Fine Magnetic Characteristics of a Light Bridge by Hinode
read the original abstract
Light bridge (LB) is bright structure crossing the umbra of sunspots and associated to the breakup or assembly of sunspots. In this paper, a LB is presented and studied using the observatory data obtained by {\it Hinode} satellites. Force-free factor ($\alpha$) and the z-component of current ($J_{z}$) and tension force ($T_{z}$) are calculated basing on the vector magnetograms observed by Spectro-Polarimeter (SP) of the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) on board {\it Hinode}. It is found that the amplitudes of $\alpha$ and $J_{z}$ of LB are generally larger than those of umbra. It is found that there are two signs of $J_{z}$ along LB, which are divided at near the middle position of LB. It is found that the amplitudes of $T_{z}$ of LB are smaller than those of umbra and there are changes of sign of $T_{z}$ between the boundary of LB and umbra. Through comparisons and investigations, it suggest that LB and umbra maybe two different magnetic systems, which is a necessary condition for interaction magnetic reconnection.
