    摘要: In this paper, we present a detailed morphological, kinematic, and thermal analysis of two homologous magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) from NOAA 11515 on 2012 July 8--9. The study is based on multi-wavelength and dual-perspective imaging observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory Ahead spacecraft, which can well reveal the structure and evolution of the two MFRs. We find that both of the MFRs show up in multiple passbands and their emissions mainly consist of a cold component peaking at a temperature of $\sim$0.4--0.6 MK and a hot component peaking at $\sim$7--8 MK. The two MFRs exhibit erupting, expanding, and untwisting motions that manifest distinctive features from two different viewpoints. Their evolution can be divided into two stages, a fast-eruption stage with speeds of about 105--125 km s$^{-1}$ for MFR-1 and 50--65 km s$^{-1}$ for MFR-2 and a slow-expansion (or untwisting) stage with speeds of about 10--35 km s$^{-1}$ for MFR-1 and 10--30 km s$^{-1}$ for MFR-2 in the plane of sky. We also find that during the two-stage evolution, the high temperature features mainly appear in the interface region between MFRs and ambient magnetic structures and also in the center of MFRs, which suggests that some heating processes take place in such places like magnetic reconnection and plasma compression. These observational results indicate that the eruption and untwisting processes of MFRs are coupled with the heating process, among which an energy conversion exists.

  • Non-thermal electron energization during the impulsive phase of an X9.3 flare revealed by Insight-HXMT

    摘要: The X9.3 flare SOL20170906T11:55 was observed by the CsI detector aboard the first Chinese X-ray observatory Hard X-ray Modulation telescope (Insight-HXMT). By using wavelets method, we report about 22 s quasiperiodic pulsations(QPPs) during the impulsive phase. And the spectra from 100 keV to 800 keV showed the evolution with the gamma-ray flux, of a power-law photon index from $\sim 1.8$ before the peak, $\sim 2.0$ around the flare peak, to $\sim 1.8$ again. The gyrosynchrotron microwave spectral analysis reveals a $36.6 \pm 0.6 \arcsec$ radius gyrosynchrotron source with mean transverse magnetic field around 608.2 Gauss, and the penetrated $\ge$ 10 keV non-thermal electron density is about $10^{6.7} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ at peak time. The magnetic field strength followed the evolution of high-frequency radio flux. Further gyrosynchrotron source modeling analysis implies that there exists a quite steady gyrosynchrotron source, the non-thermal electron density and transverse magnetic field evolution are similar to higher-frequency light curves. The temporally spectral analysis reveals that those non-thermal electrons are accelerated by repeated magnetic reconnection, likely from a lower corona source.

  • Fan-shaped jet close to a light bridge

    摘要: On the Sun,jets in light bridges are frequently observed with high-resolution instruments.The respective roles played by convection and the magnetic field in triggering such jets are not yet clear.We report a small fan-shaped jet along a LB observed by the 1.6m Goode Solar Telescope(GST) with the TiO Broadband Filter Imager(BFI),the Visible Imaging Spectrometer(VIS) in H{\alpha},and the Near-InfraRed Imaging Spectropolarimeter(NIRIS),along with the Stokes parameters.The high spatial and temporal resolution of those instruments allowed us to analyze the features identified during the jet event.By constructing the H{\alpha} Dopplergrams,we found that the plasma is first moving upward,whereas during the second phase of the jet,the plasma is flowing back.Working with time slice diagrams,we investigated the propagation-projected speed of the fan and its bright base.The fan-shaped jet developed within a few minutes,with diverging beams. At its base,a bright point was slipping along the LB and ultimately invaded the umbra of the sunspot.The H{\alpha} profiles of the bright points enhanced the intensity in the wings, similarly to the case of Ellerman bombs.Co-temporally,the extreme ultraviolet brightenings developed at the front of the dark material jet and moved at the same speed as the fan, leading us to propose that the fan-shaped jet material compressed and heated the ambient plasma at its extremities in the corona.Our multi-wavelength analysis indicates that the fan-shaped jet could result from magnetic reconnection across the highly diverging field low in the chromosphere,leading to an apparent slipping motion of the jet material along the LB.However,we did not find any opposite magnetic polarity at the jet base,as would typically be expected in such a configuration.We therefore discuss other plausible physical mechanisms,based on waves and convection, that may have triggered the event.

  • Nonlinear co-generation of graphene plasmons for optoelectronic logic operations

    摘要: Surface plasmons in graphene provide a compelling strategy for advanced photonic technologies thanks to their tight confinement, fast response and tunability. Recent advances in the field of all optical generation of graphene plasmons in planar waveguides offer a promising method for high speed signal processing in nanoscale integrated optoelectronic devices. Here, we use two counter propagating frequency combs with temporally synchronized pulses to demonstrate deterministic all optical generation and electrical control of multiple plasmon polaritons, excited via difference frequency generation (DFG). Electrical tuning of a hybrid graphene fibre device offers a precise control over the DFG phase matching, leading to tunable responses of the graphene plasmons at different frequencies across a broadband (0 - 50 THz) and provides a powerful tool for high speed logic operations. Our results offer insights for plasmonics on hybrid photonic devices based on layered materials and pave the way to high speed integrated optoelectronic computing circuits.
