Observational Signatures of Simulated Reconnection Events in the Solar Chromosphere and Transition Region
arXiv:0902.0977 · doi:10.1088/0004-637X/702/1/1
Abstract
We present the results of numerical simulations of wave-induced magnetic reconnection in a model of the solar atmosphere. In the magnetic field geometry we study in this article, the waves, driven by a monochromatic piston and a driver taken from Hinode observations, induce periodic reconnection of the magnetic field, and this reconnection appears to help drive long-period chromospheric jets. By synthesizing observations for a variety of wavelengths that are sensitive to a wide range of temperatures, we shed light on the often confusing relationship between the plethora of jet-like phenomena in the solar atmosphere, e.g., explosive events, spicules, blinkers, and other phenomena thought to be caused by reconnection.
