Tether-Cutting Energetics of a Solar Quiet-Region Prominence Eruption

This study examines the energetics of a quiet-region prominence eruption and investigates the mechanism driving such eruptions. Observational data and simulations are used to estimate the energy required and the heating associated with tether-cutting reconnection. The results suggest that quiet-region and active-region eruptions are different manifestations of the same magnetic eruption process.

  1. 太陽雑誌会 2004/2/2 殿岡 TETHER-CUTTING ENERGETICS OF A SOLAR QUIET-REGION PROMINENCE ERUPTIONAlphonse C. Sterling1, 2 and Ronald L. MooreNASA Marshall Space Flight Center, SD50/Space Science Department, Huntsville,AL 35812;asterling@solar.stanford.edu, ron.moore@nasa.govReceived 2003 May 31; accepted 2003 August 19 The Astrophysical Journal, 599:1418–1425, 2003 December 20

  2. Two different types of filament and prominence eruptions .. active region and quiet region eruptions “both types of eruptions are aspects of a more general magnetic eruption process and that the mechanism driving these eruptions is the same in the two cases” Quiet-region prominence eruption of 1999 Feb 8-9 the expected observational detectability of tether-cutting reconnection Introduction

  3. Instrumentation and data

  4. Observations: EIT 284A

  5. Observations: SXT

  6. Observations: Figure3

  7. Light curves and trajectory of the prominence. Upper: EIT, Lower: SXT Observations:Figure4

  8. estimating the amount of energy required for the prominence eruption, Energetics the gravitational energy dominates the kinetic energy by 2 orders of magnitude.

  9. Estimating heating energy associated with tether cutting reconnection. (radiated energy) + (thermal energy) Energetics -2- a heating rate of 105–107 ergs cm2 s1,
