    Thermal bifurcation in the upper photosphere inferred from heterodyne spectroscopy of OH rotational lines (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Low-noise (S/N greater than 100), high spectral resolution observations of two pure rotation transitions of OH from the solar photosphere are used to make inferences concerning the thermal structure and inhomogeneity of the upper photosphere. It is found that the v = O R22(24.5)e line strengthens at the solar limb, in contradiction to the predictions of current one-dimensional photospheric models. The results for this line support a two-dimensional model in which horizontal thermal fluctuations in the upper photosphere are of the order plus or minus 800 K. This thermal bifurcation may be maintained by the presence of magnetic flux tubes and may be related to the solar limb extensions observed in the 30-200-micron region.

    A reexamination of rotational and tangential discontinuities in the solar wind (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: An analysis is made of interplanetary tangential and rotational solar wind discontinuities (TD and RD) and comparisons are made between the features of RDs and TDs. An ISEE 3 field and positive ion data set from 1978 includes high time resolution magnetometer data and is used for the comparisons, as are data from a positive ion analyzer. The field magnitude of RDs remains constant as the field rotates, while that of a TD passes through a local minimum. First and second adiabatic invariants for protons and He abundances are usually also conserved for RDs but not for TDs. The velocity change for an RD across a discontinuity is smaller than that predicted by MHD theory. Finally, plasma conditions at a discontinuity more closely resemble RDs than TDs.

    LEC System Development (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: The Lajet Energy Company (LEC) 460 is described. A parabolic dish which incorporates a microprocessor to automatically point it toward the Sun from sunrise to sunset is used. The dish is composed of a set of mirrors (made of reflective polymeric film) which focus and concentrate the Sun's energy on a receiver, producing intense but controlled amounts of heat. The LEC 460 employs a design concept that permits the use of common and low cost materials. All major structural components are fabricated from low carbon, low alloy steel using methods adaptable to mass production. The mirrors are supported on a steel tubing frame. This frame is attached near its center of gravity to a cantilevered support structure. The mirrors and frame are counterbalanced by the weight of the receiver, thus reducing the energy needed to move the collector (parasitic load) and allowing movement on two axes. Each LEC 460 solar concentrator contains a reflective array consisting of twenty four 60 inch diameter mirrors.

    Turbulence characteristics of an axisymmetric reacting flow (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Turbulent sudden expansion flows are of significant theoretical and practical importance. Such flows have been the subject of extensive analytical and experimental study for decades, but many issues are still unresolved. Detailed information on reacting sudden expansion flows is very limited, since suitable measurement techniques have only been available in recent years. The present study of reacting flow in an axisymmetric sudden expansion was initiated under NASA support in December 1983. It is an extension of a reacting flow program which has been carried out with Air Force support under Contract F33615-81-K-2003. Since the present effort has just begun, results are not yet available. Therefore a brief overview of results from the Air Force program will be presented to indicate the basis for the work to be carried out.

    On the identification of normal modes of oscillation from observations of the solar periphery (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The decomposition of solar oscillations into their constituent normal modes requires a knowledge of both the spatial and temporal variation of the perturbation to the Sun's surface. The task is especially difficult when only limited spatial information is available. Observations of the limb darkening function, for example, are probably sensitive to too large a number of modes to permit most of the modes to be identified in a power spectrum of measurements at only a few points on the limb, unless the results are combined with other data. A procedure was considered by which the contributions from quite small groups of modes to spatially well resolved data obtained at any instant can be extracted from the remaining modes. Combining these results with frequency information then permits the modes to be identified, at least if their frequencies are low enough to ensure that modes of high degree do not contribute substantially to the signal.

