Three-dimensional Solutions of Magnetohydrodynamic Equationsfor Prominence Magnetic Support: Twisted Magnetic Flux Rope
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that it is possible to produce a configuration that consists of a twisted magnetic flux tube embedded in an overlaying, almost potential, arcade such that high electric currents (and therefore values of α) are confined to the inner twisted magnet flux rope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fitting flux ropes to a global MHD solution: a comparison of techniques
Pete Riley,Jon A. Linker,Roberto Lionello,Zoran Mikic,Dusan Odstrcil,Miguel Angel Hidalgo,Consuelo Cid,Qiang Hu,R. P. Lepping,B. J. Lynch,A. Rees +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply five different fitting techniques to two hypothetical time series derived from MHD simulation results, for which no information, other than the time series, was provided, and infer the following: accuracy decreases with increasingly glancing encounters; Correct identification of the boundaries of the flux rope can be a significant limiter; and results from techniques that infer global morphology must be viewed with caution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Problems and Progress in Computing Three-Dimensional Coronal Active Region Magnetic Fields from Boundary Data
TL;DR: An overview of the whole process of reconstructing the coronal magnetic field from boundary data measured at the photosphere is presented in this paper, where the authors discuss the errors and uncertainties in the data and in data reduction process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disruption of a helmet streamer by photospheric shear
Jon A. Linker,Zoran Mikic +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional (azimuthally symmetric) helmet streamer configuration was developed by computing solutions of the time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations, and the evolution of the configuration when photospheric shearing motions are imposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Multi-Observatory Inter-Comparison of Line-of-Sight Synoptic Solar Magnetograms
Pete Riley,Michal Ben-Nun,Jon A. Linker,Zoran Mikic,Leif Svalgaard,J. W. Harvey,L. Bertello,Todd Hoeksema,Y. Liu,Roger K. Ulrich +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare synoptic maps from seven solar observatories (Stanford/WSO, NSO/KPVT, NNSO/SOLIS, NNOSO/GONG, SOHO/MDI, UCLA/MWO, and SDO/HMI) to identify consistencies and differences among them.
