Recent Advances in Understanding Particle Acceleration Processes in Solar Flares

Valentina V. Zharkova, Karpar Arzner, Arnold O. Benz +11

We review basic theoretical concepts in particle acceleration, with particular emphasis on processes likely to occur in regions of magnetic reconnection. Several new developments a…

Solar Flares and the Chromosphere

L. Fletcher, R. Turkmani, H. S. Hudson +4

A white paper prepared for the Space Studies Board, National Academy of Sciences (USA), for its Decadal Survey of Solar and Space Physics (Heliophysics), reviewing and encouraging…

Electrons re-acceleration at the footpoints of Solar Flares

Rim Turkmani, John Brown

Hinode's observations revealed a very dynamic and complex chromosphere. This require revisiting the assumption that the chromospheric footpoints of solar flares are areas where acc…

Local re-acceleration and a modified thick target model of solar flare electrons

J. C. Brown, R. Turkmani, E. P. Kontar +2

The collisional thick target model (CTTM) of solar hard X-ray (HXR) bursts has become an almost 'Standard Model' of flare impulsive phase energy transport and radiation. However, i…

Propagation of non-linear circularly polarised Alfven waves in a homogeneous medium

Rim Turkmani, Ulf Torkelsson

We study the evolution of non-linear circularly polarised Alfven waves by solving numerically the time-dependent equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in one dimension. We examin…

Dissipation of non-linear circularly polarized Alfven waves

R. Turkmani, U. Torkelsson

We study propagating Alfven waves by solving the time-dependent equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in one dimension numerically. In a homogeneous medium the circularly polariz…
