The Magnetic Field Structure of Coronal Mass Ejections: A More Realistic Representation

Lugaz, Noé; Al-Haddad, Nada

It is often accepted that the magnetic field structure of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is accurately represented by the highly twisted circular cross-section magnetic flux rope model, which is the basis of all most commonly used sketches and representations of CMEs. This paradigm has been developed based on studies in the 1970s and 1980s, and it …
