Upward and downward catastrophes of coronal magnetic flux ropes in quadrupolar magnetic fields

Quanhao Zhang, Yuming Wang, Youqiu Hu +3

Coronal magnetic flux ropes are closely related to large-scale solar activities. Using a 2.5-dimensional time-dependent ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model in Cartesian coordinat…

Relative Effect of Inclinations for Moonlets in the Triple Asteroidal Systems

Yu Jiang, Hexi Baoyin, Yun Zhang

We present the analysis and computational results for the inclination relative effect of moonlets of triple asteroidal systems. Perturbations on moonlets due to the primarys non-sp…

Direct Observation of Two-Step Magnetic Reconnection in a Solar Flare

Tingyu Gou, Astrid M. Veronig, Ewan Dickson +2

We report observations of an eruptive X2.8 flare on 2013 May 13, which shows two distinct episodes of energy release in the impulsive phase. The first episode is characterized by t…

Ground-to-satellite quantum teleportation

Ji-Gang Ren, Ping Xu, Hai-Lin Yong +29

An arbitrary unknown quantum state cannot be precisely measured or perfectly replicated. However, quantum teleportation allows faithful transfer of unknown quantum states from one…

Satellite-to-ground quantum key distribution

Sheng-Kai Liao, Wen-Qi Cai, Wei-Yue Liu +31

Quantum key distribution (QKD) uses individual light quanta in quantum superposition states to guarantee unconditional communication security between distant parties. In practice,…

The causes of quasi-homologous CMEs

Lijuan Liu, Yuming Wang, Rui Liu +8

In this paper, we identified the magnetic source locations of 142 quasi- homologous (QH) coronal mass ejections (CMEs), of which 121 are from solar cycle (SC) 23 and 21 from SC 24.…

Thermodynamics of supra-arcade downflows in solar flares

Xin Chen, Rui Liu, Na Deng +1

Context. Supra-arcade downflows (SADs) have been frequently observed during the gradual phase of solar flares near the limb. In coronal emission lines sensitive to flaring plasmas,…

High-resolution observations of flare precursors in the low solar atmosphere

Haimin Wang, Chang Liu, Kwangsu Ahn +9

Solar flares are generally believed to be powered by free magnetic energy stored in the corona, but the build up of coronal energy alone may be insufficient for the imminent flare…

Influence of photospheric magnetic conditions on the catastrophic behaviors of flux ropes in active regions

Quanhao Zhang, Yuming Wang, Youqiu Hu +2

Since only the magnetic conditions at the photosphere can be routinely observed in current observations, it is of great significance to find out the influences of photospheric magn…
