Reduction of the downward energy flux of non-thermal electrons in the solar flare corona due to co-spatial return current losses
Meriem Alaoui, Gordon D. Holman, Marc Swisdak
High energy electrons carry much of a solar flare's energy. Therefore, understanding changes in electron beam distributions during their propagation is crucial. A key focus of this…
Role of Suprathermal Runaway Electrons Returning to the Acceleration Region in Solar Flares
Meriem Alaoui, Gordon D. Holman, Joel C. Allred +1
During solar flares, a large flux of energetic electrons propagate from the tops of reconnecting magnetic flux tubes toward the lower atmosphere. Over the course of the electrons'…
Solar Flare Energy Partitioning and Transport -- the Gradual Phase (a Heliophysics 2050 White Paper)
Graham S. Kerr, Meriem Alaoui, Joel C. Allred +14
Solar flares are a fundamental component of solar eruptive events (SEEs; along with solar energetic particles, SEPs, and coronal mass ejections, CMEs). Flares are the first compone…
Solar Flare Energy Partitioning and Transport -- the Impulsive Phase (a Heliophysics 2050 White Paper)
Graham S. Kerr, Meriem Alaoui, Joel C. Allred +14
Solar flares are a fundamental component of solar eruptive events (SEEs; along with solar energetic particles, SEPs, and coronal mass ejections, CMEs). Flares are the first compone…
Modeling the Transport of Nonthermal Particles in Flares Using Fokker-Planck Kinetic Theory
Joel C. Allred, Meriem Alaoui, Adam F. Kowalski +1
We describe a new approach for modeling the transport of high energy particles accelerated during flares from the acceleration region in the solar corona until their eventual therm…
Understanding breaks in solar flares x-ray spectra: Evaluation of a co-spatial return-current model
Meriem Alaoui, Gordon Holman
Hard x-ray spectral breaks are explained in terms of a 1D model with a co-spatial return current. We study 19 flares observed by RHESSI (Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imag…
