Simulating the photospheric to coronal plasma using magnetohydrodynamic characteristics III: validation including gravity, flux emergence, and an eruption
Lucas A. Tarr, N. Dylan Kee, James E. Leake +2
Solar eruptions arise from instabilities or loss of equilibria in the solar atmosphere, but routinely inferring the precise magnetic and plasma properties that lead to eruptions is…
Direct calculation of steady-state hydrodynamic solar wind solutions with newtonian viscosity
Roger B. Scott, Stephen J. Bradshaw, Mark G. Linton +2
Steady-state solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations are known to admit solutions that are singular at the sonic point. Consequently, inviscid solar wind models require special tr…
Filament Mass Losses Forced by Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Corona
Craig D. Johnston, Lars K. S. Daldorff, Peter W. Schuck +4
Recent observations of the solar atmosphere in cool extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lines have reported the prevalence of coronal rain falling from coronal cloud filaments that are assoc…
Simulating the photospheric to coronal plasma using magnetohydrodyanamic characteristics II: reflections on non-reflecting boundary conditions
N. Dylan Kee, Lucas A. Tarr, Peter W. Schuck +2
We present our implementation of non-reflecting boundary conditions in the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code LaRe3D. This implementation couples a characteristics-based boundary cond…
Simulation of Thermal Nonequilibrium Cycles in the Solar Wind
Roger B. Scott, Jeffrey W. Reep, Mark G. Linton +1
Thermal nonequilibrium (TNE) is a condition of the plasma in the solar corona in which the local rate of energy loss due to radiation increases to the point that it cannot be susta…
A Study on the Nested Rings CME Structure Observed by the WISPR Imager Onboard Parker Solar Probe
Shaheda Begum Shaik, Mark G. Linton, Sarah E. Gibson +5
Despite the significance of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in space weather, a comprehensive understanding of their interior morphology remains a scientific challenge, particularly…
A Detailed Analysis of a Magnetic Island Observed by WISPR on Parker Solar Probe
Madison L. Ascione, Angel J. Gutarra-Leon, Shaheda Begum Shaik +4
We present the identification and physical analysis of a possible magnetic island feature seen in white-light images observed by the Wide-field Imager for Solar Probe (WISPR) on bo…
Assessing the Performance of the ADAPT and AFT Flux Transport Models Using In-Situ Measurements From Multiple Satellites
Kalman J. Knizhnik, Micah J. Weberg, Elena Provornikova +7
The launches of Parker Solar Probe (Parker) and Solar Orbiter (SolO) are enabling a new era of solar wind studies that track the solar wind from its origin at the photosphere, thro…
Solar Eruptions Triggered by Flux Emergence Below or Near a Coronal Flux Rope
T. Török, M. G. Linton, J. E. Leake +4
Observations have shown a clear association of filament/prominence eruptions with the emergence of magnetic flux in or near filament channels. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations…
Simulating the photospheric to coronal plasma using magnetohydrodyanamic characteristics I: data-driven boundary conditions
Lucas A. Tarr, N. Dylan Kee, Mark G. Linton +2
We develop a general description of how information propagates through a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system based on the method of characteristics and use that to formulate numerical…
Deflection of Coronal Mass Ejections in Unipolar Ambient Magnetic Fields
Michal Ben-Nun, Tibor Török, Erika Palmerio +5
The trajectories of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are often seen to substantially deviate from a purely radial propagation direction. Such deviations occur predominantly in the cor…
Disentangling the Entangled Linkages of Relative Magnetic Helicity
Peter W. Schuck, Mark G. Linton
Magnetic helicity, , measures magnetic linkages in a volume. The early theoretical development of helicity focused on magnetically closed systems in bounded by $\m…
Photospheric Imprints of Coronal Electric Currents, I. Magnetic Structure Near Polarity Inversion Lines
Brian T. Welsch, Peter W. Schuck, Mark G. Linton
Flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are powered by magnetic energy stored in coronal electric currents. Here, we use photospheric vector magnetic field observations to study c…
Analysis of the Helical Kink Stability of Differently Twisted Magnetic Flux Ropes
Marta Florido-Llinas, Teresa Nieves-Chinchilla, Mark G. Linton
Magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) are usually considered to be the magnetic structure that dominates the transport of helicity from the Sun into the heliosphere. They entrain a confined p…
The Role of Twist in Kinked Flux Rope Emergence and Delta-Spot Formation
Kalman J. Knizhnik, Mark G. Linton, C. Richard DeVore
It has been observationally well established that the magnetic configurations most favorable for producing energetic flaring events reside in delta-spots, a class of sunspots defin…
Magnetic Flux Emergence and Decay Rates for Preceder and Follower Sunspots Observed with HMI
A. A. Norton, E. H. Jones, M. G. Linton +1
We quantify the emergence and decay rates of preceder (p) and follower (f) sunspots within ten active regions from 2010-2014 using Space-weather Helioseismic Magnetic Imager Active…
Modeling Jets in the Corona and Solar Wind
T. Torok, R. Lionello, V. S. Titov +4
Coronal jets are transient, collimated eruptions that occur in regions of predominantly open magnetic field in the solar corona. Our understanding of these events has greatly evolv…
The Evolution of Writhe in Kink-Unstable Flux Ropes and Erupting Filaments
Tibor Torok, Bernhard Kliem, Mitchell A. Berger +3
The helical kink instability of a twisted magnetic flux tube has been suggested as a trigger mechanism for solar filament eruptions and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In order to i…
