Multipath Quasiperiodic Fast-mode Propagating Magnetoacoustic Waves to Diagnose the Coronal Magnetic Field and Flaring Core
多路径准周期快模传播磁声波诊断日冕磁场与耀斑核心
Quasiperiodic fast-mode magnetoacoustic waves are often detected during solar flare events, although they are not observed in every flare, due to observational signal-to-noise limits and differences in flare magnetic topology and energy release strength. These structures propagate along magnetic configurations and supply effective diagnostics for coronal magnetic environments and flaring regions. Periodic signatures seen in quasiperiodic fast-mode propagating (QFP) wave trains carry physical information about excitation processes and propagation conditions. These signatures support quantitative studies of flare cores and magnetic channel properties. This work focuses on a well-documented event involving two oppositely oriented QFP waves simultaneously excited by a GOES-class M6.0 solar flare that occurred in active region NOAA 11261 on 2011 August 3. These QFP waves can be categorized into broad and narrow wave trains, with the narrow one propagating along funnel-like loops and the broad one moving through the low corona. Observational results suggest that both broad-wave and narrow-wave QFP phenomena can be simultaneously triggered by a single flare eruption. This study also indicates that such multipath QFP wave events can be utilized to diagnose the magnetic field and the flare's core, and demonstrates the capability of multipath QFP waves for robust coronal magnetic field and flare core diagnostics.

以往对 QFP 波的研究多集中在单一路径波列及其与耀斑激发过程的关系,而对同一耀斑同时产生多路径波列的观测较少。本文报道的 M6.0 耀斑同时激发宽、窄两束反向传播的 QFP 波,表明多路径激发可以同时发生,并携带不同尺度的日冕磁结构信息。这一结果为将多路径 QFP 波用于日冕磁场和耀斑核心诊断提供了新途径。未来结合高分辨率成像、光谱和多角度观测,这类波列有望从传播路径追踪走向三维磁拓扑重建,更系统地约束耀斑能量释放区的演化。
