Reconstruction of a Large-scale Pre-flare Coronal Current Sheet Associated with an Homologous X-shaped Flare

Chaowei Jiang, Xiaoli Yan, Xueshang Feng +4

As a fundamental magnetic structure in the solar corona, electric current sheets (CSs) can form either prior to or during solar flare, and they are essential for magnetic energy di…

Three-dimensional Features of the Outer Heliosphere Due to Coupling between the Interstellar and Heliospheric Magnetic Field. V. The Bow Wave, Heliospheric Boundary Layer, Instabilities, and Magnetic Reconnection

N. V. Pogorelov, J. Heerikhuisen, V. Roytershteyn +3

The heliosphere is formed due to interaction between the solar wind (SW) and local interstellar medium (LISM). The shape and position of the heliospheric boundary, the heliopause,…

Onset of a Large Ejective Solar Eruption from a Typical Coronal-Jet-Base Field Configuration

Navin Chandra Joshi, Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore +2

Utilizing multiwavelength observations and magnetic field data from SDO/AIA, SDO/HMI, GOES and RHESSI, we investigate a large-scale ejective solar eruption of 2014 December 18 from…

Magnetic Flux Cancelation as the Origin of Solar Quiet Region Pre-Jet Minifilaments

Navdeep K. Panesar, Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore

We investigate the origin of ten solar quiet region pre-jet minifilaments, using EUV images from SDO/AIA and magnetograms from SDO/HMI. We recently found panesar16b that quiet regi…

New Evidence that Magnetoconvection Drives Solar-Stellar Coronal Heating

Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Julia K. Thalmann, Navdeep K. Panesar +2

How magnetic energy is injected and released in the solar corona, keeping it heated to several million degrees, remains elusive. Coronal heating generally increases with increasing…

The Grad-Shafranov Reconstruction of Toroidal Magnetic Flux Ropes: Method Development and Benchmark Studies

Qiang Hu

We develop an approach of Grad-Shafranov (GS) reconstruction for toroidal structures in space plasmas, based on in-situ spacecraft measurements. The underlying theory is the GS equ…

Comparison of Two Coronal Magnetic Field Models for Reconstructing a Sigmoidal Solar Active Region With Coronal Loops

Aiying Duan, Chaowei Jiang, Qiang Hu +4

Magnetic field extrapolation is an important tool to study the three-dimensional (3D) solar coronal magnetic field which is difficult to directly measure. Various analytic models a…

A Magnetic Bald-Patch Flare in Solar Active Region 11117

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

With SDO observations and a data-constrained MHD model, we identify a confined multi-ribbon flare occurred on 2010 October 25 in solar active region 11117 as a magnetic bald patch…

Observing the Sun with the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA): Fast-Scan Single-Dish Mapping

S. M. White, K. Iwai, N. M. Phillips +31

The Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array (ALMA) radio telescope has commenced science observations of the Sun starting in late 2016. Since the Sun is much larger than the f…

Small-scale filament eruptions as the driver of solar coronal hole X-ray jets

Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore, David A. Falconer +1

Solar X-ray jets are evidently made by a burst of reconnection of closed magnetic field in a jet's base with ambient "open" field (1,2). In the widely-accepted version of the "emer…

Solar Active Region Coronal Jets II: Triggering and Evolution of Violent Jets

Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore, David A. Falconer +2

We study a series of X-ray-bright, rapidly-evolving active-region coronal jets outside the leading sunspot of AR 12259, using Hinode/XRT, SDO/AIA and HMI, and IRIS data. The detail…

Discovery of Scattering Polarization in the Hydrogen Lyman- Line of the Solar Disk Radiation

R. Kano, J. Trujillo Bueno, A. Winebarger +25

There is a thin transition region (TR) in the solar atmosphere where the temperature rises from 10,000 K in the chromosphere to millions of degrees in the corona. Little is known a…

Interchange reconnection associated with a confined filament eruption: Implications for the source of transient cold-dense plasma in solar winds

Ruisheng Zheng, Yao Chen, Bing Wang +1

The cold-dense plasma is occasionally detected in the solar wind with in situ data, but the source of the cold-dense plasma remains illusive. Interchange reconnections (IRs) betwee…
