HMI observations of two types of ephemeral regions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 January 2014
Abstract
Using the magnetograms observed with the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager, we statistically study the ephemeral regions (ERs) of the Sun. we notice that the areas with locations around S15° and N25° have larger ER number density, implying that the generation of ERs may be affected by the large-scale background fields from dispersed active regions. According to their evolution, the ERs can be classified into two types, i.e., normal ERs (2798 ones) and self-canceled ERs (190 ones). Submergence of initial magnetic flux loops connecting the opposite dipolar polarities may lead to the self-cancellation.
