Asymmetry of the spectral lines of the coronal hole and quiet Sun in the transition region

The asymmetry of line profiles, i.e. the secondary component, is crucial to understanding the energy release of coronal holes (CH), quiet Sun (QS), and bright points (BPs). We investigate the asymmetry of Si IV 1393.75 & Aring; of the transition-region (TR) line recorded by Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and co-spatial-temporal Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) data onboard Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) for three time series on 2015 April 26, 2014 July 24, and 2014 July 26. Most asymmetric profiles are in the complex magnetic field regions of the networks. The asymmetric profiles are fitted with both single and double Gaussian models. The mean value of Doppler velocity of the second component is almost zero (with a significant standard deviation) in QS/CH, which may indicate that the physical process to trigger the secondary Gaussian originates at the formation height of Si IV. While the mean Doppler velocity from secondary Gaussian in BPs is around +4.0 km s(-1) (redshifted). The non-thermal velocities of the secondary Gaussian in all three regions are slightly higher than the single Gaussian. The statistical investigation leads to the prevalence of blueshifted secondary components in QS/CH. However, secondary Gaussian in the BPs redshifted, i.e. the BPs redshift behaviour could be interpreted due to the site of reconnection located above the formation height of the Si IV line. The peak intensity of the second component for all three regions is likely to follow a power law that is a signature of the small-scale flaring-like trigger mechanism.
