Bibcode: 2017AstL...43..768F Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: Connection between the appearance of γ-ray sources and H α line impact linear polarization in the July 23, 2002 flare Authors: Firstova, N. M. Bibcode: 2015AstL...41..593F Altcode: During our spectropolarimetric observations of the 2B/4.8X flare on July 23, 2002, with the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (LSVT), we detected impact linear polarization in the southern ribbon. The maximum polarization exceeded 10%. On the whole, the polarization was observed only for ~6 min out of almost 2 h of observations of this flare. At this time, the H α line profiles had a deep central self-reversal. We have compared the LSVT observations with the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) data, where the locations of γ-ray emission were obtained for the first time. A careful comparison has revealed that the effects in the H α line were observed in a region <10″ located between two X-ray sources in the southern ribbon. According to the RHESSI data, a γ-ray source attributable to a beam of high-energy (~1 MeV) electrons was observed at the same place. The events in the corona and the upper chromosphere also coincide in time with the observed effects in the H α line. The two X-ray sources are assumed to represent a common footpoint of the southern foot of the loop bifurcated due to the precipitation of high-energy electrons. It is suggested that the penetration of these electrons into the dense layers of the chromosphere could lead to impact polarization and a decrease of the H α line intensity in the southern ribbon of the flare, in contrast to the northern ribbon where a typical hard X-ray source with an energy ~20-120 keV was observed; there were no self-reversal at the H α line center and polarization. Title: Observation of H α line impact polarization in solar flares Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Polyakov, V. I.; Firstova, A. V. Bibcode: 2014AstL...40..449F Altcode: We present the results of studying the impact linear polarization of 32 solar flares of X-ray classes C, M, and X (two flares) observed with the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope. It has turned out that there is evidence for impact polarization only in 13 of them. The newly obtained data have confirmed that the linear Stokes parameters are predominantly 2-7%, while the spatial sizes of flaring points with nonzero Stokes parameters are small (1″-2″). Two features of the manifestation of impact polarization in flares revealed by these studies are of greatest interest: (1) at the two foot points of a single flare loop or an arcade of loops, both the H α intensity profiles and the Stokes profiles differ in behavior; (2) based on the H α line, we have found for the first time that the sign of the Stokes parameters changes not only across the flare ribbon but also with depth of the chromosphere. Title: Hα Line Impact Linear Polarization Observed in the 23 July 2002 Flare with the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (LSVT) Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Polyakov, V. I.; Firstova, A. V. Bibcode: 2012SoPh..279..453F Altcode: We present the results of studying the proton flare 2B/X4.8 on 23 July 2002, observed with the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (LSVT) at the Baikal Astrophysical Observatory in spectropolarimetric mode with high spatial and spectral resolution. We have found some evidence for Hα line impact linear polarization, predominantly during the initial moments of the flare. For the Hα line 606 cuts were made along the dispersion in 53 spectrograms, and a polarization signal was found more or less confidently in 60 cuts (13 spectrograms). Polarization was mainly observed in one of the kernels of the flare. A particular feature of this kernel was that the Hα line was observed to show a reversal in the central part of this kernel, which created a dip in the kernel center in the photometric cut. The size of these dips and the size of the sites with the linear polarization coincide and are equal to 3 - 6 arcsec. The maximum polarization degree in this kernel reached 15 %. The direction of the polarization in the kernel is radial, except for the first two frames, where the direction of the polarization was both radial and tangential. Furthermore, we found an analogy between the effects observed at the chromospheric level in this kernel (polarization and depression in Hα line) and the temporal variation of the HXR sources. Title: Observing solar phenomenas with the large solar vacuum telescope Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Polyakov, V. I. Bibcode: 2011Ge&Ae..51..888F Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: Studying instrumental linear polarization at the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (LSVT) Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Polyakov, V. I.; Skomorovsky, V. I.; Grigoriev, V. M. Bibcode: 2009Ge&Ae..49..927F Altcode: Impact linear polarization in solar flares is studied with the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (LSVT) using