Abstract

During a solar flare, the fluxes in various lines and continua of the solar spectrum increase, leading to enhanced ionization of the illuminated part of the Earth's ionosphere and an increase in the total electron content ( T E C $TEC$ ). It has been previously shown that nearly 50% of X-class solar flares exhibit a second peak in warm coronal lines, such as Fe XV and Fe XVI, (called the “EUV late phase”) the effect of which on the ionosphere remains largely unexplored. This study presents an analysis of the ionospheric response to 14 X-class flares with pronounced late phases. For the first time, empirical relationships between the increase in T E C $TEC$ and the solar flux enhancement during the impulsive and late phases of the flare are derived. Additionally, we demonstrate the influence of flare location on the intensity of geoeffective solar spectral lines and the ratio of the ionospheric responses to the impulsive and late phases of solar flares.

电离层总电子含量对不同中心到边缘位置的x级太阳耀斑脉冲和后期的响应
在太阳耀斑期间,太阳光谱的各种线和连续线的通量增加,导致地球电离层被照射部分的电离增强,总电子含量增加(TEC$ TEC$)。以前的研究表明,近50%的x级太阳耀斑在温暖的日冕线上表现出第二个峰值,如Fe XV和Fe XVI,(称为“EUV后期”),其对电离层的影响在很大程度上仍未被探索。本研究分析了对14个具有明显后期的x级耀斑的电离层响应。首次导出了耀斑脉冲期和后期太阳通量增强与tcetec增加之间的经验关系。此外,我们还证明了耀斑位置对地球有效太阳谱线强度以及电离层响应与太阳耀斑脉冲和后期的比值的影响。
