Terrorism: Mechanisms of Radicalization Processes, Control of Contagion and Counter-Terrorist Measures

Alhaji Cherif, Hirotoshi Yoshioka, Wei Ni +1

The spread of radical ideologies is a key to fanaticism, recruitment and terrorist activities. Hence, preventing such activities requires predictive models capable of identifying a…

On-disk counterparts of type II spicules in the Ca II 854.2 nm and Halpha lines

L. Rouppe van der Voort, J. Leenaarts, B. de Pontieu +2

Recently a second type of spicules was discovered at the solar limb with the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) onboard the Japanese Hinode spacecraft. These previously unrecognized typ…

Stereoscopic Polar Plume Reconstructions from Stereo/Secchi Images

L. Feng, B. Inhester, S. K. Solanki +7

We present stereoscopic reconstructions of the location and inclination of polar plumes of two data sets based on the two simultaneously recorded images taken by the EUVI telescope…

4D Modeling of CME expansion and EUV dimming observed with STEREO/EUVI

Markus J. Aschwanden

This is the first attempt to model the kinematics of a CME launch and the resulting EUV dimming quantitatively with a self-consistent model. Our 4D-model assumes self-similar expan…

On the propagation of p-modes into the solar chromosphere

A. G. de Wijn, S. W. McIntosh, B. De Pontieu

We employ tomographic observations of a small region of plage to study the propagation of waves from the solar photosphere to the chromosphere using a Fourier phase-difference anal…

Estimating the Chromospheric Absorption of Transition Region Moss Emission

Bart De Pontieu, Viggo H. Hansteen, Scott W. McIntosh +1

Many models for coronal loops have difficulty explaining the observed EUV brightness of the transition region, which is often significantly less than theoretical models predict. Th…

Spicule-like structures observed in 3D realistic MHD simulations

J. Martinez-Sykora, V. Hansteen, B. De Pontieu +1

We analyze features that resemble type i spicules in two different 3D numerical simulations in which we include horizontal magnetic flux emergence in a computational domain spannin…

Explosive events associated with a surge

M. S. Madjarska, J. G. Doyle, B. de Pontieu

The solar atmosphere contains a wide variety of small-scale transient features. Here, we explore the inter-relation between some of them such as surges, explosive events and blinke…

Coronal radiation belts

H. S. Hudson, A. L. MacKinnon, S. F. N. Frewen +1

The magnetic field of the solar corona has a large-scale dipole character, which maps into the bipolar field in the solar wind. Using standard representations of the coronal field,…

On a transition from solar-like coronae to rotation-dominated jovian-like magnetospheres in ultracool main-sequence stars

C. J. Schrijver

For main-sequence stars beyond spectral type M5 the characteristics of magnetic activity common to warmer solar-like stars change into the brown-dwarf domain: the surface magnetic…
