Global Coronal Equilibria with Solar Wind Outflow II -- Optimizing the Outflow Model

Oliver Rice, Anthony Yeates

We expand upon our paper (Rice and Yeates, 2021) which introduced `Outflow Fields': alternatives to the widely-used potential field source surface (PFSS) extrapolations of the Sun'…

Witnessing Magnetic Reconnection in Tangled Superpenumbral Fibrils Around a Sunspot

Hechao Chen, Hui Tian, Eric R. Priest +8

Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process crucial for heating the solar corona and generating the solar wind, but resolving and characterizing it on t…

Investigating the Effects of Atmospheric Stratification on Coronal Active Region Field Modelling

Oliver Rice, Christopher Prior

Understanding the evolution of the complex magnetic fields found in solar active regions is an active area of research. There are numerous models for such fields which range in the…

Eruptivity Criteria for Solar Coronal Flux Ropes in Magnetohydrodynamic and Magnetofrictional Models

Oliver E. K. Rice, Anthony R. Yeates

We investigate which scalar quantity or quantities can best predict the loss of equilibrium and subsequent eruption of magnetic flux ropes in the solar corona. Our models are initi…

Eruptivity Criteria for Two-dimensional Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Solar Corona

Oliver E. K. Rice, Anthony R. Yeates

We apply the magneto-frictional approach to investigate which quantity or quantities can best predict the loss of equilibrium of a translationally-invariant magnetic flux rope. The…

Global Coronal Equilibria with Solar Wind Outflow

Oliver E. K. Rice, Anthony R. Yeates

Given a known radial magnetic field distribution on the Sun's photospheric surface, there exist well-established methods for computing a potential magnetic field in the corona abov…
