Coronal Partings [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01423


The basic observational properties of the ‘coronal partings’–the special type of the coronal magnetic structures, identified by a comparison of the coronal X-ray images and solar magnetograms–are considered. They represent channels inside the unipolar large-scale magnetic fields, formed by the rows of magnetic arcs directed to the neighboring fields of opposite polarity. The most important characteristics of the partings are revealed. It is found that–from the evolutionary and spatial point of view–the partings can transform to the coronal holes and visa versa. The classes of global, intersecting, and complex partings are identified.
