Transition Region Explosive Events in He II 304 Å : Observation and Analysis Thomas Rust, Charles Kankelborg Montana State University Physics

Abstract We present examples of transition region explosive events observed in the He II 304 Å ?spectral line with the Multi Order Solar EUV Spectrograph (MOSES). With small (<5000 km) spatial scale and large non-thermal ( km/s) velocities these events satisfy the observational signatures of transition region explosive events. Derived line profiles show distinct blue and red velocity components with very little broadening of either component. We observe little to no emission from low velocity plasma, making the plasmoid instability reconnection model unlikely as the plasma acceleration mechanism for these events. Rather, the single speed, bi-directional jet characteristics suggested by these data are consistent with acceleration via Petschek reconnection. Observations were made during the first sounding rocket flight of MOSES in MOSES forms images in 3 orders of a concave diffraction grating. Multilayer coatings largely restrict the passband to the He II Å ?and Si XI Å ?spectral lines. The angular field of view is about 8.5'x17', or about 20% of the solar disk. These images constitute projections of the volume I(x,y,λ), the intensity as a function of sky plane position and wavelength. Spectral line profiles are recovered via tomographic inversion of these projections. Inversion is carried out using a multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique.

MOSES Spectrograph

Goal of MOSES spectrograph is to get spectral information over a wide FOV in a single snapshot. Lets start simple: compact objects.

MOSES INSTRUMENT

For a compact object, the intensity profile in the dispersion direction in the m=-1 image is the spectrum S(L) of the object, convolved with the m=-1 PSF profile. The intensity profile in the m=+1 image is the mirror image S(-L) Compact objects act as their own slit. If a shift is strong enough, or broadening is wide enough, we should be able to get a good estimate of the spectrum of compact objects despite the PSFS.

Explosive events should meet the qualifications for compactness and strong shifts and/or broadening. Often reported in slit spectra (e.g., Bruekner and Bartoe 1983, Dere et. al. 1989, Innes et. al. 1997) Strong but complicated event observed in MOSES data, reported by Fox et. al. Can we find more?

DATA

Need descriptive data on MOSES instrument: – FOV – Arcsec/pixel – Dispersion – Cadence – Multilayer, and spectral content. Just HeII 304 as far as I’m concerned, but point to Jake Parkers poster. – Put this stuff on the EIT inset slide?

Data Processing Dark subtract Flatfield Coregistration PSF Deconvolution(Later?) Inversion (Later?)

Need to add another row to this plot, showing profiles through The object.

Need to set the y axis on these plots with the true time, or at least elapsed time In seconds.

I might want to make These plots on a black background. Also, use linestyles instead of these awful colors to defferentiate the Two orders

Simple estimate of the doppler shifts involved come from centroiding the components seen in the intensity data  Plot of intensity profiles. This event can be seen to meet the observational criteria of an explosive event. Any centroid method will require some sort of background model.

INVERSIONS I(x,y) = int{O(x+mL,y,L),dL} For d function object, i.e., O = d(x,y)*f(L), I(x,y) = f(x/m), m ne 0 total(f), m = 0

Inversions

Need to talk about high pass filtering. Need simulations of plaid, i.e., inversions with and without backgrouds.

Need multiple examples of EE’s Here… And here.

Reconnection Cartoons PetschekPlasmoid Instability Innes 1997 also has a nice petschek cartoon.

Discussion I have numerous EE’s in the data. I think I can tell the difference between wide broadenings and strong shifts… and this seems like strong shifts. The observed lack of low velocity plasma leads me to picture bi directional jets as predicted by fast sweet parker, e.g., petschek, not plasmoid. Why do I not see the broad type events of HRTS and IRIS? Are these two jet events different than broad events, or are they different parts of the elephant?

SECTIONS I NEED What should the reconnection models look like to MOSES? Can I distinguish the models, and what is the success rate for detection for various signal to noise of event? Reference innes and guo for plasmoid spectra? Refernece for petschek assumed spectra?

TO DO All plots need a little polish.