the spectral polarimetric method. This method makes it possible to minimize the effect of instrumental polarization with an error of up to 10-2 owing to the normalization of the spectral line intensity to the continuum spectrum intensity with negligible linear polarization. As a result, the Hα line intensity in two orthogonally polarized spectral stripes coincides in the absence of solar polarization. However, in the presence of linear polarization in a flare, the spectral polarimetric method does not rule out that the error can be present in determining the Stokes parameters Q and U because of their possible relative “leakage.” Linear instrumental polarization of LSVT has been performed using polaroid rotation before the major mirror. Twelve elements of a telescope matrix, characterizing linear polarization, have been determined. The usage of a matrix makes it possible to specify the observed Q and U values accurate to 10-3 of their magnitude. Title: Impact Linear Polarization on Impulsive Phase of Proton Flare Observations with High Spatial Resolution Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Polyakov, V. I.; Firstova, A. V. Bibcode: 2009ASPC..405..131F Altcode: We describe the results of the observations of the 23 July 2002 2B/X4.8 proton flare impulsive phase at the Irkutsk Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (LSVT) using the spectropolarimetric mode. 18 regions of the flare in the Hα line were observed with high spatial, spectroscopic and time resolution. In the six processed flare regions we obtained the evidence of impact linear polarization in the Hα line center. We noted that the general structure of the polarization profiles during the observation of a single flare region is kept in time. On the other hand, polarization across flare ribbons changes significantly. In all the flare regions we observed a deviation of the polarization peak position from the location of maximum intensity. Title: Impact Linear Polarization of the H α Line Observed in a Proton Flare with the Irkutsk Large Solar Vacuum Telescope Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Polyakov, V. I.; Firstova, A. V. Bibcode: 2008SoPh..249...53F Altcode: 2008SoPh..tmp...60F The impulsive phase of the 23 July 2002 2B/X4.8 proton flare with a classical two-ribbon structure was observed with the Irkutsk Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (LSVT) in spectropolarimetric mode, with high spatial, spectral, and time resolution. On the basis of 49 spectrograms and 1200 spectral cuts across the flare ribbons, evidence for Hα line impact polarization has been obtained. A systematic change of the Stokes Q and U parameters has been detected across the ribbons for different flare regions measured with a scanning step of 0.85″. In the eastern side of the ribbons, the degree of polarization is 4 - 8%; its plane is oriented toward the solar disk center (radial direction). In the western side, the polarization degree runs up to 25%, and its plane is perpendicular to the disk center direction (tangential direction). A comparison of these results with hard X-ray data (RHESSI) allows us to conclude that high-energy electron beams reached the chromosphere during this flare. The observed changes of the direction of polarization and the vanishing polarization within the ribbons mean that, at the chromospheric level, the energy of electrons remaining in the beam is about 200 eV. A shift of the peak position of polarization relative to the intensity maximum in the ribbons may result from the inclination of the electron beam axis with respect to the solar surface. Title: Hα Line Polarization in the Major Flare of 2002 July 23. I. Observations and Data Analysis Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Xu, Z.; Fang, C. Bibcode: 2003ApJ...595L.131F Altcode: On 2002 July 23, a major 2B/X4.8-class flare was observed in Hα lines with the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope of the Baikal Astrophysical Observatory using the spectropolarimetric method. Linear polarization of 3%-10% has been detected in Hα lines of the flare, particularly in the Hα lines with a central reversal. They are mainly radial on the solar disk and appear at the impulsive phase of hard X-ray and γ-ray bursts. The polarization changes its direction in a spatially limited small region (~4"-5") and within a short period of time (~10 s). Moreover, the linear polarization is limited to only some relatively small regions of the flare. Title: Hα Line Polarization in the 2B/X4.8 Flare of 2002 July 23 Authors: Xu, Zhi; Firstova, N. M.; Chen, Qing-Rong; Fang, Cheng Bibcode: 2003ChJAA...3..266X Altcode: On 2002 July 23, a 2B/X4.8 flare was observed in the Hα line spectropolarimetrically by the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope of Baikal Astrophysical Observatory. Linear polarization of 3%-10% was detected in the Hα line, particularly where the line showed central reversal. The linear polarization is mainly radial on the solar disk and appears at the impulsive phase of the hard X-ray and γ-ray bursts. It is limited to some relatively small regions of the flare. The