Collisional analysis combines the effects of collisional relaxation and large-scale expansion to quantify how solar wind parameters evolve as the plasma expands through the heliosphere. Though previous studies have applied collisional analysis to the temperature ratio between protons (ionized hydrogen) and α-particles (fully ionized helium), this is the first study to explore α-proton differential flow with collisional analysis. First, the mathematical model for the collisional analysis of differential flow was derived. Then, this model was applied to individual in-situ observations from Parker Solar Probe (PSP; r = 0.1–0.27 au) to generate predictions of the α-proton differential flow in the near-Earth solar wind. A comparison of these predicted values with contemporaneous measurements from the Wind spacecraft (r = 1.0 au) shows strong agreement, which may imply that the effects of expansion and Coulomb collisions have a large role in governing the evolution of differential flow through the inner heliosphere.
碰撞分析结合了碰撞弛豫和大尺度膨胀的影响,可以量化太阳风参数在等离子体通过日光层膨胀时的演变过程。虽然之前的研究已将碰撞分析应用于质子(电离氢)和α粒子(完全电离氦)之间的温度比,但这是首次利用碰撞分析探索α-质子差流的研究。首先,推导了差分流碰撞分析的数学模型。然后,将该模型应用于帕克太阳探测器(PSP;r = 0.1-0.27 au)的单个原位观测数据,得出近地太阳风中α-质子差流的预测值。将这些预测值与风航天器的同期测量值(r = 1.0 au)进行比较,结果显示两者非常吻合,这可能意味着膨胀和库仑碰撞的影响在支配日光层内部差流的演变方面发挥了很大作用。

Space weather phenomena, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections, have significant influence on Earth. These events can cause satellite orbital decay due to heat-induced atmospheric expansion, disruption of GPS navigation and telecommunications systems, damage to satellites, and widespread power blackouts. The potential of flares and associated events to damage technology and disrupt human activities motivates prediction development. We use Transformer networks to predict whether an active region (AR) will release a flare of a specific class within the next 24 h. Two cases are considered: ≥C-class and ≥M-class. For each prediction case, separate models are developed. We train the Transformer to use time-series data to classify 24- or 48-h sequences of data. The sequences consist of 18 physical parameters that characterize an AR from the Space-weather HMI Active Region Patches data product. Flare event information is obtained from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite flare catalog. Our model outperforms a prior study that similarly used only 24 h of data for the ≥C-class case and performs slightly worse for the ≥M-class case. When compared to studies that used a larger time window or additional data such as flare history, results are comparable. Using less data is conducive to platforms with limited storage, on which we plan to eventually deploy this algorithm.
包括太阳耀斑和日冕物质抛射在内的空间天气现象对地球有重大影响。由于热引起的大气膨胀,这些事件可导致卫星轨道衰减、全球定位系统导航和电信系统中断、卫星损坏和大面积停电。耀斑和相关事件有可能破坏技术和扰乱人类活动,这促使我们进行预测开发。我们使用变压器网络来预测一个活动区(AR)是否会在未来 24 小时内释放特定级别的耀斑。针对每种预测情况,我们都开发了单独的模型。我们训练变换器使用时间序列数据对 24 或 48 小时的数据序列进行分类。序列由 18 个物理参数组成,这些参数是空间-天气 HMI 活动区域斑块数据产品中的 AR 的特征。耀斑事件信息来自地球静止业务环境卫星耀斑目录。我们的模型在≥C 级情况下的表现优于先前的一项研究,该研究同样只使用了 24 小时的数据,而在≥M 级情况下的表现则稍差一些。与使用更大时间窗或耀斑历史等附加数据的研究相比,结果不相上下。使用较少的数据有利于存储有限的平台,我们计划最终在这些平台上部署该算法。

The highly Alfvénic fluctuations (AF) and magnetic-velocity alignment structures (MVAS) are two distinguished components in the near-Sun slow solar wind observed by Parker Solar Probe. The amplitudes of the Elsässer Variables z± of AF and MVAS show distinct features. However, how these fluctuations contribute to the slow solar wind turbulence remains unknown. Here we investigate the coherence between z+ and z− for the first time using the Parker Solar Probe measurements with a high resolution 0.8738 s in the slow solar wind from 0.1–0.3 au. We find that the coherence spectra of z+ and z− in the perpendicular directions for MVAS are remarkable higher than that for AF, in particular at large scale. There exists a break around 10 di (di is the ion inertial length) where the coherence decreases to a lower level for MVAS. A bump around 10 di appears on the coherence spectra of all three components for AF. The coherence of z+ and z− may relate to the possible nonlinear interactions reflected by the time series, the power spectra, and the self-correlation functions. These results help to understand the roles of AF and MVAS in the slow solar wind turbulence.
