Alfvén wave propagation, reflection and trapping in the solar wind

Anmol Kumar, Thomas A. Howson, Paolo Pagano +1

Alfvén waves are known to be important carriers of magnetic energy that could play a role in coronal heating and/or solar wind acceleration. As these waves are efficient energy car…

How numerical treatments of the transition region modify energy flux into the solar corona

Thomas Howson, Cosima Breu

The large temperature gradients in the solar transition region present a significant challenge to large scale numerical modelling of the Sun's atmosphere. In response, a variety of…

The effects of driving time scales on coronal heating in a stratified atmosphere

Thomas Howson, Ineke De Moortel

Aims: We investigate the atmospheric response to coronal heating driven by random flows with different characteristic time scales and amplitudes. Methods: We conducted a series of…

Forward modelling of heating within a coronal arcade

Lianne Fyfe, Thomas Howson, Ineke De Moortel

Aims. We investigate the synthetic observational signatures from numerical models of coronal heating in an arcade to determine what features are associated with such heating, and w…

Investigating coronal wave energy estimates using synthetic non-thermal line widths

Lianne Fyfe, Thomas Howson, Ineke De Moortel +2

Aims. Estimates of coronal wave energy remain uncertain as a large fraction of the energy is likely hidden in the non-thermal line widths of emission lines. In order to estimate th…

Magnetic reconnection and the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the solar corona

Thomas Howson, Ineke De Moortel, David Pontin

Context. The magnetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) has been proposed as a means of generating magnetohy- drodynamic turbulence and encouraging wave energy dissipation in the…
