Modeling of the three-dimensional structure of the magnetic field in the active solar corona
Abstract
Magnetic field structures for various formations localized above active centers in the solar corona are obtained, using a laboratory simulation technique proposed by Gopasiuk et al. (1963) for the magnetic fields in the photosphere. Sunspots are simulated by solenoids, whose system satisfies the necessary similarity relations. The best conformity between the lines-of-force configurations and the distribution of matter are observed for steady arc-shaped formations and for relatively slow ejections. Rapid condensations in fan-shaped ejections do not follow the lines of force. The upper and lower bounds of coronal magnetic field intensity are evaluated.
