Calibrating the WSA model in EUHFORIA based on PSP observations
Evangelia Samara, Charles N. Arge, Rui F. Pinto +5
We employ Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations during the latest solar minimum period (years 2018 -2021) to calibrate the version of the Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA) coronal model used…
Coronal Models and Detection of Open Magnetic Field
Eleanna Asvestari, Manuela Temmer, Ronald M. Caplan +11
A plethora of coronal models, from empirical to more complex magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ones, are being used for reconstructing the coronal magnetic field topology and estimating th…
HelioCast: heliospheric forecasting based on white-light observations of the solar corona. I. Solar minimum conditions
Victor Réville, Nicolas Poirier, Athanasios Kouloumvakos +8
We present a new 3D MHD heliospheric model for space-weather forecasting driven by boundary conditions defined from white-light observations of the solar corona. The model is based…
Exploring the Solar Poles: The Last Great Frontier of the Sun
Dibyendu Nandy, Dipankar Banerjee, Prantika Bhowmik +19
Despite investments in multiple space and ground-based solar observatories by the global community, the Sun's polar regions remain unchartered territory - the last great frontier f…
Production of sunspots and their effects on the corona and solar wind: Insights from a new 3D flux-transport dynamo model
Rohit Kumar, Laurène Jouve, Rui F. Pinto +1
We present a three-dimensional numerical model for the generation and evolution of the magnetic field in the solar convection zone, in which sunspots are produced and contribute to…
Observational evidence for the associated formation of blobs and raining inflows in the solar Corona
Eduardo Sanchez-Diaz, Alexis P. Rouillard, Jackie A. Davies +6
The origin of the slow solar wind is still a topic of much debate. The continual emergence of small transient structures from helmet streamers is thought to constitute one of the m…
A multiple flux-tube solar wind model
Rui F. Pinto, Alexis P. Rouillard
We present a new model, MULTI-VP, that computes the three-dimensional structure of the solar wind which includes the chromosphere, the transition region, and the corona and low hel…
Deriving the properties of coronal pressure fronts in 3-D: application to the 17 May 2012 ground level enhancement
Alexis P. Rouillard, Illya Plotnikov, Rui F. Pinto +12
We study the link between an expanding coronal shock and the energetic particles measured near Earth during the Ground Level Enhancement (GLE) of 17 May 2012. We developed a new te…
The effect of magnetic topology on thermally-driven winds: towards a general formulation of the braking law
Victor Réville, Allan Sacha Brun, Sean Matt +2
Stellar winds are thought to be the main process responsible for the spin down of main-sequence stars. The extraction of angular momentum by a magnetized wind has been studied for…
Soft X-ray emission in kink-unstable coronal loops
R. F. Pinto, N. Vilmer, A. S. Brun
Solar flares are associated with intense soft X-ray emission generated by the hot flaring plasma. Kink unstable twisted flux-ropes provide a source of magnetic energy which can be…
Coupling the solar dynamo and the corona: wind properties, mass and momentum losses during an activity cycle
Rui F. Pinto, Allan Sacha Brun, Laurène Jouve +1
We study the connections between the sun's convection zone and the evolution of the solar wind and corona. We let the magnetic fields generated by a 2.5D axisymmetric kinematic dyn…