帕克太阳探测器(Parker Solar Probe)观测到的近太阳慢速太阳风中,高度阿尔费尼波动(AF)和磁速度排列结构(MVAS)是两个不同的组成部分。AF和MVAS的埃尔塞变量z±的振幅显示出明显的特征。然而,这些波动如何导致慢太阳风湍流仍是未知数。在这里,我们首次利用帕克太阳探测器在 0.1-0.3 au 的慢太阳风中进行的 0.8738 s 高分辨率测量,研究了 z+ 和 z- 之间的相干性。我们发现,MVAS 的 z+ 和 z- 在垂直方向上的相干谱明显高于 AF,尤其是在大尺度上。在 10 di(di 为离子惯性长度)附近存在一个断点,MVAS 的相干性在此断点下降到较低水平。对于 AF,所有三个分量的相干光谱在 10 di 附近都出现了一个凸起。z+ 和 z- 的一致性可能与时间序列、功率谱和自相关函数所反映的可能的非线性相互作用有关。这些结果有助于理解 AF 和 MVAS 在慢太阳风湍流中的作用。

Studies of stellar magnetic fields mostly rely on proxies derived from chromospheric lines, typically forming in the UV and shorter wavelengths and therefore accessible only from space based observatories. Even Ca II K or H observations, forming in regions accessible from the ground, are not always available. As a result, there is a crucial need to explore alternative activity proxies to overcome the limitations posed by observational constraints. Using sun-as-a-star observations acquired with the ISS at SOLIS we investigated the correlation between the Ca II K emission index and indices derived from the Hα 656.3 nm and Ca II 854.2 nm lines, which are well known chromospheric diagnostics. We found that both the core intensities and widths of the two lines are positively correlated with the Ca II K emission index (ρ ≳ 0.8), indicating their suitability as reliable indicators of magnetic activity, the width of the Hα line showing the highest correlation (ρ = 0.9). We also found that such correlations vary with the activity cycle. Specifically, during the analyzed cycle 24, the correlations with the Ca II K index varied 14% for the Hα width, 33% for the Hα core intensity, and doubled for the two Ca II 854.2 nm line indices. These results suggest that, among the investigated indices, the Hα width best traces magnetic activity. Results are discussed at the light of current knowledge of the formation heights of the two lines, and of spatially resolved solar observations.
