Fast Reconstruction of 3D Density Distribution around the Sun Based on the MAS by Deep Learning

This study is the first attempt to generate a three-dimensional (3D) coronal electron density distribution based on the pix2pixHD model, whose computing time is much shorter than that of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation. For this, we consider photospheric solar magnetic fields as input, and...

description This study is the first attempt to generate a three-dimensional (3D) coronal electron density distribution based on the pix2pixHD model, whose computing time is much shorter than that of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation. For this, we consider photospheric solar magnetic fields as input, and electron density distribution simulated with the MHD Algorithm outside a Sphere (MAS) at a given solar radius is taken as output. We consider 155 pairs of Carrington rotations as inputs and outputs from 2010 June to 2022 April for training and testing. We train 152 deep-learning models for 152 solar radii, which are taken up to 30 solar radii. The artificial intelligence (AI) generated 3D electron densities from this study are quite consistent with the simulated ones from lower radii to higher radii, with an average correlation coefficient 0.97. The computing time of testing data sets up to 30 solar radii of 152 deep-learning models is about 45.2 s using the NVIDIA TITAN XP graphics-processing unit, which is much less than the typical simulation time of MAS. We find that the synthetic coronagraphic images estimated from the deep-learning models are similar to the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO)/Large Angle and Spectroscopic Coronagraph C3 coronagraph data, especially during the solar minimum period. The AI-generated coronal density distribution from this study can be used for space weather models on a near-real-time basis.
