英文摘要 | Abstract Magnetic reconnection plays a crucial role in the energy release process for different kinds of solar eruptions and activities. The rapid solar eruption requires a fast reconnection model. Plasmoid instability in the reconnecting current sheets is one of the most acceptable fast reconnection mechanisms for explaining the explosive events in the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) scale, which is also a potential bridge between the macroscopic MHD reconnection process and microscale dissipations. Plenty of high-resolution observations indicate that the plasmoid-like structures exist in the high-temperature solar corona, but such evidences are very rare in the lower solar atmosphere with partially ionized plasmas. Utilizing joint observations from the Goode Solar Telescope and the Solar Dynamics Observatory, we discovered a small-scale eruptive phenomenon in NOAA Active Region 13085, characterized by clear reconnection cusp structures, supported by nonlinear force-free field extrapolation results. The plasmoid-like structures with a size of about 150 km were observed to be ejected downward from the current sheet at a maximum velocity of 24 km s?1 in the Hα line wing images, followed by enhanced emissions at around the postflare loop region in multiple wavelengths. Our 2.5D high-resolution MHD simulations further reproduced such a phenomenon and revealed reconnection fine structures. These results provide comprehensive evidences for the plasmoid-mediated reconnection in partially ionized plasmas, and suggest a unified reconnection model for solar flares with different length scales from the lower chromosphere to the corona. |
