U.S.-Japan Cooperative Science: Solar Explosive Phenomena with YOHKOH/SOHO/TRACE/Solar-B

该奖项支持新罕布什尔大学的Terry Forbes教授和日本东京国家天文台的Saku Tsuneta教授之间为期三年的合作研究项目。研究人员将利用YOHKOH/SOHO/Trace/ solar -8对太阳爆炸现象进行研究。他们将研究几个基本的科学问题，以解决表面磁场结构与色球层和日冕中对应磁场结构之间的动态关系。调查将包括理论和经验建模，以及对同期地面和空间太阳观测数据的协调分析。研究人员将结合YOHKOH、SOHO和TRACE在不同温度波段的观测结果，构建太阳活动现象的综合视图。这项研究的意义在于，参与不同任务的实际研究人员的专业知识可以协调一致，以达成对太阳的一致观测观点。该项目汇集了两个具有互补专业知识和研究能力的实验室的努力。研究结果将提供更完整的日冕温度结构。这一点很重要，因为磁场结构和重联位置都是从温度曲线中获得的。这些数据可以为指导电晕加热机理的理论研究提供重要信息。该项目通过博士后的参与促进了国际人力资源的发展。通过思想和技术的交流，该项目将扩大我们的基础知识基础，促进国际了解与合作

9910067ForbesThis award supports a three year collaborative research project between Professor Terry Forbes of the University of New Hampshire in Durham and Professor Saku Tsuneta of the National Astronomical Observatory in Tokyo, Japan. The researchers will be undertaking a study of the solar explosive phenomena with YOHKOH/SOHO/Trace/Solar-8. They will investigate several basic science issues that address the dynamic relationship between surface magnetic field structures and their counterparts in the chromosphere and corona. The investigations will include both theoretical and empirical modeling, and coordinated analysis of contemporaneous ground-and space-based observation data of the sun. The researchers will combine observations in different temperature bands made by YOHKOH, SOHO and TRACE to construct a comprehensive view of solar active phenomena. The significance of this research is that the expertise of the actual investigators involved in different missions can be coordinated for a consensus observational view of the sun.The project brings together the efforts of two laboratories that have complementary expertise and research capabilities. Results of the research should provide a more complete temperature structure of the solar corona. This is important because the magnetic field structure and the reconnection site are all obtained from the temperature profiles. These data can provide vital information in guiding theoretical studies of corona heating mechanisms. The project advances international human resources through the participation of postdocs. Through the exchange of ideas and technology, this project will broaden our base of basic knowledge and promote international understanding and cooperation
