Forecasting the geomagnetic effects of solar storms, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), is currently severely limited by our inability to predict the magnetic field configuration in the CME magnetic core and by observational effects of a single...

Magnetic Flux Rope Identification and Characterization from Observationally Driven Solar Coronal Models (2017)
Journal Article
Lowder, C., & Yeates, A. (2017). Magnetic Flux Rope Identification and Characterization from Observationally Driven Solar Coronal Models. Astrophysical Journal, 846(2), Article 106. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa86b1

Formed through magnetic field shearing and reconnection in the solar corona, magnetic flux ropes are structures of twisted magnetic field, threaded along an axis. Their evolution and potential eruption are of great importance for space weather. Here...

Coronal Holes and Open Magnetic Flux over Cycles 23 and 24 (2016)
Journal Article
Lowder, C., Qiu, J., & Leamon, R. (2016). Coronal Holes and Open Magnetic Flux over Cycles 23 and 24. Solar Physics, 292(1), Article 18. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11207-016-1041-8

As the observational signature of the footprints of solar magnetic field lines open into the heliosphere, coronal holes provide a critical measure of the structure and evolution of these lines. Using a combination of Solar and Heliospheric Observator... Read More about Coronal Holes and Open Magnetic Flux over Cycles 23 and 24.