对恒星磁场的研究大多依赖于色球层线得出的近似值,这些线通常形成于紫外线和较短波长,因此只能从空间观测站获得。即使是在地面可以观测到的区域内形成的 Ca II K 或 H 观测数据,也并非总能获得。因此,亟需探索替代活动代用指标,以克服观测制约带来的限制。利用国际空间站在 SOLIS 上获取的太阳-恒星观测数据,我们研究了 Ca II K 发射指数与 Hα 656.3 nm 和 Ca II 854.2 nm 线得出的指数之间的相关性。我们发现这两条线的核心强度和宽度都与 Ca II K 发射指数呈正相关(ρ ≳0.8),表明它们适合作为磁活动的可靠指标,其中 Hα 线的宽度显示出最高的相关性(ρ = 0.9)。我们还发现,这种相关性随活动周期而变化。具体来说,在分析的周期 24 中,Hα 宽度与 Ca II K 指数的相关性变化了 14%,Hα 核心强度变化了 33%,而两个 Ca II 854.2 nm 线指数的相关性变化了一倍。这些结果表明,在所研究的指数中,Hα 宽度最能追踪磁活动。根据目前对这两条线形成高度的了解,以及对太阳空间分辨观测的了解,对结果进行了讨论。

Infrared observation is a crucial tool in the study of astronomical celestial bodies. Metamaterials have a vast prospect for applications in the field of optics due to their unique electromagnetic tunable characteristics. In order to obtain an ultra-broadband high absorption material in the infrared region, we proposed a metal-dielectric-metal-dielectric-metal (MDMDM) metamaterial absorber using a titanium (Ti) nano-cross layer based on surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonance and magnetic resonance cavity principles. The geometrical parameters of each layer have been examined carefully. The influence of incident angle from 0° to 60° is investigated for transverse electric and transverse magnetic plane-waves. Near-perfect absorption performance is achieved from near-infrared to mid-infrared region. The average absorption reaches as high as 97.41% from 2.05 to 6.08 μm. The absorber exhibits polarization-sensitive characteristics. The absorption peaks are 99.50% and 99.80% at 2.55 and 5.24 μm, respectively. The proposed material has potential applications in astronomical imaging, volcano and fire detection, remote sensing, biological monitoring, and other optical devices.

The stellar evolution and chemical make-up of the Universe are determined by nuclear reactions occurring in a wide variety of stellar sites. Precise determinations of the cross sections of these reactions are crucial for the calculation of reaction rates and for the development of stellar evolution models. The Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics (LUNA) collaboration has been at the forefront of the direct measurement of nuclear reactions at the low energies of astrophysical interest for the last 35 years. The many significant results achieved at LUNA have been made possible due to the low background conditions uniquely available thanks to its location deep underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. Another key aspect of these successes is due to the experience of the LUNA collaboration in the production and characterization of a variety of solid targets used in reaction measurements. In this review, the main production techniques of solid targets are described, as well as the common methods adopted for target degradation monitoring. We also present the results of recent measurements using these targets and the future plans of the LUNA collaboration for measurements using solid targets at the LUNA400 kV and the new Ion Beam Facility (IBF) 3.5 MV are also presented.
恒星的演化和宇宙的化学构成是由发生在各种恒星部位的核反应决定的。精确测定这些反应的截面对于计算反应速率和建立恒星演化模型至关重要。在过去的 35 年里,地下核天体物理学实验室(LUNA)的合作一直处于直接测量天体物理学感兴趣的低能量核反应的前沿。地下核天体物理学实验室(LUNA)之所以能够取得许多重大成果,是因为它位于大萨索国家实验室(Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso)的地下深处,具有得天独厚的低背景条件。这些成功的另一个关键因素是 LUNA 在生产和表征反应测量中使用的各种固体靶材方面积累了丰富的经验。在这篇综述中,我们将介绍固体靶材的主要生产技术,以及用于靶材降解监测的常用方法。我们还介绍了最近使用这些靶的测量结果,并介绍了 LUNA 合作组织未来在 LUNA400 kV 和新离子束设施 (IBF) 3.5 MV 使用固体靶进行测量的计划。

