ELISITY is a research project funded by the European Union through Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) - Individual Fellowships. It was realized at the University of Ioannina (UoI) in Greece between March 2021 and February 2023.
ELISITY is interested in the study of the Sun and the eruptive behaviour it often shows. The main driver of solar activity is the magnetic field of the Sun. A physical quantity that desribes the complexity of a magnetic field is (magnetic) helicity, and for this reason, helicity has been employed in many solar studies. A way of visualizing the important locations of helicity in a volume, or on a surface, is with field line helicity (FLH), a proxy for helicity density. The main objectives of ELISITY are: a) to study the relation of field line helicity with solar eruptivity, and b) to examine the possibility of using FLH as a predictor for solar activity.
The webpage of ELISITY displays a brief introduction to the research project, the members of the team, the scientific results of the project, and all dissemination activities, conference presentations and outreach activities. More ways to communicate with ELISITY and its members are also available.
