SO/PHI-FDT observations of the Sun’s far side on 18 November 2020 during Solar Orbiter’s cruise phase. Panel a: line-of-sight magnetic field, B_los. Panel b: corrected B_los after removing the large-scale systematics by fitting a low-order polynomial (see Sect. 2.1). Panel c: continuum intensity, I. In each panel, the black dashed curve marks the solar equator and the orange dash curves highlight the latitude bands 25° ≤λ ≤ 40° in the north and −30° ≤λ ≤ −15° in the south.