polarization in a limited small region (∼ 4''-5'') changed its direction within a short period of time (∼10 s) Title: Measurement and processing of linear polarization in solar flares - a comparison of two methods Authors: Kotrč, P.; Firstova, N. M.; Kashapova, L. K.; Kupryakov, Yu. A. Bibcode: 2002ESASP.506..947K Altcode: 2002svco.conf..947K; 2002ESPM...10..947K Linear polarization measurement in solar flares is discussed from the point of view of the processing technique. Usually, spectropolarimetric investigation of the linear polarization in solar flares is carried out for the line profiles. The results obtained by two methods (either processing of individual profiles or the whole spectral strips) are compared and applied to the observations obtained at the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (the Baikal Astrophysial obseratory) and at the Ondřejov Multichannel Flare Spectrograph. The results obtained by the second method are comparable by accuracy with the results obtained by the first one. Moreover, it allows to check the instrumental polarization and the polarization behaviour in the nearby objects. However, the profile operating method allows to investigate the polarization effects along the dispersion more carefully. Title: Observation of the linear polarization in the flare with a powerful surge Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Kashapova, L. K. Bibcode: 2002A&A...388L..17F Altcode: An investigation of the linear polarization in the flare with a powerful surge revealed an unusual behavior of the Stokes parameter profiles along the dispersion. We discuss the probability that photons propagating from the flare and passing through the surge generate a linearly polarized radiation of the surge. Title: The results of spectropolarimetric observations of solar flares followed by surge Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Kashapova, L. K. Bibcode: 2002ESASP.477..103F Altcode: 2002scsw.conf..103F An investigation of the linear polarization in the June 29, 1999 flare with a powerful surge (the maximum velocity was about 160 km/sec) revealed an unusual behavior of the Stokes parameter profiles along the dispersion. We discuss the probability that photons propagating from the flare and passing through the surge generate a linearly polarized radiation of the surge. Title: Investigation of He I 10 830 Å `Dark Points' at the Sayan Solar Observatory and the Baikal Astrophysical Observatory Authors: Skomorovsky, V. I.; Firstova, N. M.; Kashapova, L. K.; Kushtal, G. I.; Boulatov, A. V. Bibcode: 2001SoPh..199...37S Altcode: A new two-bandpass birefringent filter has been produced at ISTP, Irkutsk for the investigation of the fine structure of the chromosphere. One filter passband is centered on the He i 10 830 Å line, the second one is centered on Hα. The FWHM of the He i 10 830 Å passband is 0.46 Å and of the Hα passband is 0.3 Å. A large number of filtergrams were obtained with the filter at the Sayan observatory. At the same time, spectral observations with high spatial and spectral resolution were carried out by the large solar vacuum telescope at the Baikal Observatory. We selected 29 `dark point' spectra with sizes from 2'' to 13'', as well as `dark points' on the filtergrams. Comparison of spectrograms and filtergrams has shown a good agreement of their size and intensity in relation with the surrounding chromosphere as well as the absence of primary line-of-sight velocities in both observation types. From spectral observations, the depth of 10 830 Å is over 30% for some `dark points', and the FWHM is more than 1 Å. He i 10 830 Å line profiles in `dark points' are more deep and wide than in quiet regions. The optical depth of the chromosphere in `dark points' is estimated. Comparison with the unperturbed chromosphere showed that `dark points' in He i 10 830 Å are more optically thin than the nearby chromosphere. Title: The Today's Investigations on Large Solar Vacuum Telescope Authors: Skomorovsky, V. I.; Firstova, N. M.; Kashapova, L. K.; Firstova, A. V.; Kushtal, G. I. Bibcode: 2001AGM....18.P221S Altcode: The contribution presents the prospective observations obtained with the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (Baikal astrophysical observatory, Irkutsk) from 1997 after its re-equipment by CCD-camera. During the latest years we carried out basically the spectropolarimetric Hα observations of the emission objects of different sizes from the solar flares to the Ellerman bombs. The flares followed by a surges have aroused a special interest. The observations and preliminary results are shown. The Ellerman bombs or moustaches were devoted much attention. We obtained the extensive observational data( more than 200 objects) and the various mechanisms of their arising have been analyzed. Besides the investigation of the linear polarization in Hα line the spectral observations in IR region (HeI 10830 Å line) were carried out. Also we obtain the observation of the pores in the several Fe lines for the latest two years. This work was supported by Russian Foundation for Basic Research grants 00-02-16068-a and 01-02-06203.

