;************************************************************************ The beginnings of an implementation of the Low-Hundhausen Cartesian flux rope model. ; ; REFERENCE: Low, B. C. and Hundhausen, J. R., ApJL, 443, 818, 1995 At the moment, the prominence current sheet (Aprom) is not included. And Adip is forced to zero. Thus this is the solution describe in Section 3.2.4 of Low&Hundhausen (1995), and as shown in Figure 10 (except without the prominence). Observable properties such as cavity radius, height, external vertical field, external density at the photosphere and the ratio of density at the flux rope axis to surrounding hydrostatic density (same height) fully constrain model parameters. Eventually, allowing Adip and eventually Aprom to vary may give some freedom in flux rope twist profile, for example, and possibly also cavity depletion profile. NOTE -- the temperature profile is increasing with height in this model, which is maybe ok for low coronal (below temperature maximum). However, we have a flag "isothermal" which allows fixing a temperature above the bubble (fixed to value at z=ro), which is useful for the LOS integrated quantities. If isothermal is set to a value, then the temperature is fixed everywhere (including below the bubble top) to that value. SEE FURTHER NOTES ON ISOTHERMAL AND HYDRO BELOW NOTE -- the model is 2D Cartesian -- it is fit into the spherical coordinates of the FORWARD codes by assuming invariance in Phi. This introduces an error in the magnetic force balance, and there is also an error in the graviational description which is gz. Both should be minimal for small-radius flux rope positioned close to photosphere. BUT THIS IS WHY WE HAVE OPTIONS FOR RADIAL HYDROSTATIC FALLOFF BELOW ;************************************************************************ ; ; ;;Keyword Inputs: ; ; ; WARNING: Following the model convention, X and Z are in the plane of the sky ; and Y is out of the page.
