Three-dimensional mapping of coronal magnetic field and plasma parameters in a solar flare

The study presents reconstructed 3D maps of the magnetic field strength, Alfvén speed, and plasma beta in a solar flare volume based on imaging microwave spectroscopy and stereoscopic soft X-ray data. They reveal a magnetically dominated environment. This diagnostic provides important constraints for modeling magnetic reconnection, which drives flare dynamics, and represents a step toward a realistic 3D characterization of energy release in solar energetic phenomena.
