First Stereoscopic Coronal Loop Reconstructions from Stereo Secchi Images
L. Feng, B. Inhester, S. K. Solanki +4
We present the first reconstruction of the three-dimensional shape of magnetic loops in an active region from two different vantage points based on simultaneously recorded images.…
Nonlinear force-free magnetic field extrapolations: comparison of the Grad-Rubin and Wheatland-Sturrock-Roumeliotis algorithm
B. Inhester, T. Wiegelmann
We compare the performance of two alternative algorithms which aim to construct a force-free magnetic field given suitable boundary conditions. For this comparison, we have impleme…
Segmentation of Loops from Coronal EUV Images
B. Inhester, L. Feng, T. Wiegelmann
We present a procedure which extracts bright loop features from solar EUV images. In terms of image intensities, these features are elongated ridge-like intensity maxima. To discri…
Testing non-linear force-free coronal magnetic field extrapolations with the Titov-Demoulin equilibrium
Thomas Wiegelmann, Bernd Inhester, Bernhard Kliem +2
CONTEXT: As the coronal magnetic field can usually not be measured directly, it has to be extrapolated from photospheric measurements into the corona. AIMS: We test the quality of…
Stereoscopy basics for the STEREO mission
Bernd Inhester
We discuss some basic principles of stereoscopy and their relevance to the reconstruction of coronal loops. The aim of the paper is to make the solar physicist familiar with basic…
Preprocessing of vector magnetograph data for a non-linear force-free magnetic field reconstruction
Thomas Wiegelmann, Bernd Inhester, Takashi Sakurai
Knowledge regarding the coronal magnetic field is important for the understanding of many phenomena, like flares and coronal mass ejections. Because of the low plasma beta in the s…
