AbstractThe Solar Flare Telescope was constructed at Mitaka in 1989. This instrument comprises four telescopes which respectively observe (a) Hα images, (b) continuum images, (c) vector magnetic fields, and (d) velocity fields in the photosphere. The instrument aims at the study of energy build-up and energy release in solar flares, in cooperation with the Solar-A satellite. The whole system has been in regular operation since 1992 July. The methods of measuring the magnetic and velocity fields are described.

By means of Solar Magnetic Field Telescope, the fine structure of video magnetic fields (5324A) and sight-of-line velocity fields (4861A) of flare active region on July 23 (E53, S19) and Aug. 8(W25, S28) in 1987 has been obtained. The main characters are following:1. The flares occur in places where there are compressive and osmotic motion between opposite magnetic poles. In some causes, the osmotic opposite magnetic pole dissipates after the flares.

AbstractRecent observations have provided evidence that the solar photospheric magnetic fields could have rapid and permanent changes in both longitudinal and transverse components associated with large (X- or M-class) solar flares. However, few observations have been reported about small flares. In this paper we find the observational evidence of changing photospheric vector magnetic fields associated with a B4.2-class flare obtained with the Solar Magnetic Field Telescope (SMFT) installed at Huairou Solar Observing Station (HSOS) of Nation Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The investigations of plasma motions at the initial phases of solar flares (Antonucci and Dennis, 1983; Doschek, 1983; Watanabe, 1987) suggest evaporation from the chromospheric flaring area. According to de Jager (1983) when seen at the limb the evaporated plasma will look like a “convective plume” and it can be seen separated from heated footpoint areas.The subject of this work is the study of the possibility of forming hydrodynamic structures o-f thermal and starting plume's kind at the time of evaporation of the upper chromosphere in a flaring area. Also the possibility of increasing an initial magnetic field by a periodically moving vortex in a plume structure is investigated.


During the period of the 1980 solar maximum three space missions (P78-1, Solar Maximum Mission and Hinotori ) carried out extensive studies of solar flares. In their different ways all of these missions contributed significant new information to our understanding of the solar flare phenomenon. In this volume the contribution made by these three spacecraft to the study of the energy release and the related creation of high-tem perature plasma, the transport of energy from the primary release site, the production of gamma-rays at energies up to 10 MeV and the ejection of solar matter into interplanetary space are reviewed.

The resistive tearing mode instability is a mechanism that in some cases will render unstable a magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium of a plasma that is ideally stable, i.e. stable if no dissipative oiesses are taken into account. There is much experimental evidence that this instability is the cause of the current disruptions observed in laboratory plasma devices (von Goeler et al. 1974). In the astrophysical context, the instability has been invoked in connection with the solar flare energy release mechanism (Coppi and Friedland 1971) and the problem of the disconnection of the protostar matter from the interstellar magnetic field during star formation (Mestel 1966). In the latter problem the tearing instability gives rise to a much smaller timescale for magnetic reconnection than does ordinary resistive diffusion.

AbstractThe historical development of optical instruments for solar physics is outlined, from white light to unpolarized and polarized monochromatic light, to Stokes profiles and simultaneous fields of view, from points to lines, plane to cube. An evolutionary series and classificaton of instruments for the solar magnetic field is described. As a next step the 2-D real time polarizing spectrograph has been proposed. The planned instruments in China for measurements of solar magnetic and velocity fields are briefly introduced.

<p>Solar flares originate from the release of the energy stored in the magnetic field of solar active regions. Generally, the photospheric magnetograms of active regions are used as the input of the solar flare forecasting model. However, solar flares are considered to occur in the low corona. Therefore, the role of 3D magnetic field of active regions in the solar flare forecast should be explored. We extrapolate the 3D magnetic field using the potential model for all the active regions during 2010 to 2017, and then the deep learning method is applied to extract the precursors of solar flares in the 3D magnetic field data. We find that the 3D magnetic field of active regions is helpful to build a deep learning based forecasting model.</p>

We present study of solar flare of 19 July 2000 which arose in active region NOAA 9087 and had M 5.6 / 3N importance. Observational material was obtained with the Echelle spectrograph of the horizontal solar telescope of the Astronomical Observatory of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. The local magnetic fields in this flare were measured by the splitting of emissive peaks of the FeI 5269.54, FeII 4923.93, Нα, Нβ, Нγand D3 HeI lines. The basic idea of the method is based on the fact that the flare emission in some spectral lines is clearly divided into two components: (1) wider and unpolarized, and (2) more narrow and polarized, with significant Zeeman splitting. This is indication to the two-component structure of the magnetic field, with substantially different magnetic fields and thermodynamical conditions in these two components. Due to the fact that the polarized emission is quite confidently separated from the unpolarized, it is possible to measure the local magnetic fields directly in the second (strong) component regardless of the filling factor. It was found that in the bright place of this flare, which was projected on the sunspot penumbra, the effective magnetic field Beff in the FeI 6301.5 i 6302.5 lines measured by splitting of the Fraunhofer profiles, was 900 G. However, the splitting of emissive peaks in Нα, Нβ, Нγ and D3 lines corresponds to 1000 G, 1400 G, 1450 G and about zero, respectively, with errors of 30-50 G for abovenamed FeI lines and about 100–150 G for other lines. This difference in the results is probably due to the fact that in the case of FeI 6301.5 i 6302.5 lines, the Beff value represents several parameters, including the value of the background field, the filling factor, and the intensity of the local fields in the strong component. In contrast, data on the Нα, Нβ, Нγ, and D3 lines mainly reflect local fields in the strong component and indicate the nonmonotonous distribution of the magnetic field with height in solar atmosphere, with its maximum at the chromospheric level. Earlier in this flare, when constructing its semi-empirical model, local amplification of the magnetic field at the photospheric level was discovered, and its value reached 1500 G. These data are confirmed by direct measurements of splitting of emissive peaks in FeI 5269.54 and FeII 4923.93 lines, according to which the magnetic field in the flare was 1250 ± 100 G. Thus, in this flare there were at least two regions (possibly two flat layers) of local amplification of the magnetic field.
