Tools

Here we present the tools created within the SOLER project. They are available from the general SERPENTINE-SOLER repository at GitHub, and can also be run on the SERPENTINE-SOLER Hub server without the need to install Python locally.

 

Multi-spacecraft longitudinal configuration plotter

Solar-MACH is a hassle-free web app that displays the spatial configuration and magnetic connection of the spacecraft fleet in the inner heliosphere for a given time. With the option to freely add a reference coordinate at the Sun (e.g., flare location) and providing detailed information on coordinates and separation angles, it allows a quick start of an event analysis. In addition, it features an easy implementation of an PFSS model to extend the magnetic connectivity to the photosphere and 3d-visualization options. 

In addition to the web version, a Jupyter Notebook is provided that is offering more functionalities and ways to interact with Solar-MACH in a “pythonic” way, like providing an example on how to create a movie out of daily Solar-MACH constellation plots.
