Solar flares are the strongest localized seismic disturbances on the solar surface. During the impulsive phase a high-energy electron beam heats the chromosphere, resulting in explosive evaporation of chromospheric plasma at supersonic velocities. This upward motion is balanced by a downward recoil in the lower part of the chromosphere that excites propagating waves in the solar interior. On the solar surface the outgoing circular flare waves resemble ripples from a pebble thrown into a pond. We report on first observations of the seismic effects of a solar flare from the SOHO Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) and compare the results with a theoretical model. Observation of flare seismic waves provide important information about the flare mechanism and about the subphotospheric structure of active regions.

AbstractIn this work, we analysed the physical parameters of the spotless actives regions observed during solar minimum 23 – 24 (2007 – 2010). The study was based on radio maps at 17 GHz obtained by the Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH) and magnetograms provided by the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The results shows that the spotless active regions presents the same radio characteristics of a ordinary one, they can live in the solar surface for long periods (>10 days), and also can present small flares.

Source Regions

Observations of the solar corona with the LASCO and EIT instruments on SOHO provide an unprecedented opportunity to study coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from their initiation through their evolution out to 30 R⊙. The objective of this study is to gain an understanding of the source regions from which the CMEs emanate. To this end, we have developed a list of 32 CMEs whose source regions are located on the solar disk and are well observed in EIT 195 Å data during the solar minimum phase of January 1996-May 1998. We compare the EIT source regions with photospheric magnetograms from the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instrument on SOHO and the NSO/Kitt Peak Observatory and also with Hα data from various sources. The overall results of our study show that 59% of the CME related transients observed in EIT 195 Å images are associated with active regions without prominences, 22% are associated with eruptions of prominences embedded in active regions and 19% are associated with eruptions of quiescent prominences. We describe 3 especially well observed events, one from each of these 3 categories. These case studies suggest that active region CMEs are associated with active regions with lifetimes between 11-80 days. They are also often associated with small scale emerging or cancelling flux over timescales of 6-7 hours. CMEs associated with active region prominence eruptions, on the other hand, are typically associated with old active regions with lifetimes ~ 6-7 months.

AbstractA review of methods of measuring magnetic fields in the solar corona using spectral-polarization observations at microwaves with high spatial resolution is presented. The methods are based on the theory of thermal bremsstrahlung, thermal cyclotron emission, propagation of radio waves in quasi-transverse magnetic field and Faraday rotation of the plane of polarization. The most explicit program of measurements of magnetic fields in the atmosphere of solar active regions has been carried out using radio observations performed on the large reflector radio telescope of the Russian Academy of Sciences — RATAN-600. This proved possible due to good wavelength coverage, multichannel spectrographs observations and high sensitivity to polarization of the instrument. Besides direct measurements of the strength of the magnetic fields in some cases the peculiar parameters of radio sources, such as very steep spectra and high brightness temperatures provide some information on a very complicated local structure of the coronal magnetic field. Of special interest are the results found from combined RATAN-600 and large antennas of aperture synthesis (VLA and WSRT), the latter giving more detailed information on twodimensional structure of radio sources. The bulk of the data obtained allows us to investigate themagnetospheresof the solar active regions as the space in the solar corona where the structures and physical processes are controlled both by the photospheric/underphotospheric currents and surrounding “quiet” corona.
