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…
