Abstract
We investigate the photosphere parameters of a 2N/M2 solar flare that occurred in the NOAA 9077 active area on 18 July, 2000 before its maximum. We use Echelle Zeeman spectrograms obtained in orthogonal circular polarizations by means of a solar spectrograph of the astronomical observatory of Kiev National University, Ukraine (Kurochka, E.V., et. al, 1980). The photosphere is simulated by SIR software (Ruiz Cobo, B. and del Toro Inesta, J.C., 1992). The model of the flare’s photosphere is characterized by a two-component structure, including a magnetic flux tube and its nonmagnetic environment. For both components, we obtain the height distribution of the following parameters: temperature, magnetic field density and line-of-sight velocity.
The temperature in the magnetic flux tube increases to approximately 5100 K in the upper photosphere layer of 250–400 km. The magnetic field intensity decreases sharply from 2600 G (lower photosphere) to 100 G (middle photosphere) with a gradient of about 12 G/km. The model of the nonmagnetic environment differs slightly from the model of undisturbed photosphere.
