The potential field source surface (PFSS) equations are commonly used to model the coronal magnetic field of the Sun and other stars. As with any computational model, solving equations using a numerical scheme introduces errors due to…
Magnetohydrostatic models of the solar atmosphere are often based on idealized analytic solutions because the underlying equations are too difficult to solve in full generality. Numerical approaches, too, are often limited in scope and have…
