Observational Evidence for Gentle Chromospheric Evaporation During the Impulsive Phase of a Solar Flare
arXiv:astro-ph/0603652 · doi:10.1086/504592
Abstract
Observational evidence for gentle chromospheric evaporation during the impulsive phase of a C9.1 solar flare is presented using data from the Reuven Ramaty High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager and the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. Until now, evidence for gentle evaporation has often been reported during the decay phase of solar flares, where thermal conduction is thought to be the driving mechanism. Here we show that the chromospheric response to a low flux of nonthermal electrons (>=5x10^9 ergs cm^-2 s^-1) results in plasma upflows of 13+/-16, 16+/-18, and 110+/-58 km s^-1 in the cool He I and O V emission lines and the 8 MK Fe XIX line. These findings, in conjunction with other recently reported work, now confirm that the dynamic response of the solar atmosphere is sensitively dependent on the flux of incident electrons.
