After spectral processing, the integral radiation fluxes in the lines were determined and the physical parameters of the plasma were calculated theoretically using a model in the absence of local thermodynamic equilibrium. Comparison of the observed and calculated values showed that the observed radiation fluxes in the lines can be explained in a model of stationary gas radiation taking into account the opacity in the spectral lines. To calculate the theoretical fluxes, in some cases, it was necessary to introduce radiation from several layers with different temperatures and heights. The calculated radiation fluxes agree with the observed ones to within 10%. As a result of the simulation, the main parameters of the plasma of the prominence were obtained: temperature, concentration, etc. The values of the radiation fluxes in the spectral lines are evidence of inhomogeneity of the emitting gas, and there may be regions next to each other with temperatures differing by an order of magnitude.</p>","PeriodicalId":55597,"journal":{"name":"Geomagnetism and Aeronomy","volume":"64 1","pages":"19 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140055397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For pairs of pressure–radon and pressure–ion variables, a delayed pumping effect was revealed, similar to that previously observed for neutrons and gamma rays. A simple phenomenological model is presented to explain the results obtained. Within this model, the delay is caused by the gradual accumulation of radon in the room as atmospheric pressure decreases. The balance of the accumulation rate of radon, the time of its radioactive decay, and the characteristic time of pressure variations leads to an effective delay of 2 days between variations in atmospheric pressure and radon concentration.

At present, this OH* temperature series, which reflects the thermal state of the mesopause region, is the longest in the world. On its basis, the linear trend and response of temperature to changes in solar activity are estimated both in general for the entire data set and for individual time intervals. In the first case, the trend was –0.23 ± 0.04 K/year. In the second case, the analysis showed a strong cooling in the mesopause region (–0.53 ± 0.34 K/yr) until the 1970s, which subsequently slowed to –0.14 ± 0.03 K/yr.

The map obtained from red wing wavelengths at the half of line depth of the Fe I λ 6302 Å line makes it easy to detect these flows. They represent visible fragments of penumbral filaments as they turn sharply before entering the deep layers at the junction of the penumbra and the undisturbed photosphere. The PSD regions observed in this way are a part of the penumbral region where magnetic field lines bend relative to the plane parallel to the spectrometer’s aperture and experience polarity reversal of the longitudinal field. The polarity reversal zone is clearly visible on the map constructed from the values of signed net circular polarization (sNCP), i.e., the NCP values multiplied by the sign of the field. The region where the sNCP changes sign is characterized by elevated values of line-of-sight velocities, measured from the center of gravity of the circular polarization absolute value. In most cases, PSDs are observed on the limb side of the penumbra. On the side of the solar disk center, PSDs can be detected by other means, in particular, a map can be constructed from the positions of the centers of gravity of the red lobe in the linear polarization profile.

Data on the distribution of magnetic field vector components in the photosphere provided by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) are used to detect the large-scale electric current and calculate its magnitude. Photogeliograms of the solar corona in ultraviolet (UV) channels 131, 171, 193, and 211 Å provided by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA/SDO) instrument are used to estimate the temperature in the corona above active regions (ARs). The following results have been obtained: (1) Outside the time of solar flares, a coronal structure with a temperature of 10 MK or more, which was observed for the entire time interval of AR monitoring and marked the location of a large-scale electric current channel at coronal heights, is detected in the central part above the studied AR. (2) The existence of the high-temperature coronal structure over a long time interval indicates a stationary mode of coronal matter heating due to the ohmic dissipation of large-scale electric currents.
