Statistical analysis on Dynamic Fibrils observed from NST/BBSO observations [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1711.06381


We present the results obtained from the analysis of dynamic fibrils in NOAA active region (AR) 12132, using high resolution H$\alpha$ observations from New Solar Telescope operating at BBSO. The dynamic fibrils are seen to be moving up and down, and most of these dynamic fibrils are periodic and have jet like appearance. We found from our observations that the fibrils follows perfect parabolic paths at the most in many cases. A statistical measure on the properties of the parabolic paths showing an analysis on deceleration, maximum velocity, duration and kinetic energy of these fibrils is presented here. We found the average maximum velocity to be around 15 km s$^{-1}$ and mean deceleration to be around 100 m s$^{-2}$. The deceleration observed appears to be a fraction of gravity of sun and is not compatible with the path of ballistic at the gravity of sun. We found positive correlation between the deceleration and the maximum velocity. This correlation is consistent with the simulations done earlier on magnetoacoustic shock waves propagating upward.
