Mangalam, Indian Institute of Astrophysics Abstract Type : Poster Abstract Category : Sun and the Solar System Abstract : We assume a single open magnetic flux tube spanning the solar photosphere and the lower corona in magnetohydrostatic equilibrium within a realistic stratified atmosphere subject to solar gravity. We explore variants of the self-similar sunspot model with twisted magnetic fields. The analytical solution of the variation of magnetic field strength with the depth is used to derive the run of plasma density and pressure. The aim is to apply this model as the background condition for numerical studies of energy transport mechanisms from the solar surface to the corona taking realistic inputs of field strength and pressure distribution observed in the lower solar atmosphere. |
