Force-free field modeling of twist and braiding-induced magnetic energy in an active-region corona

J. K. Thalmann, S. K. Tiwari, T. Wiegelmann

The theoretical concept that braided magnetic field lines in the solar corona may dissipate a sufficient amount of energy to account for the brightening observed in the active-regi…

Magnetic structure of solar active region NOAA 11158

P. Vemareddy, A. Ambastha, T. Wiegelmann

Magnetic fields in the solar corona are responsible for a wide range of phenomena. However, any direct measurements of the coronal magnetic fields are very difficult due to lack of…

A Comparison Between Nonlinear Force-Free Field and Potential Field Models Using Full-Disk SDO/HMI Magnetogram

Tilaye Tadesse, T. Wiegelmann, B. Inhester +3

Measurements of magnetic fields and electric currents in the pre-eruptive corona are crucial to study solar eruptive phenomena, like flare and coronal mass ejections(CMEs). However…

Mesogranulation and the solar surface magnetic field distribution

L. Yelles Chaouche, F. Moreno-Insertis, V. Martínez Pillet +9

The relation of the solar surface magnetic field with mesogranular cells is studied using high spatial (~ 100 km) and temporal (~ 30 sec) resolution data obtained with the IMaX ins…

Nonlinear force-free modelling: influence of inaccuracies in the measured magnetic vector

T. Wiegelmann, L. Yelles Chaouche, S. K. Solanki +1

Context: Solar magnetic fields are regularly extrapolated into the corona starting from photospheric magnetic measurements that can suffer from significant uncertainties. Aims: Her…

Computing nonlinear force-free fields in spherical geometry

Thomas Wiegelmann

We describe a newly developed code for the extrapolation of nonlinear force-free coronal magnetic fields in spherical coordinates. The program uses measured vector magnetograms on…
