New method makes magnetic maps of the solar corona – EurekAlert
The twisting, ever-shifting and metrically elusive magnetic field of the Sun’s ephemeral outer atmosphere can be mapped using near-infrared observations of the solar corona.
The twisting, ever-shifting and metrically elusive magnetic field of the Sun’s ephemeral outer atmosphere can be mapped using near-infrared observations of the solar corona. The method, presented in a new study, could be used to greatly enhance the understanding of conditions in this poorly studied region of the Sun. The solar corona – the tenuous outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere – consists of a hot and highly diffuse plasma halo extending thousands of kilometers above the star’s burning …