In 1961, Dungey suggested that magnetic reconnection occurs due to the solar-terrestrial interaction. The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is thought to merge with Earth’s geomagnetic field (GMF). After the reconnection process the newly formed magnetic flux tube, consisting of both the IMF and GMF, moves anti-sunward. Poleward-moving auroral forms (PMAFs) are believed to be the ionospheric signatures of this process, which transfers magnetic flux from the dayside to the nightside. This paper looks at the connection between the solar wind speed and the motion of the PMAF as it moves from the auroral oval, anti-sunward, into the polar cap. PMAFs are identified using both the meridian scanning photometer (MSP) and colored all-sky camera (ASC). Once the PMAFs are identified, the PMAF-SLOPE, vα (units of degrees per time) and the angle (αPMAF) the PMAF makes with the horizontal (Time axis), in the MSP plot are calculated. These values (vα and αPMAF) are individually plotted against the vx-component of the solar wind speed and the flow speed (total solar wind speed). The plots generate linear a relationship between PMAF-SLOPEs, vα, [or PMAF angles (αPMAF)], and the vx-component of the solar wind speed (or the flow speed). A total of 57 PMAF events from 8 different days were associated with solar wind speeds (vx-component) ranging from 344 to 679 km/s. The first linear plot, between the PMAF-SLOPE and solar wind speed (vx-component), shows a high correlation: rvα=0.944. A second linear plot, between αPMAF and the solar wind speed (vx-component) shows a very high correlation: rαPMAF=0.973. The conclusions obtained from this statistical study are: 1) both the PMAF-SLOPE vα and αPMAF are highly correlated to the vx-component of the solar wind, increasing when vx increases and vice versa, 2) PMAFs must be connected to both the IMF and GMF and are dragged anti-sunward, mostly by the vx-component of the solar wind, and 3) PMAFs are indeed the ionospheric footprints of a newly formed magnetic flux tube, due to dayside magnetic reconnection, being transferred from the dayside to nightside.
1961 年,邓吉提出,磁重联的发生是由于日地相互作用。行星际磁场(IMF)被认为与地球的地磁场(GMF)合并。在重联过程之后,新形成的磁通管(由星际磁场和地磁场组成)向反太阳方向移动。极向移动极光(PMAF)被认为是这一过程的电离层特征,它将磁通量从日侧转移到夜侧。本文研究了极光椭圆形反向移动进入极盖时太阳风速度与极光椭圆形运动之间的联系。利用子午扫描光度计(MSP)和彩色全天空照相机(ASC)识别 PMAF。一旦识别出 PMAF,就可以计算出 MSP 图中的 PMAF-SLOPE、vα(单位:度/时间)和 PMAF 与水平方向(时间轴)的夹角 (αPMAF)。这些值(vα 和 αPMAF)分别与太阳风速和流速(太阳总风速)的 vx 分量相对应。这些曲线图在 PMAF-SLOPE、vα[或 PMAF 角 (αPMAF)]和太阳风速(或流速)的 vx 分量之间产生线性关系。在 8 个不同的日子里,共有 57 个 PMAF 事件与太阳风速度(vx 分量)有关,太阳风速度(vx 分量)从 344 公里/秒到 679 公里/秒不等。PMAF-SLOPE 与太阳风速度(vx 分量)之间的第一个线性图显示出高度相关性:rvα=0.944。αPMAF与太阳风速(vx分量)之间的第二张线性图显示出很高的相关性:rαPMAF=0.973。这项统计研究得出的结论是1)PMAF-SLOPE vα 和 αPMAF 都与太阳风的 vx 分量高度相关,当 vx 增大时,PMAF 增大,反之亦然;2)PMAF 必须与 IMF 和 GMF 相连,并且主要受太阳风 vx 分量的拖曳而反向向太阳移动;3)PMAF 确实是新形成的磁通量管的电离层足迹,由于日侧磁重联而从日侧转移到夜侧。