    Polar rain: Solar coronal electrons in the Earth's magnetosphere (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Low energy electron measurements collected by ISEE 1 reveal the frequent presence of field-aligned fluxes of few hundred eV electrons in he geomagnetic tail lobes. In the northern tail lobe these electrons are most prominent when the interplanetary magnetic field is directed away from the Sun. This characteristic helps identify the electrons as polar rain electrons. By mapping the tail lobe velocity distribution function into the solar wind, previous suggestions that the polar rain is indeed of solar wind origin and is due to the access of electrons to the magnetotail lobe were confirmed. It was demonstrated that the moe energetic component of the polar rain is composed of electrons from the solar wind strahl - a field-aligned component of the solar wind which is difficult to measure but which is thought to be caused by the collisionless transit of hundred eV electrons from the inner solar corona to 1 AU.

    Type II bursts, shock waves, and coronal transients - The event of 1980 June 29, 0233 UT (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The metric Type-II solar burst event of June 29, 1980, is characterized on the basis of spatially resolved radioheliograph observations obtained at Culgoora, Australia, and visible-light observations obtained with the coronograph/polarimeter of the SMM satellite. The data are presented in images, diagrams, and graphs and discussed in detail. The Type-II emission is found to arise in the dense moving material behind the transient loops, which have sky-plane width 0.5 solar radius and line-of-sight depth 0.1-0.4 solar radius. A faint arc observed moving ahead of the transient loops at about 900 km/sec and not associated with the Type-II burst is attributed to a shock front, and the compression ratio and Alfven Mach number of the enhanced-density region are estimated as n2/n1 = 1.3-3 and M(A) = 1.2-3. The ambient material at 3 solar radii is determined to have Alfven speed 250-625 km/sec and magnetic-field strength 50-120 mG. The total mass of the event is calculated as 700 Tg; the total magnetic energy of the loops is (1.5-15) x 10 to the 29th ergs.

    Thermal bifurcation in the upper solar photosphere inferred from heterodyne spectroscopy of OH rotational lines (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Low noise high spectral resolution observations of two pure rotation transitions of OH from the solar photosphere were obtained. The observations were obtained using the technique of optically null-balanced infrared heterodyne spectroscopy, and consist of center-to-limb line profiles of a v=1 and a v=0 transition near 12 microns. These lines should be formed in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), and are diagnostics of the thermal structure of the upper photosphere. The v=0 R22 (24.5)e line strengthens at the solar limb, in contradiction to the predictions of current one dimensional photospheric models. Data for this line support a two dimensional model in which horizontal thermal fluctuations of order + or - 800K occur in the region Tau (sub 5000) approximately .001 to .01. This thermal bifurcation may be maintained by the presence of magnetic flux tubes, and may be related to the solar limb extensions observed in the 30 to 200 micron region.

    Associations between coronal mass ejections and solar energetic proton events (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A comparison between proton events and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) based on nearly three years of observations around the recent maximum of solar activity is presented. Peak proton fluxes are found to correlate with both the speeds and the angular sizes of the associated CMEs. It is shown that CME speeds do not significantly correlate with CME angular sizes, so that peak proton fluxes are correlated with two independent CME parameters. With larger angular sizes, CMEs are more likely to be loops and fans rather than jets and spikes and are more likely to intersect the ecliptic.

    Associations between coronal mass ejections and metric type II bursts (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A statistical comparison of metric type II bursts and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) during 1979-1982 was carried out. Type II bursts without CMEs were associated with short-lived (0.5 hr) soft X-ray events, but not with interplanetary shocks at the Helios 1 spacecraft. Type II bursts with CMEs were associated with longer-lived X-ray events (3 hr on the average) and interplanetary shocks, and the CMEs had speeds greater than 400 km/s. CMEs without metric type II bursts were divided equally into groups faster and slower than 455 km/s. The faster CMEs were associated with interplanetary shocks, some of which originated on the visible disk where metric type II bursts should have been observed if they had occurred. These results suggest that (1) shocks without CMEs have a relatively impulsive origin and may die out sooner than many shocks with CMEs which are piston driven, and (2) either some fast CMEs do not reach shock-producing super-Alfvenic speeds until they leave the lower corona where the metric emission originates, or these CMEs form shocks that are unable to excite type II emission in the lower corona.
