| 内容記述 | The dynamic behavior of transients in a stratified atmosphere in the presence of a magnetic field is investigated with the two-dimensional plane formulation, i.e., the formulation in which variations of the flow and magnetic field are confined within a plane. It is pointed out that, in the plane formulation, the noncompressible transverse waves (often called the Alfven waves) are excluded. The compressible responses of the atmosphere are then examined with a temperature perturbation (simulating a sudden local release of energy by a flare) as functions of the configuration of magnetic field and field strength. It is shown that (1) in the open (mostly radial) magnetic field, the propagation of 'bubble-like' density enhancements, the coronal transients, result; while (2) in the closed (mostly azimuthal) field, the density enhancement forms a pair of 'horns' near the foot points of field lines similar to that often observed by coronagraphs after flares. Discussions in interpreting the results in terms of the anisotropic propagation of the fast and slow waves (or shocks) are presented together with consideration of possible consequences with the inclusion of the transverse waves. |
