Thresholded Power Law Size Distributions of Instabilities in Astrophysics
Markus J. Aschwanden
Power law-like size distributions are ubiquitous in astrophysical instabilities. There are at least four natural effects that cause deviations from ideal power law size distributio…
Benchmark Test of Differential Emission Measure Codes and Multi-Thermal Energies in Solar Active Regions
M. J. Aschwanden, P. Boerner, A. Caspi +3
We compare the ability of 11 Differential Emission Measure (DEM) forward-fitting and inversion methods to constrain the properties of active regions and solar flares by simulating…
25 Years of Self-Organized Criticality: Numerical Detection Methods
R. T. James McAteer, Markus J. Aschwanden, Michaila Dimitropoulou +5
The detection and characterization of self-organized criticality (SOC), in both real and simulated data, has undergone many significant revisions over the past 25 years. The explos…
Blind Stereoscopy of the Coronal Magnetic Field
Markus J. Aschwanden, Carolus J. Schrijver, Anna Malanushenko
We test the feasibility of 3D coronal-loop tracing in stereoscopic EUV image pairs, with the ultimate goal of enabling efficient 3D reconstruction of the coronal magnetic field tha…
Magnetic Energy Dissipation during the 2014 March 29 Solar Flares
Markus J. Aschwanden
We calculated the time evolution of the free magnetic energy during the 2014-Mar-29 flare (SOL2014-03-29T17:48), the first X-class flare detected by IRIS. The free energy was calcu…
Global Energetics of Solar Flares: II. Thermal Energies
M. J. Aschwanden, P. Boerner, D. Ryan +3
We present the second part of a project on the global energetics of solar flares and CMEs that includes about 400 M- and X-class flares observed with AIA/SDO during the first 3.5 y…
