Mixing-induced thermal instabilities and coronal condensations
B. Snow, A. Hillier
Cool, dense material is frequently observed to permeate the hot, tenuous solar corona in the form of prominences, spicules and coronal rain. Both the cool material and surrounding…
UK White Paper on Magnetic Reconnection
Alexander J. B. Russell, James A. McLaughlin, Philippa Browning +25
Magnetic reconnection powers explosive releases of magnetic energy, heating and particle acceleration throughout the plasma universe. Knowledge of this universal process is vital t…
Quantifying Reconnection and it's Dynamical Role in 2D Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor Turbulence
Manohar Teja Kalluri, Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow
Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability (MRTI) governs material transport and mixing in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas under the influence of gravity and magnetic fields. While…
Observational signatures of mixing-induced cooling in the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
Ben Snow, Chris Osborne, Andrew Hillier
Cool (K), dense material permeates the hot (K), tenuous solar corona in form of coronal condensations, for example prominences and coronal rain. As the…
Kink instability of flux ropes in partially-ionised plasmas
Giulia Murtas, Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow
In the solar atmosphere, flux ropes are subject to current driven instabilities that are crucial in driving plasma eruptions, ejections and heating. A typical ideal magnetohydrodyn…
Temperature-reducing shocks in optically-thin radiative MHD -- analytical and numerical results
Ben Snow
Shocks are often invoked as heating mechanisms in astrophysical systems, with both adiabatic compression and dissipative heating that leading to temperature increases. Whilst shock…
Collisional ionisation, recombination and ionisation potential in two-fluid slow-mode shocks: analytical and numerical results
B. Snow, A. Hillier
Shocks are a universal feature of the lower solar atmosphere which consists of both ionised and neutral species. Including partial ionisation leads to a finite-width existing for s…
Magnetic shocks and substructures excited by torsional Alfvén wave interactions in merging expanding flux tubes
B. Snow, V. Fedun, F. A. Gent +2
Vortex motions are frequently observed on the solar photosphere. These motions may play a key role in the transport of energy and momentum from the lower atmosphere into the upper…
