Identification and classification of coherent flow structures in the plasma of the Sun’s photosphere

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

The Sun is a star with a cyclic magnetic activity that can impact all the solar system. Thus, the solar magnetic field can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, permitting the entrance of energetic particles in the upper atmosphere, affecting technological devices, telecommunications and human health.
