Modelling the Global Solar Corona III: Origin of the Hemispheric Pattern of Filaments

A. R. Yeates, D. H. Mackay

We consider the physical origin of the hemispheric pattern of filament chirality on the Sun. Our 3D simulations of the coronal field evolution over a period of 6 months, based on p…

Evolution and Distribution of Current Helicity in Full-Sun Simulations

A. R. Yeates, D. H. Mackay, A. A. van Ballegooijen

Current helicity quantifies the location of twisted and sheared non-potential structures in a magnetic field. We simulate the evolution of magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere i…

Modelling the Global Solar Corona II: Coronal Evolution and Filament Chirality Comparison

A. R. Yeates, D. H. Mackay, A. A. van Ballegooijen

The hemispheric pattern of solar filaments is considered using newly-developed simulations of the real photospheric and 3D coronal magnetic fields over a 6-month period, on a globa…

Exploring the Physical Basis of Solar Cycle Predictions: Flux Transport Dynamics and Persistence of Memory in Advection versus Diffusion Dominated Solar Convection Zones

A. R. Yeates, D. Nandy, D. H. Mackay

The predictability, or lack thereof, of the solar cycle is governed by numerous separate physical processes that act in unison in the interior of the Sun. Magnetic flux transport a…

Modelling the Global Solar Corona: Filament Chirality Observations and Surface Simulations

A. R. Yeates, D. H. Mackay, A. A. van Ballegooijen

The hemispheric pattern of solar filaments is considered in the context of the global magnetic field of the solar corona. In recent work Mackay and van Ballegooijen have shown how,…
