The Magnetic Field

Although the photosphere is a uniform region for scales greater than the granulation, the fact that the magnetic field strength falls off less sharply than the gas pressure leads to strong magnetic influence at greater heights in the solar atmosphere. This magnetic influence leads to non-uniformity and fine structure in the chromosphere and corona. The existence of such structure has been deduced mostly from measurements of photospheric phenomena; in particular, from measurements of photospheric velocity fields (Leighton, Noyes & Simon 1962) and of photospheric magnetic fields (Bumba & Howard 1965). The determining factor would thus appear to be in the photosphere; but visible effects only are produced in the chromosphere and corona. In recent years, high resolution filter photography has enabled us to recognize different regions of the chromosphere, where qualitatively different structure is associated with distinct magnetic field patterns. This progress has been possible because of better Lyot filters, better films and better observing sites; the spectroheliograph has always been limited for high resolution work by the finite slit width and the difficulty of accurate guiding during the long exposures.

1.The fine structure of the proton sunspot group of July 4–8, 1966 was studied on the basis of high-resolution heliograms. The comparison of the orientation between penumbral filaments and the transverse magnetic fields (observed by A.B. Severny and T.T. Tsap) shows that the direction of the filaments coincides in general with that of the magnetic field.2.Measurements of the magnetic fields of smallest pores (1·5″-2″) showed that the pores are always connected with strong magnetic field (in average 1400 gauss), which is localized at the same small area as the pore.3.Magnetic fields of faculae are concentrated in small elements with the dimension not exceeding 1·5″-3″. Magnetic-field strength H|| of about 45% of facular granules is within the limits of photographic measuring errors (approximately 25 gauss). For a quarter of all facular granules the strength H|| is from 25–50 gauss; about 30% of facular granules have H|| > 50 gauss, and sometimes there appear faculae with field strength of about 200 gauss. The magnetic-field strength of facular granules, which are found directly above spots, is 10–20 times less than the field strength of spots. This field is 80–210 gauss only.4.All observational data mentioned above show that the appearance of the fine-structure features in active regions is directly connected with the fine structure of magnetic field of different strength and different orientation. The study of high-resolution heliograms gives additional information about the fine structure of the magnetic field.

AbstractWe analysed calibrated Stokes V magnetograms and simultaneously measured Stokes I spectra of high spatial and spectral resolution taken in a medium sized sunspot. We found a clear (anti-) correlation between the brightness variation of penumbral structures and the longitudinal component (B*cosγ) of the magnetic field. No azimuthal variation of the amount of the magnetic field strength (B) was observed across dark and bright structures. There the field is more vertical in bright filaments compared to dark ones.

Continuum observations of the southern extension of the radio Arc located near 1~0.2° have been carried out at λ20 and 6cm using the VLA in its hybrid B/C and C/D array configurations. A number of long and narrow filaments have been identified on the negative latitude side of the plane. Some of the filaments appear to extend continuously into the radio continuum Arc and suggesting strongly that they are associated physically with the Arc. Other filaments appear isolated and thus have characteristics similar to those of the radio “threads” which have been seen near the Galactic center. These new threads and filaments are highly polarized at λ6cm and show rotation measures which vary between 300 and 3000 rad m−2. The details present in the high-resolution images of this region strengthen the hypotheses that the large field strength is dynamically important and that the large-scale geometry of the magnetic field is poloidal near the Galactic center.

Observations have been made at 21 cm with a resolution of 11′ to look for fine structure in the polarization distribution. In the North Polar Spur, the angular scale of the polarization parameters varies with latitude. This is attributed to an increase in the irregularity of the magnetic field in the Spur with latitude.

SummaryMeasurements of the radial velocities and magnetic field strength of β CrB were carried out. It is shown that there is a variability with the rotation period different for various elements. The curve of the magnetic field variation measured from lines of 5 different elements: FeI, CrI, CrII, TiII, ScII and CaI has a complex shape specific for each element. This may be due to the presence of magnetic spots on the stellar surface. A comparison with the radial velocity curves suggests the presence of a least 4 spots of Ti and Cr coinciding with magnetic spots. A change of the magnetic field with optical depth is shown. The curve of the Heffvariation with the rotation period is given. A possibility of secular variations of the magnetic field is shown.

A new high-voltage electron microscope (H-1500) specially aiming at super-high-resolution (1.0 Å point-to-point resolution) is now installed in National Institute for Research in Inorganic Materials ( NIRIM ), in collaboration with Hitachi Ltd. The national budget of about 1 billion yen including that for a new building has been spent for the construction in the last two years (1988-1989). Here we introduce some essential characteristics of the microscope.(1) According to the analysis on the magnetic field in an electron lens, based on the finite-element-method, the spherical as well as chromatic aberration coefficients ( Cs and Cc ). which enables us to reach the resolving power of 1.0Å. have been estimated as a function of the accelerating As a result of the calculaton. it was noted that more than 1250 kV is needed even when we apply the highest level of the technology and materials available at present. On the other hand, we must consider the protection against the leakage of X-ray. We have then decided to set the conventional accelerating voltage at 1300 kV. However. the maximum accessible voltage is 1500 kV, which is practically important to realize higher voltage stabillity. At 1300 kV it is expected that Cs= 1.7 mm and Cc=3.4 mm with the attachment of the specimen holder, which tilts bi-axially in an angle of 35° ( Fig.1 ). In order to minimize the value of Cc a small tank is additionally placed inside the generator tank, which must serve to seal the magnetic field around the acceleration tube. An electron gun with LaB6 tip is used.

