摘要:The Educational Adaptive-optics Solar Telescope (EAST) at the Shanghai Astronomy Museum has been running routine astronomical observations since 2021. It is a 65-cm-aperture Gregorian solar telescope for scientific education, outreach, and research. The telescope system is designed in an “open” format so that the solar tower architecture can be integrated with it, and visitors can watch the observations live from inside the tower. Equipped with adaptive optics, a high-resolution imaging system, and an integral field unit spectro-imaging system, this telescope can obtain high-resolution solar images in the TiO and Hα bands, and perform spectral image reconstruction using 400 optical fibers at selected wavelengths. It can be used not only in public education and scientific outreach but also in solar physics research.

摘要: Magnetic flux ropes (MFRs), sets of coherently twisted magnetic field lines, are believed as core structures of various solar eruptions. Their evolution plays an important role to understand the physical mechanisms of solar eruptions, and can shed light on adverse space weather near the Earth. However, the erupting MFRs are occasionally prevented by strong overlying magnetic fields, and the MFR evolution during the descending phase in the confined cases is lack of attention. Here, we present the deformation of an erupting MFR accompanied by a confined double-peaked solar flare. The first peak corresponded to the MFR eruption in a standard flare model, and the second peak was closely associated with the flashings of an underlying sheared arcade (SA), the reversal slipping motion of the L-shaped flare ribbon, the falling of the MFR, and the shifting of top of filament threads. All results suggest that the confined MFR eruption involved in two-step magnetic reconnection presenting two distinct episodes of energy release in the flare impulsive phase, and the latter magnetic reconnection between the confined MFR and the underlying SA caused the deformation of MFR.
