Tracking Magnetic Topological Change in a Time-Dependent Coronal Model
Emily I. Mason, Cooper Downs, Roberto Lionello +2
We apply the slip-back mapping method of Titov et al. 2009 and Lionello et al. 2020 to a thermodynamic MHD simulation to track topological changes in the magnetic field at a range…
Magnetic switchback formation: a review of proposed mechanisms
Peter F. Wyper, Jonathan Squire, Etienne Pariat +19
Magnetic switchbacks are large amplitude deflections of the magnetic field within the solar wind. They are Alfvénic in character and so are associated with a spike in velocity and…
Magnetic Connectivity in the Time-Dependent Corona and Heliosphere
Roberto Lionello, Cooper Downs, Emily I. Mason +3
Magnetic flux fills the heliosphere, expands outward from the solar corona, and is fundamentally related to the structure and dynamics of the solar corona and solar wind. Open magn…
First detection of acoustic-like flux in the middle solar corona
V. Andretta, L. Abbo, G. Jerse +28
Waves are thought to play a significant role in the heating of the solar atmosphere and the acceleration of the wind. Among the many types of waves observed in the Sun, the so-call…
Investigating Solar Wind Outflows from Open-Closed Magnetic Field Structures Using Coordinated Solar Orbiter and Hinode Observations
Nawin Ngampoopun, Roberto Susino, David H. Brooks +13
ESA/NASA's Solar Orbiter (SO) allows us to study the solar corona at closer distances and from different perspectives, which helps us to gain significant insights into the origins…
Metis Observations of Alfvénic Outflows Driven by Interchange Reconnection in a Pseudostreamer
P. Romano, P. Wyper, V. Andretta +33
This study presents observations of a large pseudostreamer solar eruption and, in particular, the post-eruption relaxation phase, as captured by Metis onboard the Solar Orbiter on…