This paper discusses the forced convective heat transfer characteristics of water–ethylene glycol (EG)-based Fe3O4 nanofluid and Fe3O4–MWCNT hybrid nanofluid under the effect of a magnetic field. The results indicated that the convective heat transfer coefficient of magnetic nanofluids increased with an increase in the strength of the magnetic field. When the magnetic field strength was varied from 0 to 750 G, the maximum convective heat transfer coefficients were observed for the 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 and 0.1 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT nanofluids, and the improvements were approximately 2.78% and 3.23%, respectively. The average pressure drops for 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 and 0.2 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT nanofluids increased by about 4.73% and 5.23%, respectively. Owing to the extensive aggregation of nanoparticles by the external magnetic field, the heat transfer coefficient of the 0.1 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT hybrid nanofluid was 5% higher than that of the 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 nanofluid. Therefore, the convective heat transfer can be enhanced by the dispersion stability of the nanoparticles and optimization of the magnetic field strength.

Context. Observations indicate that wind can be generated in hot accretion flow. Wind generated from weakly magnetized accretion flow has been studied. However, the properties of wind generated from strongly magnetized hot accretion flow have not been studied. Aims. In this paper, we study the properties of wind generated from both weakly and strongly magnetized accretion flow. We focus on how the magnetic field strength affects the wind properties. Methods. We solve steady-state two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations of black hole accretion in the presence of a largescale magnetic field. We assume self-similarity in radial direction. The magnetic field is assumed to be evenly symmetric with the equatorial plane. Results. We find that wind exists in both weakly and strongly magnetized accretion flows. When the magnetic field is weak (magnetic pressure is more than two orders of magnitude smaller than gas pressure), wind is driven by gas pressure gradient and centrifugal forces. When the magnetic field is strong (magnetic pressure is slightly smaller than gas pressure), wind is driven by gas pressure gradient and magnetic pressure gradient forces. The power of wind in the strongly magnetized case is just slightly larger than that in the weakly magnetized case. The power of wind lies in a range PW ~ 10−4–10−3 Ṁinc2, with Ṁin and c being mass inflow rate and speed of light, respectively. The possible role of wind in active galactic nuclei feedback is briefly discussed.

Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) based on amorphous Fe-Si-B alloy magnetic particles were prepared. The influence of annealing treatment on stability and rheological property of MRFs was investigated. The saturation magnetization ( Ms) of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles after annealing at 550°C is 131.5 emu/g, which is higher than that of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles without annealing. Moreover, the stability of MRF with annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles is better than that of MRF without annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles. Stearic acid at 3 wt% was added to the MRF2 to enhance the fluid stability to greater than 90%. In addition, the rheological properties demonstrate that the prepared amorphous particle MRF shows relatively strong magnetic responsiveness, especially when the magnetic field strength reaches 365 kA/m. As the magnetic field intensified, the yield stress increased dramatically and followed the Herschel-Bulkley model.

Multichannel magnetocardiography measures the magnetic field distribution of the human heart noninvasively from many sites over the body surface. Multichannel magnetocardiogram (MCG) analysis enables regional temporal differences in the distribution of cardiac magnetic field strength during depolarization and repolarization to be identified, allowing estimation of the global and local inhomogeneity of the cardiac activation process. The aim of this study was to compare the spatial distribution of cardiac magnetic field strength during ventricular depolarization and repolarization in both normal subjects and patients with cardiac abnormalities, obtaining amplitude measurements by magnetocardiography. MCGs were recorded at 49 sites over the heart from three normal subjects and two patients with inverted T-wave conditions. The magnetic field intensity during depolarization and repolarization was measured automatically for each channel and displayed spatially as contour maps. A Pearson correlation was used to determine the spatial relationship between the variables. For normal subjects, magnetic field strength maps during depolarization (R-wave) showed two asymmetric regions of magnetic field strength with a high positive value in the lower half of the chest and a high negative value above this. The regions of high R-wave amplitude corresponded spatially to concentrated asymmetric regions of high magnetic field strength during repolarization (T-wave). Pearson-r correlation coefficients of 0.7 (p<0.01), 0.8 (p<0.01) and 0.9 (p<0.01) were obtained from this analysis for the three normal subjects. A negative correlation coefficient of -0.7 (p<0.01) was obtained for one of the subjects with inverted T-wave abnormalities, suggesting similar but inverted magnetic field and current distributions to normal subjects. Even with the high correlation values in these four subjects, the MCG was able to identify differences in the distribution of magnetic field strength, with a shift in the T-wave relative to the R-wave. The measurement of cardiac magnetic field distribution during depolarization and repolarization of normal subjects and patients with clinical abnormalities should enable the improvement of theoretical models for the explanation of the cardiac depolarization and repolarization processes.
