Solar Corona in 3D

Plasma physics of the solar corona and solar wind

Solar plasma The magnetic field couples the solar interior with the photosphere and corona where it drives heating processes and eruptive phenomena like flares and coronal mass ejections. We developed sophisticated computer-codes to model the coronal magnetic field and plasma by nonlinear and self-consistent extrapolation techniques, stereoscopy and tomography.

Science Objectives

  • Nonlinear force-free coronal magnetic field extrapolations
  • Magnetic connectivity between photosphere, chromosphere and corona
  • Coronal heating
  • Monitoring of free magnetic energy to predict flares and CMEs
  • Stereoscopy of active region loops, polar plumes and CMEs
  • Coronal tomography and vector tomography
  • Feature recognition techniques
  • Selfconsistent stationary MHD-equilibria
  • Current sheet formation and magnetic reconnection
