Seismic discrimination of thermal and magnetic anomalies in sunspot umbrae
Efforts to model sunspots based on helioseismic signatures need to discriminate between the effects of (1) a strong magnetic field that introduces time-irreversible, vantage-...- publication PDF

Investigating remote-sensing techniques to reveal stealth coronal mass ejections
Eruptions of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun are usually associated with a number of signatures that can be identified in solar disc imagery. However, there are cases...- publication PDF

Rotational transport on a sphere: Local node refinement for radial basis functions
This paper develops an algorithm for radial basis function (RBF) local node refinement and implements it for vortex roll-up and transport on a sphere. A heuristic based on an...- publication PDF

Single-point inversion of the coronal magnetic field
The Fe XIII 10747 and 10798 Ã lines observed in the solar corona are sensitive to the coronal magnetic field in such a way that, in principle, the full vector field at a point...- publication PDF
