Temporal Evolution of Sunspot Groups and Increase in the Open flux During Solar Maximum in Cycle 24
Minami Yoshida, Toshifumi Shimizu, Shin Toriumi +1
The evolution of the global solar magnetic field directly impacts the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). During the solar maximum of Cycle 24, the monthly averaged IMF strength d…
What Determines the Brightness of the Magnetically Open Solar Corona?: Insights from Three-dimensional Radiative Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations and Observations
Haruhisa Iijima
We investigate the relationship between solar coronal holes and open-field regions using three-dimensional radiative magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations combined with remote-sens…
Magnetic reconnection sustains the mass budget of the solar wind
Yajie Chen, Hardi Peter, Damien Przybylski +2
The solar wind originates from regions of open magnetic fields on the Sun, but the relevant processes remain unsolved. We present a self-consistent numerical model of the source re…
Synthetic Ca II 8542 Ã Stokes Profile Associated with Chromospheric Magnetic Reconnection in a Simulated Active Region
Xinyu Zhou, Takaaki Yokoyama, Haruhisa Iijima +4
Magnetic reconnection is an important driving mechanism of many chromospheric phenomena, e.g., UV bursts and chromospheric jets. Information about magnetic field is indispensable f…
