Funded Activity Summary

Magnetic skeletons, solar flares, and space weather. This project aims to investigate how magnetic reconnection occurs during solar flares through accurate reconstruction of coronal magnetic fields from solar data before and after flares, and by reliable determination of field skeletons. Solar flares are dynamic events in the Sun's corona which cause local space weather storms. Magnetic reconnection is the accepted mechanism for flares but conventional models neglect the three-dimensional (3D) nature of the process. The project will improve 3D reconnection models for flares, and advance the ability to predict large events and hence space weather storms.
