This book was released on 1973 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and radio (8.6mm) observations have been analyzed in order to obtain information about the chromospheric layers of solar quiet and active regions. Correlations between EUV lines, EUV continua and 8.6 mm radiation have been obtained. On the basis of these correlations and theoretical considerations the authors suggest that as a first approximation EUV chromospheric lines are formed at the same temperatures in quiet and active regions. The increased density in active regions causes an increase in EUV chromospheric emission through a reduction in the non-LTE departure coefficients. The 8 mm brightness temperature increases in active regions because the larger optical depth causes the 8 mm radiation to be emitted from higher and hotter layers in active regions than in quiet regions. The authors also find, as expected, a good correlation between the flaring rate of active regions and their 8 mm brightness temperatures. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: K. O. KIEPENHEUER ( Fraunhofer Institut, Freiburg i. Br., Germany) The present symposium, to my knowledge the largest ever held in the field of solar research (170 astronomers from 21 countries) was held in the building of the Hun garian Academy of Sciences in Budapest from September 4 to 8, 1967. It was the 35th symposium organized and sponsored by the International Astronomical Union. The majority of participants were financedfrom national sources. The Organizing Commit tee consisted of K. O. Kiepenheuer (Chairman), L. Davis, L. Dezso (Local Organizer), A.D. Fokker, R. Michard, A.B. Severny, H.J. Smith, Z. Svestka, and H. Tanaka. In order to ensure prompt publication, the manuscripts had to be supplied by the authors 1 month after the meeting. The discussions have been recorded on tape. Their reproduction in this book, however, is based almost completely on the contributors' writing down their comments and questions on the spot. Two special projects have been reported and discussed shortly during the sym posium: The world wide project 'Cooperative Study of Solar Active Regions' (CSSAR) organized by Dr. R. Michard, under the auspices of the IAU, which has put at the disposal of our solar community a precious observing material on Active Regions over a period of 6 months.

Download or read book The Solar Activity Cycle written by André Balogh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of papers edited by four experts in the field, this book sets out to describe the way solar activity is manifested in observations of the solar interior, the photosphere, the chromosphere, the corona and the heliosphere. The 11-year solar activity cycle, more generally known as the sunspot cycle, is a fundamental property of the Sun. This phenomenon is the generation and evolution of magnetic fields in the Sun’s convection zone, the photosphere. It is only by the careful enumeration and description of the phenomena and their variations that one can clarify their interdependences. The sunspot cycle has been tracked back about four centuries, and it has been recognized that to make this data set a really useful tool in understanding how the activity cycle works and how it can be predicted, a very careful and detailed effort is needed to generate sunspot numbers. This book deals with this topic, together with several others that present related phenomena that all indicate the physical processes that take place in the Sun and its exterior environment. The reviews in the book also present the latest theoretical and modelling studies that attempt to explain the activity cycle. It remains true, as has been shown in the unexpected characteristics of the first two solar cycles in the 21st century, that predictability remains a serious challenge. Nevertheless, the highly expert and detailed reviews in this book, using the very best solar observations from both ground- and space based telescopes, provide the best possible report on what is known and what is yet to be discovered.

Download or read book Solar Observations at 8 6 mm Wavelength written by Paul M. Kalaghan and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of manned space flights has focused attention on the biological threat posed by solar proton flares. In an effort to close one of the gaps in the observation of the solar spectrum, AFCRL has initiated a high resolution millimeter wavelength solar observation program. This report covers the observational approach and initial findings of this program based upon observations from May to December 1968. The equipment and procedures used to produce spectroheliograms at 8.6 mm, using the AFCRL 29-ft Millimeter Wave Antenna, are described. The quiet sun at 8.6 mm appeared to have a brightness temperature of 8400 plus or minus 600 K blackbody and a 'radio diameter' 3 percent greater than the optical disk. The presence of active regions during this period was characterized by localized enhanced regions exhibiting temperature increases from 1 to 28 percent of the quiet sun level. The enhancement and the positions of these regions have been compared with 9.1-cm radio data and various other optical data. The locations of the 8.6-mm enhanced regions are contained within calcium plages. All proton events observed originated only in highly enhanced (Class III) regions. Further observations are in progress to increase the sample size of observed proton events to further refine the possibility of prediction of these events. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sun is nowadays observed using di?erent techniques that provide an almost instantaneous 3-D map of its structure. Of particular interest is the studyofthevariabilityinthesolaroutputproducedbythedissipationofm- netic energy on di?erent spatial and temporal scales – the so-called magnetic activity. The 11-year cycle is the main feature describing this phenomenon. Apart from its intrinsic scienti?c interest, this topic is worth studying because of the interaction of such processes with the terrestrial environment. A ?eet of space and ground-based observatories are currently monitoring the behaviour of our star on a daily basis. However, solar activity varies not only on this decadal time-scale, as has been attested mainly through two methods: (a) records of the number of sunspots observed on the solar surface from 1610, and (b) the records of 14 10 cosmogenic isotopes, such as Cand Be, measured in tree-rings and i- cores, respectively. The study of the long-term behaviour of solar activity may be comp- mented by the study of historical accounts describing phenomena directly or indirectly related to solar activity. Numerous scienti?c and non-scienti?c d- uments have reported these events and we can make use of them as a proxy of solar activity in past times.
