Formation of current sheets and sigmoidal structure by the kink instability of a magnetic loop
B. Kliem, V. S. Titov, T. Toeroek
We study dynamical consequences of the kink instability of a twisted coronal flux rope, using the force-free coronal loop model by Titov & Démoulin (1999) as the initial condition…

Ideal kink instability of a magnetic loop equilibrium
T. Toeroek, B. Kliem, V. S. Titov
The force-free coronal loop model by Titov & Démoulin (1999} is found to be unstable with respect to the ideal kink mode, which suggests this instability as a mechanism for the ini…
