Forced field extrapolation of the magnetic structure of the Halpha fibrils in solar chromosphere

Published 2 Apr 2016 in astro-ph.SR | (1604.00455v2)

Abstract: We present a careful assess of the forced field extrapolation using Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (SDO/HMI) magnetogram. The convergence property is checked by several metrics. The extrapolated field lines below 3600km appear to be aligned with most Halpha fibrils observed by New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST). In the region where magnetic energy far larger than potential energy, field lines computed by forced field extrapolation still consistent with the patterns of Halpha fibrils while non-linear force free field (NLFFF) results show large misalignment. The horizontal average of lorentz force ratio shows the forced region where force-free assumption is failed can reach the height of $1400-1800km$. The non-force-free state of the chromosphere is also confirmed by recent radiation magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation.
