Probing the Magnetic Field Structure of Coronal Mass Ejections with Faraday Rotation
Observation of Faraday rotation (FR) is the most promising candidate to provide remote-sensing measurements of CME magnetic fields. FR methods have finally matured to the point where they can be used to return the strength and, most importantly, the orientation of CMEs shortly after eruption. We discuss how to continue progressing towards using FR for space weather monitoring and forecasting.