Title: First-order adaptive system for correction of images in solar ground-based telescopes Authors: Antoshkin, Leonid V.; Borovik, A. B.; Botygina, Nina N.; Bulatov, Alexei V.; Emaleev, Oleg N.; Firstova, N. M.; Fortes, Boris V.; Grigoryev, Victor M.; Kovadlo, P. G.; Lavrinova, L. N.; Lukin, Vladimir P.; Petrov, A. I.; Skomorovsky, Valery I.; Yankov, A. P. Bibcode: 2000SPIE.4007..232A Altcode: The possibility of applying adaptive-optics devices to ground- based solar astronomy and high-resolution spectroscopy is considered. Due to atmospheric turbulence the resolution of ground-based solar telescopes are limited to 1 arcsec on the average with short period of subarcsecond resolution at good sites. Application of adaptive correction is a ground-based telescope to improve image quality is possible to improve whole performance of telescope to obtain images with resolution about 0.3' and to improve resolution for spectral measurements of the Sun. Adaptive Optics represent a visible tool for increasing the resolution of ground-based telescopes to the level that will be needed to understand the physical processes occurring on the Sun. An experimental adaptive- optics system for image stabilization is described, as well as the results of its tests. Different ways of the further development of the adaptive-optics system for use in the Big Solar Vacuum Telescope (BSVT) of the Baikal Astrophysical Observatory are discussed. Title: The linear polarization in moustaches Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Boulatov, A. V.; Kashapova, L. K.

M.; Kashapova, L. K.; Bulatov, A. V.; Petrashen', A. G. Bibcode: 1998RuPhJ..41.1258K Altcode: Polarization data are given for three whiskers recorded with the large solar vacuum telescope at Baikal Observatory, Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences. The observed degree of polarization varies from 2 to 13%. The direction of the polarization plane for the medium intensity whisker was tangential, while that for the weakest one was radial. The brightest whisker had a polarization plane direction close to radial at the center of the line but tangential at the flanks. It is assumed that the polarization is due to impact excitation of a hydrogen-atom ensemble in the solar chromosphere by an electron beam, and estimates are made of the beam energy. Title: Spectropolarimetric studies of H alpha emission in "solar moustaches": Observations and calculation of the Stokes parameters Authors: Kazantsev, S. A.; Firstova, N. M.; Kashapova, L.

Title: Spectroscopolarimetric Sensing of Energy Deposition Into the Chromosphere during Solar Flares - I. Observations Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Hénoux, J. -C.; Kazantsev, S. A.; Bulatov, A. V. Bibcode: 1997SoPh..171..123F Altcode: Measurements of linear polarization in hydrogen Hα and Hβ lines, made with the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope of Baikal Astrophysical Observatory and Automated Solar Telescope of Sayan Solar Observatory, affiliated with the Russian Institute of Solar and Terrestrial Physics, are reported in this paper. Short-term polarization associated with solar flares is found to be present in active regions. There is a significant tendency for the Hα polarization vector to be radial, i.e., in the flare-to-disk-center direction. This polarization may be due to atmospheric bombardment by hecta keV protons. On the other hand, the polarization vector is found to be perpendicular to the radial direction at some locations where the line profile has a typical mustache shape suggesting a bombardment by energetic electrons. The Hβ line is also linearly polarized. However, no preferential direction of polarization is found in this line, which is formed more deeply in the solar atmosphere.

Bibcode: 1996SoPh..164..361F Altcode: In a search for linear polarization effects, 37 profiles of the Hα line emitted in the 16 May 1991 flare have been analyzed. Linear polarization is clearly present in the central part of line. On average, the degree of polarization is 7 %, but it reaches 20 % in regions with lower Hga emission. Generally the orientation of the plane of polarization coincides with the flare to disk center direction, except for sections where the Hga line has the characteristic form observed in moustaches. We believe that the linear polarization observed in the 16 May 1991 flare was caused by bombardment of the chromosphere by beams of accelerated particles, protons in the main part of the flare and electrons at locations where the Hga line has the characteristic moustache structure.

