scientist information:
- Dr. Philip Scherrer
Dr. Scherrer is a research professor and the PI of the MDI instrument
on the SOHO satellite. He is working with Stanford colleagues Xue Pu Zhao and Todd Hoeksema to provide
improved global field configurations as initial conditions for CME propagation models. They are
collaborating with Janet Luhmann and Steve Ledvina (UC Berkeley) to compare results from this model with those
from dynamic MHD models, and are also working with the Montana State and Hawaii teams to incorporate vector
magnetic field observations into the relevant models.
- Dr. Xue Pu Zhao
A senior research scientist at Stanford University, his research focuses on the development
and refinement of potential-like coronal magnetic field models. He is working with Phillip Scherrer and
Todd Hoeksema on the magnetic field configurations for CME models.
- Dr. Todd Hoeksema
Dr. Hoeksema is a senior research scientist at Stanford University. Dr. Hoeksema's research
interests include large-scale solar and coronal magnetic fields, solar velocity fields
and rotation, helioseismology, the physics of the Sun and the interplanetary medium, and
solar-terrestrial relations.
- Dr. Yang Liu
Dr. Liu is a research scientist at Stanford University. He is using force-free fields to study
the role of magnetic reconnection between small and large scale twisted flux rope structures
in the initiation of eruptive flares and CMEs.
