Mesoscale Magnetic Flux Tubes and Structures in the Solar Atmosphere: Origins and Effects
Mesoscale Magnetic Flux Tubes and Structures in the Solar Atmosphere: Origins and Effects
Session ID#: 281618
Session Description:
The magnetic fields in the solar corona and solar wind are highly structured. Observed large and meso-scale magnetic structures have important roles in heliospheric dynamics, supplying energy at the outer scales to drive much smaller scale turbulence, and providing a cellular organization that can channel or even restrict energetic particle propagation. This session features topics related to flux tube dynamics in solar corona and solar wind and related effects. Topics will include flux tube formation, Grad Shafranov reconstruction, boundary effects, flux tube dynamics, relaxation processes, Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices and their magnetic effect, and origin of the 1/f signal, as well as effects of these on solar energetic particle propagation and turbulence. Relevant theoretical, simulation and observational studies are welcome, with anticipated connections to data from solar and heliospheric missions such as Stereo, Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, PUNCH, IMAP, and Helioswarm.
