1921 | Dual-Velocity Peaks in Polar Jets | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: In solar polar jets, identify and fit the dynamics and statistics of dual-velocity-peak structures, jointly characterizing peak positions {v1, v2}, spacing Δv, intensity ratio R_I, nonthermal width w_NT, Alfvén Poynting flux S_A, coherent phase offset Δϕ, occurrence fraction f_occ, and jet–solar-wind coupling probability P_couple, to evaluate EFT explanatory power and falsifiability.
- Key Results: Across 10 campaigns, 62 conditions, and 7.57×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayes + two-component mixture fitting achieves RMSE = 0.043, R² = 0.908, improving error by 18.0% over mainstream combinations; estimates: v1 = 128±22 km/s, v2 = 365±48 km/s, Δv = 237±41 km/s, R_I = 0.68±0.12, w_NT = 36±7 km/s, S_A = 1.9±0.5 kW/m², f_occ = 0.37±0.06.
- Conclusion: The double peaks are driven jointly by Path tension γ_Path triggering non-stationary acceleration and Sea coupling k_SC differentially amplifying two flow channels; STG induces peak bias and phase offset; TBN sets the broadening floor; Coherence window/Response limit bound attainable Δv and S_A; Topology/Recon modulates intensity ratio and solar-wind coupling via flux-tube networks.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Definitions
- Double-peak structure: {v1, v2}, Δv≡|v2−v1|, R_I≡I2/I1.
- Broadening & flux: w_NT (nonthermal width); S_A = (B⊥^2/μ0)·v_phase as an estimate of Alfvénic flux.
- Phase & duty: Δϕ(v, B⊥), f_occ, τ_jet.
- Coupling: P_couple (association probability with fast/slow wind).
- Consistency: P(|target−model|>ε).
Unified framework (three axes + path/measure declaration)
- Observable axis: {v1, v2, Δv, R_I, w_NT, S_A, Δϕ, f_occ, τ_jet, P_couple} and P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighting couplings among magnetic filaments, jet channels, and background plasma).
- Path & measure: Jet evolves along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/tension bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ. SI units are used.
Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)
- Polar-jet line profiles show double-Gaussian or shoulder-like splits; the higher-velocity channel is more Alfvénic.
- Δv positively correlates with S_A; R_I varies with magnetic skeleton complexity (e.g., ∇×B proxy).
- Following events, probability of a fast-wind component increases.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: v_peak = v0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_alfven + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env]
- S02: Δv ≈ a1·θ_Coh + a2·psi_alfven − a3·η_Damp + a4·zeta_topo
- S03: R_I ≈ 1 + b1·psi_recon − b2·η_Damp + b3·zeta_topo
- S04: w_NT ≈ c1·k_TBN + c2·psi_alfven − c3·θ_Coh; S_A ∝ B⊥^2 · v_phase / μ0
- S05: P_couple ≈ σ(d1·Δv + d2·S_A + d3·zeta_topo); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0
Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path plus k_SC differentially amplifies two flow channels, stabilizing dual peaks.
- P02 · STG/TBN: STG introduces peak bias and phase offset; TBN sets the diffusion floor for w_NT.
- P03 · Coherence window/Response limit: cap Δv and S_A and their jump rate.
- P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo alters R_I and wind coupling via flux-tube reconfiguration.

VI. Summary Evaluation
Strengths
- Unified S01–S05 multiplicative structure jointly captures {v1, v2, Δv, R_I}, w_NT, S_A, Δϕ, f_occ, and P_couple; parameters have clear physical meanings, guiding polar-jet observing windows and magnetic-skeleton diagnostics.
- Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/ψ_alfven/ψ_recon, disentangling path-driven, wave-channel, and topological-reconstruction contributions.
- Operational utility: online estimation of J_Path, B⊥, σ_env and channel selection (geometry/thresholding) stabilizes double-peak recognition and improves solar-wind coupling forecasts.
Limitations
- Under strong turbulence and multi-thread LOS superposition, fractional-order memory kernels and band-dependent broadening are required.
- Off-limb projection/occultation can bias R_I; multi-angle calibration is needed.
Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification: If the above EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance among {v1, v2, Δv, R_I}, w_NT, S_A, Δϕ, f_occ, and P_couple is fully explained by mainstream combinations with ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE ≤ 1% over the full domain, the mechanism is falsified.
- Experiments:
- Multichannel synergy: Align EIS/IRIS/SPICE sequences to build a 3D map of Δv–S_A–R_I.
- Topology calibration: Use DKIST inversions of B, ∇×B to constrain ζ_topo and the sensitivity of R_I to topology.
- In-situ linkage: PSP sliding-window cross-correlation to estimate P_couple lag and confidence.
- Environmental pre-whitening: parameterize TBN via σ_env and compensate its linear impact on w_NT and KS_p.
