Solar coronal magnetic fields derived using seismology techniques applied to omnipresent sunspot waves
Abstract
Sunspots are transient cool regions on the Sun's photosphere where concentrated magnetic field lines suppress convection. It turns out that sunspot oscillations can map the coronal magnetic field strength with high resolution.
