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…

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…

Investigating the response of loop plasma to nanoflare heating using RADYN simulations

V. Polito, P. Testa, J. Allred +5

We present the results of 1D hydrodynamic simulations of coronal loops which are subject to nanoflares, caused by either in-situ thermal heating, or non-thermal electrons (NTE) bea…
