Titolo: | Bright Hot Impacts by Erupted Fragments Falling Back on the Sun: Magnetic Channelling | Autori: | PETRALIA, ANTONINO Reale, Fabio ORLANDO, Salvatore Testa, P. |
Data pubblicazione: | 2016 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL | Numero: | 832 | Fascicolo: | 1 | Da pagina:: | 2 | Abstract: | Dense plasma fragments were observed to fall back on the solar surface by the Solar Dynamics Observatory after an eruption on 2011 June 7, producing strong extreme-ultraviolet brightenings. Previous studies investigated impacts in regions of weak magnetic field. Here we model the ∼ 300 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> impact of fragments channelled by the magnetic field close to active regions. In the observations, the magnetic channel brightens before the fragment impact. We use a 3D-MHD model of spherical blobs downfalling in a magnetized atmosphere. The blob parameters are constrained from the observation. We run numerical simulations with different ambient densitie and magnetic field intensities. We compare the model emission in the 171 Å channel of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly with the observed one. We find that a model of downfall channelled in an ∼1 MK coronal loop confined by a magnetic field of ∼10-20 G, best explains qualitatively and quantitatively the observed evolution. The blobs are highly deformed and further fragmented when the ram pressure becomes comparable to the local magnetic pressure, and they are deviated to be channelled by the field because of the differential stress applied by the perturbed magnetic field. Ahead of them, in the relatively dense coronal medium, shock fronts propagate, heat, and brighten the channel between the cold falling plasma and the solar surface. This study shows a new mechanism that brightens downflows channelled by the magnetic field, such as in accreting young stars, and also works as a probe of the ambient atmosphere, providing information about the local plasma density and magnetic field. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26438 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/0004-637X/832/1/2 | ISSN: | 0004-637X | DOI: | 10.3847/0004-637X/832/1/2 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016ApJ...832....2P | Fulltext: | open |
