The Sun's corona (upper atmosphere) contains low-density plasma and magnetic fields, which are difficult to measure. Yang et al. map the coronal magnetic field for eight months; it varies as the #Sun rotates and connects to active regions on the surface.

Researchers in Science demonstrate a method to regularly measure the Sun's global coronal magnetic field, implementing it roughly every other day for a period of 8 months.

1st-year graduate student Xianyu Liu from @umclasp and other students from the CoronaCast team lead the solar corona forecast for the April 8th Total Solar Eclipse using SWMF/AWSoM models: https://t.co/3NuZkSaMrO Really beautiful and promising work done by students!
@swmcintosh@rjmorton_solar@leamonrj Hi Scott, my feeling is that UCoMP Doppler observations really improved a lot so it could be more consistent than what CoMP can do
@rjmorton_solar@swmcintosh@leamonrj It would be interesting to see this using UCoMP wave observations. I am doing coronal seismology for more UCoMP data (~6 months in 2022) to see some possible evolution of coronal magnetic field but it might still be too short compared to solar cycle
Protests have broken out in several major cities in China over President Xi Jinping's zero-tolerance approach to Covid-19, a highly unusual show of defiance https://t.co/seRvM3kDiP
This week we’re at the @NatSolarObs / @HAOSunEarthLab Spectropolarimetry Workshop. Some polarising discussion from the day already, and two weeks of fun science ahead! ☀️
We have LIFTOFF of the @NASAWebb Space Telescope!
At 7:20am ET (12:20 UTC), the beginning of a new, exciting decade of science climbed to the sky. Webb’s mission to #UnfoldTheUniverse will change our understanding of space as we know it.
A great honor to share our work on #ESPM16😋Very happy to be one of the winners and congratulations to all the winners! My presentation is based on this work if anyone is interested https://t.co/96iEPrao2l
@swmcintosh@halocme@HAOSunEarthLab This is really cool! I suppose there will be a commissioning phase for UCoMP before the regular science observations?
Global maps of the magnetic field in the solar corona | Science - congratulations everyone, including Giulio Del Zanna, DAMTP @FacultyMaths https://t.co/gs8YS6VrjG
Using Alfvènic waves we were able to derive the first coronal ‘magnetogram’. Proud to be part of the team (including @zihao_yang96@swmcintosh) that delivered this work and looking forward to developing it further #CoMP#COMSO
An international team of solar physicists including researchers from PKU, Prof. Tian Hui and Yang Zihao and team from PKU School of Earth and Space Science have measured the global distribution of the coronal magnetic field for the first time. (1/2)
