Simulation of stereoscopic EUVI image pairs Markus J. Aschwanden David Alexander Nariaki Nitta Thomas Metcalf Richard Nightingale James Lemen (LMSAL) 2nd SECCHI/STEREO Meeting, Abingdon, UK, 2001 July 12-13

The Goal Create a set of synthetic EUVI image pairs that can be used to test image reconstruction algorithms. Will make use of two techniques: –Aschwanden method: fit actual TRACE, EIT, and SXT images –Alexander method: start with a Sunspot model to define field lines

Aschwanden algorithm for Stereo Image Pair Creation 1. Select a structure-rich multi-wavelength image from TRACE, EIT, and/or Yohkoh database (with filament, flare, CME, fluxropes, etc.) 2. Trace linear features (loops, filaments, fluxropes) in 2D: s(x,y) 3. Inflate from 2D to 3D with prescription z(x,y) s(x,y) -> s(x,y,z) 4. Physically model structures: T(s), n(s), p(s), EM(s) 6. Line-of-sight integration EM(x,y)=  EM(x,y,z)dz and convolve with instrumental response function 5. Geometrically rotate to different stereo angles EM(x,y,z) -> EM(x,y,z)

Step 1: Select structure-rich image

Step 2: Tracing linear features High-pass filtering Feature tracing, reading coordinates, spline interpolation

Step 3: 3D Inflation: z=0 -> z(x,y) - model (e.g. semi-circular loops) - magnetic field extrapolation - curvature minimization in 3D s(x,y) s(x,y,z)

Step 4: Use physical hydrostatic models of temperature T(s), density n(s), and pressure p(s), to fill geometric structures with plasma

Step 5: Rotation to different stereo angles

Step 6: Integrate along line-of-sight and convolve with instrumental response function

STEREO - ASTEREO - B

Alexander algorithm for Stereo Image Pair Creation Uses magnetoconvection sunspot model of Hurlburt to define boundary conditions for field and heating - fully 3D model calculated in wedge. Field extrapolation into corona assumes potential field at surface. Heating rate is determined from Poynting flux entering corona. Poynting flux is a result of interaction of surface flow dynamics with magnetic field: P=(vxB)xB. Uniform and footpoint heating s h =10 Mm assumed in simulations. Fieldlines chosen reflect localized regions for which the Poynting flux is greater than 90% of maximum value: hence grouping into “fluxtubes”. 3D volume created, therefore can simulate any viewing angle.

Neal Hurlburt’s Magnetoconvection model for Sunspot

Footpoint Heating Uniform Heating 3D distribution of coronal field viewpoint Simulations of TRACE 171 emission Base heating rate same 25x higher in footpoint heating case (not optimized) Projection yields “fluxtubes” from “field lines” Only highly energized loops included: no background structures

Plans for the Future : - The LMSAL group is planning to produce a set of EUVI stereo pair images : - containing different phenomena (flare, CMEs, filaments) - in different wavelengths (171, 195, 284, 304 A) - from different stereo angles (0, 5, 10, 30, 60, 90 deg) - based on self-consistent hydrostatic models - The EUVI stereo pair images will be distributed to other groups or individuals for general stereoscopic studies, simulations, visualizations, 3D rendering, etc. - Plan to distribute the first set of images at the time of the Dec 2001 AGU meeting
