Solar wind connectivity for CR 2256 with the nested active region from Fig. 2. Panel a: Photospheric magnetic field with the HCS (in red) and a box highlighting the area of interest. Panel b: Dipole component of the photospheric magnetic field from the spherical harmonic decomposition, along with the location of the dipole axis and strong field regions from panel a in magenta. Panel c: Variation in source location when back-mapping through PFSS models between five magnetograms spanning from two CRs before to two CRs after CR 2256. Panel d: All the solar wind sources during the five consecutive CRs (in grey) and persistent source regions across all CRs (in black).
