Assessing the impact of background subtraction on a dust-free corona

Erika Palmerio, Cooper Downs, Phillip Hess +4

Context. White-light observations of the solar corona contain contributions from both the electron-scattered K-corona and the dust-scattered F-corona. Because the diffuse F-corona…

Portability of Fortran's 'do concurrent' on GPUs II

Ronald M. Caplan, Miko M. Stulajter, Jon A. Linker +6

There continues to be growing interest in using standard language constructs for parallel and accelerated HPC computing, avoiding the need for (sometimes vendor-specific) external…

Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling through Open Science

C. Corti, M. M. Kuznetsova, M. A. Reiss +85

We present a community-wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potenti…

Open-source Flux Transport (OFT). I. HipFT -- High-performance Flux Transport

Ronald M. Caplan, Miko M. Stulajter, Jon A. Linker +6

Global solar photospheric magnetic maps play a critical role in solar and heliospheric physics research. Routine magnetograph measurements of the field occur only along the Sun-Ear…

Energetic Particles from Quasi-Separatrix Layers and Current Sheets at the Sun

Nathan A. Schwadron, Ronald M. Caplan, Jon A. Linker +2

Quasi-separatrix layers (QSLs) at the Sun are created from regions where channels of open magnetic flux have footpoints near regions of large-scale closed magnetic flux. These regi…

Magnetogram-matching Biot-Savart Law and Decomposition of Vector Magnetograms

V. S. Titov, C. Downs, T. Török +3

We generalize a magnetogram-matching Biot-Savart law (BSL) from planar to spherical geometry. For a given coronal current density , this law determines the magnetic field $…

Portability of Fortran's `do concurrent' on GPUs

Ronald M. Caplan, Miko M. Stulajter, Jon A. Linker +6

There is a continuing interest in using standard language constructs for accelerated computing in order to avoid (sometimes vendor-specific) external APIs. For Fortran codes, the {…

Advancing parabolic operators in thermodynamic MHD models II: Evaluating a Practical Time Step Limit for Unconditionally Stable Methods

Ronald M. Caplan, Craig D. Johnston, Lars K. S. Daldoff +1

Unconditionally stable time stepping schemes are useful and often practically necessary for advancing parabolic operators in multi-scale systems. However, serious accuracy problems…

On the Origin of the sudden Heliospheric Open Magnetic Flux Enhancement during the 2014 Pole Reversal

Stephan G. Heinemann, Mathew J. Owens, Manuela Temmer +12

Coronal holes are recognized as the primary sources of heliospheric open magnetic flux (OMF). However, a noticeable gap exists between in-situ measured OMF and that derived from re…

Coronal Models and Detection of Open Magnetic Field

Eleanna Asvestari, Manuela Temmer, Ronald M. Caplan +11

A plethora of coronal models, from empirical to more complex magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ones, are being used for reconstructing the coronal magnetic field topology and estimating th…

A Magnetogram-matching Method for Energizing Magnetic Flux Ropes Toward Eruption

Viacheslav S. Titov, Cooper Downs, Tibor Török +1

We propose a new ``helicity-pumping'' method for energizing coronal equilibria that contain a magnetic flux rope (MFR) toward an eruption. We achieve this in a sequence of magnetoh…

Synchronic coronal hole mapping using multi-instrument EUV images: Data preparation and detection method

R. M. Caplan, C. Downs, J. L. Linker

We describe a method for the automatic mapping of coronal holes (CH) using simultaneous multi-instrument EUV imaging data. Synchronized EUV images from STEREO/EUVI A&B 195A and SDO…
