In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include flaring s…
Evolution of A Magnetic Flux Rope toward Eruption
Wensi Wang, Chunming Zhu, Jiong Qiu +3
It is well accepted that a magnetic flux rope (MFR) is a critical component of many coronal mass ejections (CMEs), yet how it evolves toward eruption remains unclear. Here we inves…
The Impact of Radio AGN Bubble Composition on the Dynamics and Thermal Balance of the Intracluster Medium
H. -Y. K. Yang, M. Gaspari, C. Marlow
Feeding and feedback of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are critical for understanding the dynamics and thermodynamics of the intracluster medium (ICM) within the cores of galaxy clus…
Evidence of Twisting and Mixed-polarity Solar Photospheric Magnetic Field in Large Penumbral Jets: IRIS and Hinode Observations
Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Ronald L. Moore, Bart De Pontieu +4
A recent study using {\it Hinode} (SOT/FG) data of a sunspot revealed some unusually large penumbral jets that often repeatedly occurred at the same locations in the penumbra, name…
To be or not to be: hot WHIM absorption in the blazar PKS 2155-304 sight line?
J. Nevalainen, E. Tempel, J. Ahoranta +8
The cosmological missing baryons at z<1 most likely hide in the hot (T K) phase of the Warm Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM). While the hot WHIM is hard to detect d…
A Two-Sided-Loop X-Ray Solar Coronal Jet Driven by a Minifilament Eruption
Alphonse C. Sterling, Louise K. Harra, Ronald L. Moore +1
Most of the commonly discussed solar coronal jets are of the type consisting of a single spire extending approximately vertically from near the solar surface into the corona. Recen…
IRIS and SDO Observations of Solar Jetlets Resulting from Network-Edge Flux Cancelation
Navdeep K. Panesar, Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore +3
Recent observations show that the buildup and triggering of minifilament eruptions that drive coronal jets result from magnetic flux cancelation at the neutral line between merging…
Spectacular HST observations of the Coma galaxy D100 and star formation in its ram pressure stripped tail
William J. Cramer, Jeffrey D. P. Kenney, Ming Sun +5
We present new HST F275W, F475W, and F814W imaging of the region of the Coma cluster around D100, a spiral galaxy with a remarkably long and narrow ( kpc) ram pressu…
Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation of the X9.3 Flare on 2017 September 6: Evolving Magnetic Topology
Chaowei Jiang, Peng Zou, Xueshang Feng +7
Three-dimensional magnetic topology is crucial to understanding the explosive release of magnetic energy in the corona during solar flares. Much attention has been given to the pre…
Probing the dynamical state, baryon content, and multiphase nature of galaxy clusters with bright background QSOs
Chong Ge, Q. Daniel Wang, Joseph N. Burchett +5
We have initiated a programme to study the physical/dynamical state of gas in galaxy clusters and the impact of the cluster environment on gaseous halos of individual galaxies usin…
Probability models of chance fluctuations in spectra of astronomical sources with applications to X-ray absorption lines
Massimiliano Bonamente
The search for faint emission or absorption lines in astronomical spectra has received considerable attention in recent years, especially in the X-ray wavelength range. These featu…
Modeling Inner Boundary Values at 18 Solar Radii During Solar Quiet time for Global Three-dimensional Time-Dependent Magnetohydrodynamic Numerical Simulation
Chin-Chun Wu, Kan Liou, Simon Plunkett +6
The solar wind speed plays a key role in the transport of CME out of the Sun and ultimately determines the arrival time of CME-driven shocks in the heliosphere. Here, we develop an…
Automated detection of small-scale magnetic flux ropes in the solar wind: First results from the Wind spacecraft measurements
Qiang Hu, Jinlei Zheng, Yu Chen +2
We have developed a new automated small-scale magnetic flux rope (SSMFR) detection algorithm based on the Grad-Shafranov (GS) reconstruction technique. We have applied this detecti…
A Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Ionised Gas Emission (VESTIGE).V. Properties of the ionised gas filament of M87
A. Boselli, M. Fossati, A. Longobardi +22
We have observed the giant elliptical galaxy M87 during the Virgo Environmental Survey Tracing Galaxy Evolution (VESTIGE), a blind narrow-band Halpha+[NII] imaging survey of the Vi…
Boltzmann-Fokker-Planck Kinetic Solver with Adaptive Mesh in Phase Space
Vladimir Kolobov, Robert Arslanbekov, Dmitry Levko
We describe the implementation of kinetic solvers in 1d2v phase space using adaptive Cartesian mesh. Spherical coordinates in velocity space are used to simplify the Lorentz and Fo…
A Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Search for Electromagnetic Signals Coincident with Gravitational-Wave Candidates in Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
ray Burst Monitor Team, The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration +1160
We present a search for prompt gamma-ray counterparts to compact binary coalescence gravitational wave (GW) candidates from Advanced LIGO's first observing run (O1). As demonstrate…
Performance of a simple proxy for U.S. cloud-to-ground lightning
Michael K. Tippett, Chiara Lepore, William J. Koshak +2
