The Coronal Global Evolutionary Model: Using HMI Vector Magnetogram and Doppler Data to Determine Coronal Magnetic Field Evolution

J. Todd Hoeksema, William P. Abbett, David J. Bercik +10

The Coronal Global Evolutionary Model (CGEM) provides data-driven simulations of the magnetic field in the solar corona to better understand the build-up of magnetic energy that le…

The PDFI_SS Electric Field Inversion Software

George H. Fisher, Maria D. Kazachenko, Brian T. Welsch +5

We describe the PDFI_SS software library, which is designed to find the electric field at the Sun's photosphere from a sequence of vector magnetogram and Doppler velocity measureme…

The Coronal Global Evolutionary Model: Using HMI Vector Magnetogram and Doppler Data to Model the Buildup of Free Magnetic Energy in the Solar Corona

George H. Fisher, William. P. Abbett, David J. Bercik +11

The most violent space weather events (eruptive solar flares and coronal mass ejections) are driven by the release of free magnetic energy stored in the solar corona. Energy can bu…

Global Forces in Eruptive Solar Flares: The Lorentz force Acting on the Solar Atmosphere and the Solar Interior

George H. Fisher, David J. Bercik, Brian T. Welsch +1

We compute the change in the Lorentz force integrated over the outer solar atmosphere implied by observed changes in vector magnetograms that occur during large, eruptive solar fla…

Estimating Electric Fields from Vector Magnetogram Sequences

G. H. Fisher, B. T. Welsch, W. P. Abbett +1

Determining the electric field (E-field) distribution on the Sun's photosphere is essential for quantitative studies of how energy flows from the Sun's photosphere, through the cor…

Convective Dynamos and the Minimum X-ray Flux in Main Sequence Stars

D. J. Bercik, G. H. FIsher, C. M. Johns-Krull +1

The objective of this paper is to investigate whether a convective dynamo can account quantitatively for the observed lower limit of X-ray surface flux in solar-type main sequence…
