The steady incompressible ideal free-boundary flows of a hydromagnetic star

B. C. Low, S. W. McIntosh

This self-contained theoretical study treats incompressible, free-boundary flows in a gravitating, ideal hydromagnetic star abutting vacuum, centered on the steady field-aligned fl…

Uniting The Sun's Hale Magnetic Cycle and `Extended Solar Cycle' Paradigms

Scott W. McIntosh, Phillip H. Scherrer, Leif Svalgaard +1

Through meticulous daily observation of the Sun's large-scale magnetic field the Wilcox Solar Observatory (WSO) has catalogued two magnetic (Hale) cycles of solar activity. Those t…

Deciphering Solar Magnetic Activity: The (Solar) Hale Cycle Terminator of 2021

Scott W McIntosh, Robert J. Leamon, R. Egeland

We previously identified an event in the solar timeline that appeared to play a role in how Sunspot Cycle 23 (SC23) transitioned into Sunspot Cycle 24 (SC24). The timeframe for thi…

Probing the physics of the solar atmosphere with the Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE): I. Coronal Heating

Bart De Pontieu, Paola Testa, Juan Martinez-Sykora +24

The Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE) is a proposed NASA MIDEX mission, currently in Phase A, composed of a multi-slit EUV spectrograph (in three narrow spectral bands centered arou…

A new view of the solar interface region from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS)

B. De Pontieu, V. Polito, V. Hansteen +11

The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) has been obtaining near- and far-ultraviolet images and spectra of the solar atmosphere since July 2013. The unique combination of…

The Sun's magnetic (Hale) cycle and 27 day recurrences in the geomagnetic index

S. C. Chapman, S. W. McIntosh, R. J. Leamon +1

We construct a new solar cycle phase clock which maps each of the last 18 solar cycles onto a single normalized epoch for the approximately 22 year Hale (magnetic polarity) cycle,…
