The Most Important Origin of Twist and Tilt of Magnetic Fields in Solar Active Regions

  • L. Tian (a1), H. Zhang (a2) and S. Bao (a2)
Abstract

In this paper, we show observed properties of tilt and twist of bipolar active regions magnetic fields, using magnetograph data at Huairou, Beijing Astronomical Observatory. We deduce that origin of the twist of magnetic fields is same as that of tilt of bipolar magnetic fields. In another word, they are primarily produced by Coriolis force acting on a rising flux tube through convection zone.
