Nonlinear force-free (NLFF) modeling is regularly used in order to indirectly infer the 3D geometry of the coronal magnetic field, not accessible on a regular basis by means of direct measurements otherwise. We study the effect of binning…
We have reported previously on a new method we are developing for using image-based information to improve global coronal magnetic field models. In that work we presented early tests of the method which proved its capability to improve…
Coronal magnetic fields evolve quasi statically over long time scales and dynamically over short time scales. As of now there exists no regular measurements of coronal magnetic fields, and therefore generating the coronal magnetic field…
Observations of surface magnetic fields are now within reach for many stellar types thanks to the development of Zeeman-Doppler Imaging. These observations are extremely useful for constraining rotational evolution models of stars, as well…
Measurement of the coronal magnetic field is a crucial ingredient in understanding the nature of solar coronal dynamic phenomena at all scales. We employ STEREO/COR1 data obtained near maximum of solar activity in December 2012 (Carrington…

Solar flare simulations are commonly initialised using non-linear force free field (NLFF) extrapolations derived from photospheric vector magnetograms. However, the force free assumption neglects plasma forces and may limit the available…
The magnetic field governs the corona; hence it is a crucial parameter to measure. Unfortunately, existing techniques for estimating its strength are limited by strong assumptions and limitations. These techniques include photospheric or…

The magnetic fields in the solar corona are generally neither force-free nor axisymmetric and have complex dynamics that are difficult to characterize. Here we simulate the topological evolution of solar coronal magnetic field lines (MFLs)…
To understand its evolution and the effects of its eruptive events, the Sun is permanently monitored by multiple satellite missions. The optically-thin emission of the solar plasma and the limited number of viewpoints make it challenging to…
