Journal ArticleDOI
An Optimization Approach to Reconstructing Force-free Fields
TL;DR: In this article, a method for reconstructing force-free magnetic fields from their boundary values, based on minimizing the global departure of an initial field from a force free and solenoidal state, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force-free magnetic fields - The magneto-frictional method
TL;DR: In this article, a magneto-frictional method was proposed to calculate magnetic field configurations in which the Lorentz force j x B is everywhere zero, subject to specified boundary conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaporative cooling of flare plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, a one-dimensional loop model for the evaporative cooling of the coronal flare plasma is proposed, where the important assumptions are that conductive losses dominate radiative cooling and that the evapative velocities are small compared with the sound speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force-free magnetic-field structures and their role in solar activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetic field pattern associated with a sunspot of one polarity surrounded by a magnetic region of opposite polarity when the sunspot rotates with respect to the surrounding region is calculated by numerical methods.
