These observations span a broad frequency range of ∼ 300 to 3100 MHz, encompassing the P-, L-, and S-bands, and cover heliocentric distances from ∼ 5 to 200 solar radii. Each L-band observation provided simultaneous measurements across a bandwidth of approximately 600 MHz. Furthermore, whenever feasible, the near-simultaneous measurements of a source acquired across all three frequency bands were useful to study the scintillation characteristics over a much wider frequency band along the same line of sight through the heliosphere. The dynamic spectrum of the scintillations obtained at the L-band shows a systematic decrease in the scintillation index from the lowest to the highest frequency, offering valuable insight into the influence of the solar wind density microstructures responsible for scintillation. Analyses of the scintillation index (<span>(m)</span>) for multiple sources at the L-band, along with near-simultaneous observations of selected sources covering the P-, L-, and S-bands, clearly demonstrate a wavelength dependence of <span>(m propto lambda ^{omega })</span>, which inherently leads to a dependence of <span>(m)</span> on the Fresnel scale, when considering the effective distance to the scattering screen, <span>(z)</span>. The index <span>(omega )</span> ranges between ∼ 1 and 1.8. The average <span>(omega )</span> value of a source, determined from observations made on multiple days (i.e., at a range of solar offsets to mitigate the influence of possible day-to-day variations in solar-wind turbulence) exhibits variability across sources. The results on the radial dependence of scintillation agree with earlier IPS measurements. The temporal power spectra obtained over the wide frequency range exhibit a power-level evolution in accordance with the wavelength dependence and a broadening with an increasing observation frequency. Furthermore, the increased temporal–frequency rounding of the “Fresnel knee” in the spectrum with the observing frequency suggests a novel phenomenon: an increase in anisotropy as the scale size of the density–turbulence structure decreases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":777,"journal":{"name":"Solar Physics","volume":"300 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143716809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to investigate CMEs based on in-situ measurements that provide a one-dimensional (1D) cut of the CME parameters over the spacecraft trajectory, various magnetic flux rope (MFR) models have been developed, among which the models with a circular cross section are the most popular and widely used. CMEs are found to be deformed during their propagation in interplanetary space, in which the cross section may be flattened in the direction of propagation, leading to the development of an elliptical or even pancake-like shape. We use numerical MHD simulations in 2.5D to investigate the influence of the CME deformation on the in-situ fitting using two linear force-free MFR models with a circular cross section, and we focus on the axial and poloidal magnetic fluxes, which are conserved in the ideal MHD frame. We quantitatively compare the fitted axial and poloidal fluxes with those in the simulations. We find that both models underestimate the axial flux compared to that in the simulations and that such underestimations depend on the CME deformation. However, the fitting of the poloidal flux is independent of the deformation. We discuss the reasons for the axial flux underestimation and the implication of the CME deformation for the CME in-situ fitting.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":777,"journal":{"name":"Solar Physics","volume":"300 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies have shown that changes in the photosphere’s magnetic field can destabilize the large-scale structure of the corona, leading to explosive events such as flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). This paper delves into the magnetic field evolution associated with a powerful X1.6 class flare that erupted on October 22, 2014, from the flare-rich active region NOAA 12192. We track these changes using high-resolution vector magnetograms from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) on NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO). Our analysis reveals that a brightening, a precursor to the flare, began near the newly emerged, small-scale bipolar flux regions. During the X1.6 flare, the magnetic flux in both polarities displayed emergence and cancellation. The total current within the active region peaked during the flare. However, it is a non-CME event, and the ratio of direct-to-return current value remains close to 1. The large flare in this active region occurred when the net current in both polarities attained the same sign. This implies that the Lorentz force, a consequence of the interaction between currents and magnetic fields, would have pushed the field lines together in this scenario. This reconnection of opposing magnetic fields is believed to be the driving force behind the major flare in this active region.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":777,"journal":{"name":"Solar Physics","volume":"300 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aim to show that the velocity field of faint propagating disturbances (PD) observed on-disk in the quiet corona can be interpreted in terms of the underlying magnetic topology. The PD are observed in Atmospheric Imaging Assembly/Solar Dynamics Observatory (AIA/SDO) time series in three channels: 304, 171, and 193 Å corresponding to the high chromosphere, transition region/low corona, and the corona, respectively. An established Time-Normalised Optical Flow method enhances the PD and applies a Lucas–Kanade algorithm to gain their velocity field. From the velocity field, we identify the source and sink locations of the PDs, and compare these locations between channels and with the underlying photospheric network. Source regions tend to be located above the photospheric network, and sink regions with the internetwork. Sink regions in the internetwork suggest either that closed field can be concentrated rather than evenly distributed in the internetwork, or that fieldlines opening into the corona can sometimes be concentrated above internetwork regions. We find regions of almost exact alignment between channels, and other regions where similar-shaped structures are offset by a few pixels between channels. These are readily interpreted as vertical or non-vertical alignment of the magnetic field relative to the observer viewing from above. Regions of isolated source regions in the cold (304 Å) or hotter (171 and 193 Å) channels can be interpreted in terms of the magnetic topology, but support for this is weaker.
