The EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun from minimum to maximum Giulio Del Zanna Department of Space and Climate Physics University College London Vincenzo Andretta INAF – OAC

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun Open questions What are the characteristics of the EUV irradiance? What are its long-term variations? Is the ‘quiet’ Sun constant in time? What is the relation between irradiance, magnetic activity and the various solar regions ? Can we use indices of activity to model the EUV irradiance ? Does the EUV irradiance affect the global climate ? SOHO ( ) gives us the first opportunity to study EUV irradiances

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun Global warming Last 10 years probably the warmest in the last years !

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun Global warming (Eddy 1976) "Winter Scene with Frozen Canal" by Aert van der Neer During the Little Ice Age, London’s Thames River froze in winter in the 17th Century, a very rare event. Solar activity (e.g. Sunspot number) correlates with many things (including temperature variations). But to what extent ?

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun Solar vs. anthropogenic and other (e.g. Volcanoes) effects (Lean 1997)

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun The total irradiance is one of the main drivers for global climate. Variability exists but is small (0.2%) and insufficient to explain variations on global weather. Fröhlich 2005, updated Fall 2004 AGU poster

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun The Solar spectrum (Floyd 2005) (Woods 2005) UV EUV

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun The EUV and UV UV radiation controls the amount of stratospheric ozone. UV variations could be a significant driver of changes in the terrestrial climate (e.g. Haigh 1996). The EUV radiation creates the ionosphere and might also have an indirect effect. (Lean 1997)

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun EUV `Hole’ (Floyd 1997) Very few EUV observations (below red line) until TIMED in 2002 The EUV irradiance has been modelled by using proxies (until 2002). The X-ray irradiance is still modelled.

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun TIMED: UV irradiance since 2002 (Woods et al 2005) Grey areas show the variability during Variability increases toward the EUV

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun Variability in the X-rays Well known to be large Yohkoh SXT 1991 – 1995 ~100x change in x-ray brightness (Acton et al 1999). But SXT was a broad-band instrument.

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun Variability in the EUV from SOHO Solar EUV Monitor (SEM) … but SOHO/SEM produces broad-band count rates. We need EUV spectral irradiance to calibrate SOHO/SEM. How much is the contribution from the active regions?

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun The contribution from active regions seems dominant. There are no obvious long-term variations of the ‘quiet Sun’ at chromospheric levels Livingston, B. 2005, unpublished

UCL DEPT. OF SPACE & CLIMATE PHYSICS SOLAR & STELLAR PHYSICS GROUP EUV spectral irradiance of the Sun Conclusions The SOHO/ GIS, NIS have produced a valuable dataset ( ) that allows, with the support of SOHO/EIT and atomic data (CHIANTI) to reconstruct the EUV spectral irradiance from the last solar minimum. Preliminary irradiances are in agreement with old measurements (work is still in progress on the instrument’s calibration). The irradiances show a clear increase with the solar cycle, more pronounced for lines formed at T > 1MK and after During maximum, the corona becomes hotter, and the characteristics of the `quiet Sun’ change.
