STEREO/SECCHI Stereoscopic Observations Constraining the Initiation of Polar Coronal Jets
S. Patsourakos, E. Pariat, A. Vourlidas +2
We report on the first stereoscopic observations of polar coronal jets made by the EUVI/SECCHI imagers on board the twin STEREO spacecraft. The significantly separated viewpoints (…
A Mechanism for Coronal Hole Jets
D. A. N. Mueller, S. K. Antiochos
Bald patches are magnetic topologies in which the magnetic field is concave up over part of a photospheric polarity inversion line. A bald patch topology is believed to be the esse…
Structure and Dynamics of the Sun's Open Magnetic Field
S. K. Antiochos, C. R. DeVore, J. T. Karpen +1
The solar magnetic field is the primary agent that drives solar activity and couples the Sun to the Heliosphere. Although the details of this coupling depend on the quantitative pr…
Magnetic Flux Tube Reconnection: Tunneling Versus Slingshot
M. G. Linton, S. K. Antiochos
The discrete nature of the solar magnetic field as it emerges into the corona through the photosphere indicates that it exists as isolated flux tubes in the convection zone, and wi…
The Role of Helicity in Magnetic Reconnection: 3D Numerical Simulations
Spiro K. Antiochos, C. Richard DeVore
We demonstrate that conservation of global helicity plays only a minor role in determining the nature and consequences of magnetic reconnection in the solar atmosphere. First, we s…
The Role of Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Activity
Spiro K. Antiochos, C. Richard DeVore
We argue that magnetic reconnection plays the determining role in many of the various manifestations of solar activity. In particular, it is the trigger mechanism for the most ener…
The Dynamic Formation of Prominence Condensations
Spiro K. Antiochos, Peter J. MacNeice, Daniel S. Spicer +2
We present simulations of a model for the formation of a prominence condensation in a coronal loop. The key idea behind the model is that the spatial localization of loop heating n…
A Model for Solar Coronal Mass Ejections
S. K. Antiochos, C. R. DeVore, J. A. Klimchuk
We propose a new model for the initiation of a solar coronal mass ejection (CME). The model agrees with two properties of CMEs and eruptive flares that have proved to be very diffi…
The Magnetic Topology of Solar Eruptions
Spiro K. Antiochos
We present an explanation for the well-known observation that complexity of the solar magnetic field is a necessary ingredient for strong activity such as large eruptive flares. Ou…
