Coronal Magnetic Field Tools and Models IV: Topology
Leader: Y. Liu
This session will focus on determination of topology structure in solar active regions. Recent studies show that topology structure can effectively classify active regions and pinpoint locations where magnetic reconnection occurs that leads to occurrence of solar eruption. Many techniques have been reported to be able to determine topology using observational data, and some of them shows potential to be robust and automatic. In this session, we will first describe several promising techniques. We will then discuss the tools to effectively present the topology result in a way that people can easily understand. Next we will discuss any possibilities for putting this structure into the pipeline as a product. We will also discuss matrix for validation of the results. We end up with a discussion whether or not we need a working group on this topic, and what the plan will be if we want to have one.
