Coriolis force acting on near-surface horizontal flows during simulations of flux emergence produces a tilt angle consistent with Joy's law on the Sun
William Roland-Batty, Hannah Schunker, Robert H. Cameron +3
Joy's law describes the tilt of bipolar active regions on the Sun away from an east-west orientation, where the flux of the polarity concentrated at the prograde side tends to be c…

The Sun's open-closed flux boundary and the origin of the slow solar wind
Chloe P. Wilkins, David I. Pontin, Anthony R. Yeates +3
The Sun's open-closed flux boundary (OCB) separates closed and open magnetic field lines, and is the site for interchange magnetic reconnection processes thought to be linked to th…

A flux-independent increase in outflows prior to the emergence of active regions on the Sun
Hannah Schunker, William Roland-Batty, Aaron C. Birch +3
Emerging active regions are associated with convective flows on the spatial scale and lifetimes of supergranules. To understand how these flows are involved in the formation of act…
