“…Under such an interpretation, it is natural that the observed structure of the solar corona during the total solar eclipse of 11 July 1991 (near the maximum of solar cycle 22) looks like a minimal corona rotated with respect to the solar equator (Gulyaev, 1992;Sýkora et al, 1999Sýkora et al, , 2003. It is significant that the shape and structure of the solar corona modeled in the potential-field approach or using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations (Altschuler and Newkirk, 1969;Riley, Linker, and Mikić, 2001;Sýkora, Badalyan, and Obridko, 2003;Wang et al, 2007;Pishkalo, 2010a;Rušin et al, 2010) are generally consistent with the observed ones for most of the total solar eclipses.…”
