Fig. 7

Diagram defining a model of the flux rope axis with an elliptical shape. The legs are represented by straight and radial segments tangent to the ellipse and linking it to the Sun. ϕ is the angle of the cylindrical coordinates (ρ,ϕ). The point C is the ellipse center and M is the point of interest (where the spacecraft crosses the flux rope).
