Observations with the Imaging Vector Magnetograph

9303873在1993年至1995年太阳活动下降期间，国际和平研究所请求资金在Mees太阳天文台运行新的成像矢量磁强计，以支持MAX‘91运动和个别研究项目。在此期间，将开展几个社区范围的运动，包括VLA观测期、磁强计运动、气球飞行和火箭发射，国际和平协会将积极参与这些运动。此外，PI还将进行一项独立的研究计划，其目标将包括：1.从光球和色球矢量磁图中确定产生耀斑的活动区的日冕磁场是否明显不仅是无势的，而且是非力的，并了解这种偏离的来源；2.了解光球磁场和电流系统与耀斑中的整体能量、非热电子加速和降水的形态关系；3.确定耀斑期间H极化的时间依赖关系，并了解其与理解不当的亚MeV范围内的高能质子的关系；4.确定在光球中观察到的垂直电流是从下方产生的，还是在出现后由光球运动产生的。***

9303873 Canfield The PI requests funds to operate the new Imaging Vector Magnetograph at Mees Solar Observatory during the 1993 - 1995 period of declining solar activity, in support of both Max '91 campaigns and individual research projects. Several community-wide campaigns will take place during this period, associated with VLA observing periods, magnetograph campaigns, balloon flights, and rocket launches, and the PI will actively participate in these campaigns. As well, the PI will conduct an independent research program whose goals will include: 1. to determine from photospheric and chromospheric vector magnetograms whether coronal magnetic fields in flare-productive active regions are demonstrably not only non-potential, but also non-force-free, and to understand the origin of such departures; 2. to understand the morphological relationship of photospheric magnetic fields and current systems to bulk energization and nonthermal electron acceleration and precipitation in flares; 3. to determine the temporal dependence of H polarization during flares, and to understand its relationship to energetic protons in the ill-understood sub-MeV range; 4. to determine whether vertical currents observed in the photospheric emerge from below, or are generated after emergence by photospheric motions. ***
