Solar Corona: Magnetic Fields, Solar Magnetic Fields: Topology

Scientific paper

Most of the dynamical processes that take place in the Sun's corona (its outer atmosphere) are dominated by the magnetic field. The sources of the coronal field are magnetic fragments scattered over the solar surface and mostly clustered around the edges of large convection cells called supergranules. These sources are not static but continually move about over the surface, coalescing, fragmenting and cancelling with one another. The resulting coronal magnetic field has an incredibly complex topology. In order to begin to understand this complexity it is important to consider, as building blocks, the field generated by a small number of discrete sources.
