MHD Modelling of magnetic reconnection heating and jets in the solar corona
P. Pagano, C. Argiroffi, F. Reale +3
Magnetic reconnection is seen as the lead mechanism to explain the persistent and bursty heating of the solar corona that keeps its thermal structure. Lately the observations and m…
Numerical simulations of waves and turbulence in coronal loops: observables and spectra
Fabio Feraco, Francesco Pucci, Claudio Meringolo +11
We investigate numerically the time evolution of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations in a coronal loop, focusing on the dynamics due to both phase mixing and turbulent cascade…
On the cool nature of coronal nanojets
Gabriele Cozzo, Paola Testa, Juan Martinez-Sykora +5
Reconnection-driven nanoflares are widely considered a leading mechanism for coronal-loop heating, but their direct fingerprints in the tenuous coronal plasma remain elusive. The r…
3D MHD simulations of coronal loops heated via magnetic braiding II. Automatic detection of reconnection outflows and statistical analysis of their properties
Gabriele Cozzo, Paola Testa, Juan Martinez-Sykora +5
Recent observations of fast and bursty ``nanojets'' suggest novel diagnostics of nanoflare heating in the solar corona. The aim of this work is to investigate the presence and prop…
3D MHD simulations of coronal loops heated via magnetic braiding I. Continuous driving
Gabriele Cozzo, Paola Testa, Juan Martinez-Sykora +13
The nature and detailed properties of the heating of the million-degree solar corona are important issues that are still largely unresolved. Nanoflare heating might be dominant in…
Coronal energy release by MHD avalanches III. Identification of a reconnection outflow from a nanoflare
G. Cozzo, P. Pagano, F. Reale +5
Outflows perpendicular to the guide field are believed to be a possible signature of magnetic reconnection in the solar corona and specifically a way to detect the occurrence of ub…
Coronal energy release by MHD avalanches II. EUV line emission from a multi-threaded coronal loop
G. Cozzo, J. Reid, P. Pagano +13
MHD kink instability can trigger the fragmentation of a twisted magnetic flux tube into small-scale current sheets that dissipate as aperiodic impulsive heating events. This instab…
Hydrogen Non-Equilibrium Ionisation Effects in Coronal Mass Ejections
P. Pagano, A. Bemporad, D. H. Mackay
A new generation of coronagraphs to study the solar wind and CMEs are being developed and launched. These coronagraphs will heavily rely on multi-channel observations where visible…
Contribution of observed multi frequency spectrum of Alfvén waves to coronal heating
Paolo Pagano, Ineke De Moortel
Whilst there are observational indications that transverse MHD waves carry enough energy to maintain the thermal structure of the solar corona, it is not clear whether such energy…