The influence of the Sun on the Earth’s atmosphere and climate has been a matter of hot debate for more than two centuries. In spite of the correlations found between the sunspot numbers and various atmospheric parameters, the mechanisms for such influences are not quite clear yet. Though great progress has been recently made, a major problem remains: the correlations are not stable, they may strengthen, weaken, disappear, and even change sign depending on the time period. None of the proposed so far mechanisms explains this temporal variability. The basis of all solar activity is the solar magnetic field which cyclically oscillates between its two components—poloidal and toroidal. We first briefly describe the operation of the solar dynamo transforming the poloidal field into toroidal and back, the evaluated relative variations of these two components, and their geoeffective manifestations. We pay special attention to the reconstruction of the solar irradiance as the key natural driver of climate. We point at some problems in reconstructing the long-term irradiance variations and the implications of the different irradiance composite series on the estimation of the role of the Sun in climate change. We also comment on the recent recalibration of the sunspot number as the only instrumentally measured parameter before 1874, and therefore of crucial importance for reconstructing the solar irradiance variations and their role in climate change. We summarize the main proposed mechanisms of solar influences on the atmosphere, and list some of the modelling and experimental results either confirming or questioning them. Two irradiance-driven mechanisms have been proposed. The “bottom-up” mechanism is based on the enhanced absorption of solar irradiance by the oceans in relatively cloud-free equatorial and subtropical regions, amplified by changes in the temperature gradients, circulation, and cloudiness. The “top-down” mechanism involves absorption by the stratospheric ozone of solar UV radiation whose variability is much greater than that of the visible one, and changes of large-scale circulation patterns like the stratospheric polar vortex and the tropospheric North Atlantic Oscillation. The positive phase of the tropospheric North Atlantic Oscillation indicative of a strong vortex is found to lag by a couple of years the enhanced UV in Smax. It was however shown that this positive response is not due to lagged UV effects but instead to precipitating energetic particles which also peak a couple of years after Smax. The solar wind and its transients modulate the flux of galactic cosmic rays which are the main source of ionization of the Earth’s atmosphere below ∼50 km. This modulation leads to modulation of the production of aerosols which are cloud condensation nuclei, and to modulation of cloudiness. Increased cloudiness decreases the solar irradiance reaching the low atmosphere and the Earth’s surface. Variations of the galactic cosmic rays also le
