Helioseismology and diagnostics of internal magnetic layersFoullon, Claire-Uriel Armelle Marie Aline January 2002 (has links)
Solar magnetic fields, as well as temperature changes, introduce pressure deviations that play a significant role in modulating the resonant frequencies of p-mode oscillations. Those pressure deviations occurring in the atmosphere or sub-surface of the Sun can explain the frequency shifts observed on the timescale of the solar activity cycle. A separate study of the contribution of internal magnetic layers can clarify the relative importance of surface effects. Results from helioseismology provide realistic constraints for choosing parameters suitable to represent the magnetic layers buried in the solar interior and available for modelling, i.e. at the base of the convection zone and in the sunspots' anchoring zone. Diagnostics of the internal magnetic layers are obtained through a schematic model in which the Sun is plane-stratified. The influence of a buried magnetic field on p-modes is explored, and the nature of various waves and instabilities that can arise on such a buried magnetic field is assessed. By treating the effects of internal magnetic layers, this thesis contributes to the building of a bridge between theories and observations. On the one hand, the theoretical analysis is explored carefully in the course of its formulation, which generates new hypotheses that were not obvious so far. On the other hand, observations help to understand which explanations of the solar cycle frequency shifts may apply.

The magnetic field of AB DoradûsPointer, Graham Richard January 2001 (has links)
Observations of AB Doradus, a nearby, rapidly-rotating K0 dwarf are analysed, and the surface magnetic field is shown to be approximated by a potential field. Evolving the surface magnetic field according to diffusion and the observed differential rotation still yields good correlation between the calculated and observed radial field after 30 days, contradictory to the results of Barnes et al. (1998), leading to the conclusion that there is an additional cause for the evolution of the magnetic field. The chromospheric magnetic field is modelled as a potential field with a source surface. Using the stability criteria g.B = 0 and B.V(g.B) < 0, places where prominences can be stable are investigated. For agreement with the results of Donati et al. (2000)- that prominences form preferentially near the equatorial plane and at and beyond corotation- it is necessary to add a quasidipolar field of maximum strength ~20G.

Numerical simulations of footpoint driven coronal heatingO'Hara, Jennifer January 2016 (has links)
Magnetic field permeates the solar atmosphere and plays a crucial role in the dynamics, energetics and structures observed. In particular, magnetic flux tubes provide the structure for coronal loops that extend from the solar surface into the corona. In this thesis, we present 3D numerical simulations examining the heating produced by reconnection between flux tubes driven by rotational footpoint motions. The basic model consists of two, initially aligned, flux tubes that are forced to interact by rotational driving velocities on the flux concentrations on the boundaries. A single, twisted current layer is created in the centre of the domain and strong, localised heating is produced. We extend this model by altering the number, distribution and strength of the sources, while maintaining the same total magnetic flux on the boundaries. The dynamical evolution and the resultant magnitude, distribution and timing of the heating events are examined for the different flux distributions. In all cases, the magnetic field is stressed by the boundary motions and a current grows within the domain. A comparison of cases with two and four sources shows that there are more locations of current concentrations, but with reduced maximum current density values, for the four source case. This produces weaker reconnection and less efficient heating. In addition, for the case with two sources, we also consider the effect of splitting up one of the sources into many smaller flux fragments. The evolution and heating are shown to be very similar to the two source case. The impact of increasing the strength of the background field between the flux tubes is also examined and we find that it delays and increases the strength of the heating, although by how much depends on the distribution of the flux sources.

Inclined Pulsar Magnetospheres in General Relativity: Polar Caps for the Dipole, Quadrudipole, and BeyondGralla, Samuel E., Lupsasca, Alexandru, Philippov, Alexander 20 December 2017 (has links)
In the canonical model of a pulsar, rotational energy is transmitted through the surrounding plasma via two electrical circuits, each connecting to the star over a small region known as a "polar cap." For a dipole-magnetized star, the polar caps coincide with the magnetic poles (hence the name), but in general, they can occur at any place and take any shape. In light of their crucial importance to most models of pulsar emission (from radio to X-ray to wind), we develop a general technique for determining polar cap properties. We consider a perfectly conducting star surrounded by a force-free magnetosphere and include the effects of general relativity. Using a combined numerical-analytical technique that leverages the rotation rate as a small parameter, we derive a general analytic formula for the polar cap shape and charge-current distribution as a function of the stellar mass, radius, rotation rate, moment of inertia, and magnetic field. We present results for dipole and quadrudipole fields (superposed dipole and quadrupole) inclined relative to the axis of rotation. The inclined dipole polar cap results are the first to include general relativity, and they confirm its essential role in the pulsar problem. The quadrudipole pulsar illustrates the phenomenon of thin annular polar caps. More generally, our method lays a foundation for detailed modeling of pulsar emission with realistic magnetic fields.

Marine magnetic survey in the Mackenzie Bay/Beaufort Sea area arctic CanadaGoh, Rocque January 1972 (has links)
This thesis presents an investigation of the variations in the magnetic field obtained in the Mackenzie Bay/Beaufort Sea area of the Canadian Arctic.
It was found that the variations obtained at sea were strikingly correlated with those recorded at Point Atkinson, a fixed station on land, 150 miles from the survey area. In addition, it was found that the higher frequencies present in the marine records were severely attenuated with respect to the corresponding frequencies in the Point Atkinson recordings. It was concluded that the Mackenzie Bay/Beaufort Sea area is geomagnetically anomalous and that this situation is probably caused by higher electrical conductivity material underlying, the Mackenzie Bay/Beaufort Sea area, abutting lower conductivity material of the North American craton underlying Point Atkinson. This conclusion has important implications relating to the tectonic history of the Canadian Arctic. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate
