MAGNETIC FIELDS IN THE OUTER SOLAR ATMOSPHERE

Abstract

On the basis of recent observations, simple mathematical models representing the magnetic field distribution in photospheric layers of the sun are proposed. The structure of the resulting fields in the outer atmosphere and, in particular, the behavior of neutral points is discussed. The expected trapping of charged particles is compared with relevant observations. Several suggestions for further experimental and theoretical studies are advanced.
