Equilibrium and dynamics of coronal magnetic fields.
Abstract
The paper surveys various hydromagnetic processes whose study has been stimulated by the observed behavior of the magnetic field in the solar corona. Attention is given to the equilibrium and stability of magnetic fields, the onset mechanics of the eruption, and the large-scale organization and time-dependent ordered dynamics of the corona. The aim of this survey is to achieve a qualitative physical understanding of the basic behavior of the coronal plasma.
