Final report

  
Results in Hungarian
A Nap aktivitási jelenségek 3-dimenziós rekonstrukcióját végeztük el, űreszközök észleléseit modellezéssel kombinálva. Kimutattuk, hogy (1) a konvektív zónában levő örvények a felszálló mágneses fluxuscsövek deformációjának legfőbb okozói; (2) a nyírott mágneses terek disszipációján alapuló korona fűtési modellek jobb egyezést mutatnak az észlelésekből levont skálázási szabályokkal, mint az elektromágneses hullámok disszipációján alapuló modellek; 3) a fehér flerek esetében a koronában jelentősen magasabb a gáznyomás, mint az azonos energiát felszabadító, de fehér fényű emissziót nem produkáló flerekben; (4) az első észlelési bizonyítékot szolgáltattuk a koronalyukak határa mentén folytonos mágneses átkötődésre; (5) korona kitörésekben különböző modellek kombinált, egymást segítő működése vezet aktivitáshoz. Továbbá, úttörő munkát végeztünk a mágneses helicitás észlelésekből való meghatározására a koronában és korona kitörések során kidobott interplanetáris mágneses felhőkben, az első kvantitatív bizonyítékot szolgáltatván fizikai kapcsolatukra. A csillagaktivitás terén sikerült megvalósítani a legtöbb célkitűzésünket. Több vizsgálatot végeztünk a csillagok aktivitására vonatkozóan hosszú időskálájú fotometriai és spektroszkópiai méréseket felhasználva. Megerősítettük a csillagokra kapott legrövidebb ciklushosszakat és összefüggésüket a rotációs periódussal. Több aktív csillagon mutattunk ki differenciális rotációt Doppler leképezés és fotometriai adatok felhasználásával (UZ Lib, zeta And, LQ Hya, IL Hya). Részletesen vizsgáltuk több csillagon az aktív hosszúságok helyzetét (IM Peg, UZ Lib, FK Com).
Results in English
In solar studies we carried out 3-D reconstruction of solar events based on multi-wavelength space-born data combined with modelling. We have shown, that (1) in the convective zone emerging flux tubes are deformed mainly by huge vortices; (2) coronal heating models based on dissipation of stressed magnetic fields were in better agreement with the scaling laws deduced from observations than the models based on MHD wave dissipation; (3) white-light flares have higher coronal pressure than flares of the same energy, but having no white-light emission; (4) the first observational evidence for continuous magnetic reconnection along coronal hole boundaries; (5) in coronal mass ejections (CMEs) a combination of different models lead to eruption. Furthermore, we have done pioneering work on deducing magnetic helicity from observations both in the solar corona and in interplanetary magnetic clouds (MCs), which are ejected in CMEs, providing the first quantitative evidence for the direct corrrespondence between CMEs and MCs. In active star studies, we succesfully realised most of our goals. We carried our several studies on stellar activity using long-term spectroscopic and photometric observational data. We confirmed the shortest cycle lengths of stars and their correlation with the stars' rotational periods. Differential rotation was revelaed on several stars from Doppler maps and photometric data (UZ Lib, zeta And, LQ Hya, IL Hya). We studied the location of the active longitudes on IM Peg, UZ Lib and FK Com in details.
