MAFIAT: Magnetic field analysis tools

The magnetic twist is one of the key defining parameters solar flux ropes (FRs). routine computation winding field lines, referred to as twist, has potential lead significant advancement in physics and solar—terrestrial research, e.g., by enabling more accurate investigations FR morphology, stability, temporal evolution. However, this been hampered axial-dependence solution availability simpler, albeit approximate, methods. Here we introduce Magnetic Field Analysis Tools (MAFIAT) python library Jupyter notebooks for exploitation quantity. required axis location specified manually user, either with their own preferred method, or using number calculated from parallel current Tools. allow users create a variety novel visualisations FRs distributions scientific study. written Python released under BSD 3-Clause Licence.
