Filamentary Structure and Dynamics |
of Solar Magnetic Fields |
First meeting: 15-19 November 2010, ISSI, Bern |
Second meeting: 21-25 November 2011, ISSI, Bern |
The filamentary structure is a fundamental property of solar magnetic fields. Recent high-resolution observations and radiative MHD numerical simulations revealed close links between the filamentary structures and plasma dynamics in sunspots and magnetic network. A new emerging paradigm is that the mechanisms of the filamentary structuring and large-scale organization are natural consequences of turbulent magnetoconvection on the Sun. Numerical simulations have provided new explanations to the filamentary structure of sunspots, the Evershed effect and the moving magnetic features. However, many problems remain unsolved because of difficulties with analysis and interpretation of spectro-polarimetric observations and with modeling of the turbulent magnetohydrodynamics processes.
Our main goals are to discuss the recent advances, uncertainties and unsolved problems, compare the models and observations, and develop new approaches to simulations and data analysis of the filamentary magnetic structure and dynamics of the Sun from ground-based telescopes and the space missions Hinode and Solar Dynamics Observatory.
