Predicting the Sun's Polar Magnetic Fields with a Surface Flux Transport Model

Lisa Upton, David H. Hathaway

The Sun's polar magnetic fields are directly related to solar cycle variability. The strength of the polar fields at the start (minimum) of a cycle determine the subsequent amplitu…

Formation and Eruption of an Active Region Sigmoid: I. Study by Nonlinear Force-Free Field Modeling

Chaowei Jiang, S. T. Wu, Xueshang Feng +1

We present a magnetic analysis of the formation and eruption of an active region (AR) sigmoid in AR 11283 from 2011 September 4 to 6. To follow the quasi-static evolution of the co…

Characteristic Length of Energy-Containing Structures at the Base of a Coronal Hole

V. I. Abramenko, G. P. Zank, A. Dosch +4

An essential parameter for models of coronal heating and fast solar wind acceleration that rely on the dissipation of MHD turbulence is the characteristic energy-containing length…

A Study of Fast Flareless Coronal Mass Ejections

H. Q. Song, Y. Chen, D. D. Ye +5

Two major processes have been proposed to convert the coronal magnetic energy into the kinetic energy of a coronal mass ejection (CME): resistive magnetic reconnection and ideal ma…

Anti-parallel EUV flows observed along active region filament threads with Hi-C

Caroline E. Alexander, Robert W. Walsh, Stephane Regnier +12

Plasma flows within prominences/filaments have been observed for many years and hold valuable clues concerning the mass and energy balance within these structures. Previous observa…

Structure of solar coronal loops: from miniature to large-scale

H. Peter, S. Bingert, J. A. Klimchuk +6

We will use new data from the High-resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C) with unprecedented spatial resolution of the solar corona to investigate the structure of coronal loops down to…

MHD Simulation of a Sigmoid Eruption of Active Region 11283

Chaowei Jiang, Xueshang Feng, S. T. Wu +1

Current magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the initiation of solar eruptions are still commonly carried out with idealized magnetic field models, whereas the realistic corona…

Observation of flux tube crossings in the solar wind

L. Arnold, G. Li, X. Li +1

Current sheets are ubiquitous in the solar wind.They are a major source of the solar wind MHD turbulence intermittency. They may result from non-linear interactions of the solar wi…

On the spectral hardening at ~> 300 keV in solar flares

Gang. Li, XiangLiang Kong, Gary Zank +1

It has been noted for a long time that the spectra of observed continuum emissions in many solar flares are consistent with double power laws with a hardening at energies …

Diagnostics on the source properties of type II radio burst with spectral bumps

S. W. Feng, Y. Chen, X. L. Kong +4

In recent studies (Feng et al., 2012; Kong et al., 2012), we proposed that source properties of type II radio bursts can be inferred through a causal relationship between the speci…
