Abstract:
Models of realistic magnetic field configurations, typical of the lower solar atmosphere, in magneto-hydrostatic
equilibrium are analytically constructed. Systems incorporating open single and multiple flux tubes and closed
magnetic loops can be combined to form magnetic structures that could even represent complex solar active regions.
The developed model successfully spans the Interface Region of the solar atmosphere, from the photosphere up to the solar
corona across the challenging transition region, while retaining physically valid plasma pressure, density and magnetic flux.
Modelling magnetic structures can depict the main characteristics of solar intergranular lanes or active regions.
HMI data can be used, as an initial magnetic field distribution,
to construct a realistic magnetic field distribution. The model includes a number of free parameters, which
makes the solution applicable to a variety of other physical problems, and it may therefore be of more general interest.
