Multi-instrument Observations of the Development and Energetics of Active Region 13088 and its Impact on the Global-Scale Solar Coronal

Active Region 13088 first appeared early on 2022 August 24 and rapidly developed into a complex and highly energetic region, prodigiously producing eruptions from just after its formation until September 5. Fortuitously, the region’s emergence coincided with a GOES/Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) off-point campaign, a Parker Solar Probe (PSP) perihelion, and a favorable alignment of Solar Orbiter for multi-perspective studies. This rich set of observations provides a unique window into this region’s emergence and activity. These observations include both in-situ measurements from PSP, wide-field-of-view EUV observations from SUVI and Solar Orbiter’s Extreme Ultraviolet Imager, and 3D reconstructions using multi-perspective imaging and magnetohydrodynamic modeling.

Here, we report on the region’s remarkable and rapid development into one of the most energetic active regions of the past several decades. We discuss the influence of this region on global-scale coronal structure and discuss the dynamics the region generated – both impulsive eruptions and more gradual outflows. We discuss how multi-wavelength, multi-perspective observations can provide new understanding of the complex magnetic and energetic relationships that form between active regions and the corona on both local and global scales.
