Observations of Twist, Current Helicity, and Writhe in the Magnetic Knots of δ-sunspots Consistent with the Kink Instability of a Highly Twisted Flux Rope
We measure current helicity ( H _r ^c ) as well as proxies for twist ( α _r ) and writhe ( W ) in the isolated magnetic knots of three delta ( δ )-sunspots and report that the observations are consistent with a kink instability acting on a highly twisted flux tube. δ -spots are active regions (ARs)...
