Coronal heating by the partial relaxation of twisted loops
Michael Bareford, Alan Hood, Philippa Browning
Context: Relaxation theory offers a straightforward method for estimating the energy that is released when a magnetic field becomes unstable, as a result of continual convective dr…
The Flare-energy Distributions Generated by Kink-unstable Ensembles of Zero-net-current Coronal Loops
M. R. Bareford, P. K. Browning, R. A. M. Van der Linden
It has been proposed that the million degree temperature of the corona is due to the combined effect of barely-detectable energy releases, so called nanoflares, that occur througho…
A Nanoflare Distribution Generated by Repeated Relaxations Triggered by Kink Instability
Michael R. Bareford, Philippa. K. Browning, Ronald A. M. Van der Linden
Context: It is thought likely that vast numbers of nanoflares are responsible for the corona having a temperature of millions of degrees. Current observational technologies lack th…
