Helicity loading and dissipation: The helicity budget of ar 7978 from the cradle to the grave
Through a multi-wavelength and multi-instrument analysis we evaluate the magnetic helicity budget of an isolated active region (NOAA 7978) from its emergence throughout its decay. Using Yohkoh/ SXT images and linear force-free magnetic extrapolations carried out on SOHO/MDI magnetograms, we compute...

Through a multi-wavelength and multi-instrument analysis we evaluate the magnetic helicity budget of an isolated active region (NOAA 7978) from its emergence throughout its decay.

Based on the observed magnetic field distribution we calculate the magnetic helicity injected by differential rotation.