Bibcode: 1990JQSRT..44..177F Altcode: Using two techniques (the polarization method and the Baranger-Mozer method) a study has been made of plasma turbulence in solar emission features. The study suggests the conclusion that the 0.02 - 0.03 plasma turbulence level (E = 1 - 2 kV cm-1) seems to be the highest achieved in flares. Title: On the Presence of High-frequency Turbulent Electric Fields in the August 7, 1960 Flare Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Heinzel, P.; Kotrc, P. Bibcode: 1990BAICz..41...88F Altcode: According to Oks (1978), the wings of some hydrogen Balmer lines observed in the spectrum of the moustache-like flare of August 7, 1960 do exhibit theoretically predicted dips, which should indicate the presence of Langmuir turbulence. However, these features are rather subtle and thus several difficulties arise if one tries to identify them in the noisy spectra with typically many blends. Moreover, the Balmer profiles used for Oks' analysis were already 'filtered' in a special manner, which strongly affects the results. In view of these problems, consideration is given to whether these dips in this particular flare were real, starting with newly obtained microphotometric records. Using the same lines as Oks (i.e., H7, H8, H11-13), together with H14, none of the expected dips in the line wings were identified. All observational aspects of this analysis are discussed in detail, and new special observations are proposed. The role of electron density variations within the flare volume is also briefly discussed. Title: A Search for a Plasma Turbulence in the Flare of September 15, 1981, 00:09 UT Authors: Firstova, N. M.; Kotrc, P. Bibcode: 1987BAICz..38..257F Altcode: The linear polarization in the H-alpha and H-beta lines in the flare of Sept. 15, 1981, is studied by a photographic method which enables instrumental polarization to be eliminated. Considerable values of the degree of polarization occur in the cores of the lines, at some points as much as 17 percent. However, an objective analysis of all the profiles indicates that the polarization in this flare cannot be demonstrated as the degree of polarization does not exceed, on the average, the inaccuracy of the photographic method used. A blue shift corresponding to the velocities -2.5 km/s and -1.3 km/s has been found in the cores of the H-alpha and H-beta lines, respectively. The blue shift changes into red at about the full width of the half maximum of the lines. Title: An Investigation of the Linear Polarization in Emission Features of Active Regions Authors: Firstova, N. M. Bibcode: 1986SoPh..103...11F Altcode: A study has been made of linear polarization in `moustaches' using the Hα and Hβ lines. A Wollaston prism and an achromatic λ/2-plate were employed in the study. In the course of the observations, the major axis of the plate was placed at 0° and 22°.5 with respect to the horizontal axis of the installation. The Stokes parameters J, Q, and U were recorded, thus enabling the degree of polarization and the field azimuth to be determined. During the first three minutes of the existence of the moustaches, the two lines revealed a linear polarization of about 7% located at the center of the lines. No polarization was found during the later stage of the moustaches' lifetimes. Whenever the linear polarization is present, there is a tendency for the polarization to decrease rapidly, in accompaniment of a turning of the azimuth. Several mechanisms for interpreting the polarization observed in the moustaches are examined. Some suggestions are made in support of the excitation of hydrogen atoms in the moustaches initiated by a high-energy electron flux or vertical heat conduction.

Bibcode: 1976SoPh...48..103T Altcode: The shapes of the Ca II H and K lines in sunspot umbral spectra vary from single asymmetric peaks near the centre of the disk to almost symmetric double peaks at the limb. In addition, there are other differences in the behaviour of both H and K lines in sunspots compared to the quiet Sun. The whole complex of the phenomena observed can not be explained by large scale chromosphere motions. Instead, a satisfactory model reproducing in detail peculiarities of the umbral emission reversals contains a cloud of emitting and absorbing gas located above the chromosphere, which flows into the sunspot. The radiation field parameters in such a cloud are consistent with the concept of weak quiescent prominences above the umbra.