两个多世纪以来,太阳对地球大气和气候的影响一直是人们热议的问题。尽管发现太阳黑子数量与各种大气参数之间存在相关性,但这种影响的机制尚不十分明确。尽管最近取得了很大进展,但一个主要问题依然存在:相关性并不稳定,它们可能增强、减弱、消失,甚至根据时间段的不同而改变符号。迄今为止提出的机制都无法解释这种时间上的变化。所有太阳活动的基础是太阳磁场,它在两个组成部分--环形磁场和环形磁场--之间周期性地摆动。我们首先简要描述了太阳动力学将极磁场转化为环磁场再返回的运行过程,评估了这两个分量的相对变化,以及它们的地球效应表现。我们特别关注作为气候主要自然驱动力的太阳辐照度的重建。我们指出了重建长期辐照度变化的一些问题,以及不同辐照度综合序列对估计太阳在气候变化中的作用的影响。我们还评论了最近对太阳黑子数的重新校准,太阳黑子数是 1874 年前唯一的仪器测量参数,因此对重建太阳辐照度变化及其在气候变化中的作用至关重要。我们总结了太阳对大气影响的主要机制,并列举了一些证实或质疑这些机制的模拟和实验结果。人们提出了两种辐照度驱动机制。自下而上 "的机制是基于相对无云的赤道和亚热带地区的海洋对太阳辐照度的吸收增强,并通过温度梯度、环流和云量的变化而放大。自上而下 "的机制包括平流层臭氧对太阳紫外线辐射的吸收(紫外线辐射的变化远大于可见光辐射),以及平流层极地涡旋和对流层北大西洋涛动等大尺度环流模式的变化。研究发现,对流层北大西洋涛动的正相位表明存在一个强漩涡,它比 Smax 中增强的紫外线滞后几年。然而,研究表明,这种积极反应并不是由于滞后的紫外线影响,而是由于高能粒子的沉淀,而高能粒子的沉淀也在 Smax 之后几年达到峰值。太阳风及其瞬变可调节银河宇宙射线的通量,而银河宇宙射线是使∼50 公里以下地球大气电离的主要来源。这种调节导致气溶胶(云凝结核)的产生和云量的调节。云量的增加会降低到达低层大气和地球表面的太阳辐照度。银河宇宙射线的变化也会导致极冠中电流和电离层电位的变化,这可能会加强云中的微物理过程,从而也会导致云量的变化。太阳高能粒子是在太阳爆发事件中产生的。它们产生活性奇氢 HOx 和氮 NOx,催化破坏中间层和上平流层的臭氧--"直接效应"。在极夜缺乏光离子化的情况下,氮氧化物的寿命较长,它们可以下降到较低的高度,在那里破坏臭氧,产生延迟的 "间接效应"。在没有阳光的情况下,臭氧会吸收地球和大气层发出的长波辐射。与电离增加有关的臭氧消耗会导致极地中层大气变冷,增强极地和中纬度之间的温度反差,从而增强平流层极地涡旋的强度。太阳高能粒子虽然威力巨大,但却是零星和罕见的事件。高能粒子的另一个来源是被困在地球磁层中的电子,它们在地磁扰动期间被加速并析出到大气中。它们的能量较低,但始终存在。它们的影响与太阳高能粒子的影响相同:产生更多破坏臭氧的活性 HOx 和 NOx,导致更强的漩涡和北大西洋涛动的正相。研究表明,太阳活动与大气参数之间相关性的逆转具有 60 年的周期性,与大尺度大气环流主要形式的演变有关,其发生也具有类似的周期性。大尺度环流形式反过来又受到极地涡旋状态的影响,极地涡旋可以通过行星波的传播影响对流层-平流层的相互作用。

Resonant interactions with whistler-mode waves are a crucial mechanism that drives the precipitation of energetic electrons. Using test particle simulations, we investigated the impact of nonlinear interactions of whistler-mode waves on electron precipitation across a broad energy range (10 keV- 1 MeV). Specifically, we focused on the combined effects of conventional phase bunching and anomalous scattering, which includes anomalous trapping and positive bunching. It is shown that anomalous scattering transports electrons away from the loss cone and the only process directly causing precipitation in the nonlinear regime is the phase bunching. We further show that their combined effects result in a precipitation-to-trapped flux ratio lower than the quasilinear expectations in a quasi-equilibrium state. Additionally, we calculated the diffusion and advection coefficients associated with the nonlinear trapping and bunching processes, which are vital for understanding the underlying mechanisms of the precipitation. Based on these coefficients, we characterized the phase bunching boundary, representing the innermost pitch angle boundary where phase bunching can occur. A further analysis revealed that electrons just outside this boundary, rather than near the loss cone, are directly precipitated, while electrons within the boundary are prevented from precipitation due to anomalous scattering. Moreover, we demonstrated that the regime of dominant nonlinear precipitation is determined by the combination of the phase bunching boundary and the inhomogeneity ratio. This comprehensive analysis provides insights into the nonlinear effects of whistler-mode waves on electron precipitation, which are essential for understanding physical processes related to precipitation, such as microbursts, characterized by intense and bursty electron precipitation.
与惠斯勒模式波的共振相互作用是驱动高能电子析出的重要机制。通过测试粒子模拟,我们研究了惠斯勒模式波的非线性相互作用对宽能量范围(10 keV-1 MeV)内电子析出的影响。具体来说,我们重点研究了传统相束流和反常散射(包括反常陷波和正束流)的综合影响。结果表明,反常散射会将电子从损耗锥转移走,而在非线性机制中直接导致沉淀的唯一过程是相位束射。我们进一步证明,它们的共同作用导致在准平衡状态下,析出与俘获通量比低于准线性预期。此外,我们还计算了与非线性捕集和束集过程相关的扩散和平流系数,这对理解降水的基本机制至关重要。根据这些系数,我们确定了相束缚边界的特征,它代表了可能发生相束缚的最内侧俯仰角边界。进一步的分析表明,该边界外而非损耗锥附近的电子会直接析出,而边界内的电子则由于异常散射而无法析出。此外,我们还证明了非线性析出的主导机制是由相束缚边界和不均匀性比率共同决定的。这种全面的分析提供了关于啸模波对电子析出的非线性效应的见解,这对理解与析出有关的物理过程(如以强烈的迸发电子析出为特征的微暴)至关重要。
