1/5 14

According to the mechanism from Chen, P. F. et al 2002. It can explain: • 1.EIT wave avoiding strong magnetic features and neutral lines • 2.The rotation of brightening of EIT wave 2020/1/5 29
