Investigation of Force-Freeness of Solar Emerging Magnetic Field via Application of the Virial Theorem to MHD Simulations

Force-freeness of a solar magnetic field is a key to reconstructing the invisible coronal magnetic structure of an emerging flux region on the Sun where active phenomena such as flares and coronal mass ejections frequently occur. We have performed magnetohydrodynamic simulations which are adjusted to investigate force-freeness of an emerging magnetic field by using the virial theorem. Our focus is...
