Magnetic reconnection between loops accelerated by a nearby filament eruption
Leping Li, Hardi Peter, Lakshmi Pradeep Chitta +3
Magnetic reconnection modulated by non-local disturbances in the solar atmosphere has been investigated theoretically, but rarely observed. In this study, employing Ha and extreme…
Relation of coronal rain originating from coronal condensations to interchange magnetic reconnection
Leping Li, Hardi Peter, Lakshmi Pradeep Chitta +1
Using extreme-ultraviolet images, we recently proposed a new and alternative formation mechanism for coronal rain along magnetically open field lines due to interchange magnetic re…
Impulsive coronal heating during the interaction of surface magnetic fields in the lower solar atmosphere
L. P. Chitta, H. Peter, E. R. Priest +1
Coronal plasma in the cores of solar active regions is impulsively heated to more than 5 MK. The nature and location of the magnetic energy source responsible for such impulsive he…
The Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action
I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182
Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…
Non-thermal line broadening due to braiding-induced turbulence in solar coronal loops
D. I. Pontin, H. Peter, L. P. Chitta
Aims: Emission line profiles from solar coronal loops exhibit properties that are unexplained by current models. We investigate the non-thermal broadening associated with plasma he…
Onset of turbulent fast magnetic reconnection observed in the solar atmosphere
L. P. Chitta, A. Lazarian
Fast magnetic reconnection powers explosive events throughout the universe, from gamma-ray bursts to solar flares. Despite its importance, the onset of astrophysical fast reconnect…
A Cancellation Nanoflare Model for Solar Chromospheric and Coronal Heating III. 3D Simulations and Atmospheric Response
P. Syntelis, E. R. Priest
Inspired by recent observations suggesting that photospheric magnetic flux cancellation occurs much more frequently than previously thought, we analytically estimated the energy re…
