Reconstructing the Coronal Magnetic Field: The Role of Cross-field Currents in Solution Uniqueness
We present a new 3D magnetohydrostatic (MHS) direct elliptic solver for extrapolating the coronal magnetic field from photospheric boundary conditions in a manner consistent with an assumed plasma distribution. We use it to study the uniqueness of the reconstructed magnetic field as a function of ho...
