Time-Dependent Dynamics of the Corona

Emily I. Mason, Roberto Lionello, Cooper Downs +2

We present in this Letter the first global comparison between traditional line-tied steady state magnetohydrodynamic models and a new, fully time-dependent thermodynamic magnetohyd…

Global MHD Simulations of the Time-Dependent Corona

Roberto Lionello, Cooper Downs, Emily I. Mason +5

We describe, test, and apply a technique to incorporate full-sun, surface flux evolution into an MHD model of the global solar corona. Requiring only maps of the evolving surface f…

Improving Multi-Dimensional Data Formats, Access, and Assimilation Tools for the Twenty-First Century

Daniel B. Seaton, Amir Caspi, Roberto Casini +12

Heliophysics image data largely relies on a forty-year-old ecosystem built on the venerable Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) data standard. While many in situ measurements us…

The Equilibrium of Coronal Loops Near Separatrices

Emily I Mason, Spiro K Antiochos, Stephen Bradshaw

We present numerical models from the field-aligned Hydrodynamics and Radiation Code (HYDRAD) of a highly asymmetric closed coronal loop with near-singular expansion factor. This lo…

To Rain or Not to Rain: Correlating GOES Flare Class and Coronal Rain Statistics

Emily I. Mason, Kara L. Kniezewski

Post-flare arcades are well-known components of solar flare evolution, which have been observed for several decades. Coronal rain, cascades of catastrophically-cooled plasma, outli…

Statistical Evidence for Small-Scale Interchange Reconnection at a Coronal Hole Boundary

Emily I. Mason, Vadim M. Uritsky

Much of coronal hole (CH) research is focused upon determining the boundary and calculating the open flux as accurately as possible. However, the observed boundary itself is worthy…

Defining the Middle Corona

Matthew J. West, Daniel B. Seaton, David B. Wexler +31

The middle corona, the region roughly spanning heliocentric altitudes from to , encompasses almost all of the influential physical transitions and processes that…

An Analysis of Spikes in Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) Data

Peter R. Young, Nicholeen M. Viall, Michael S. Kirk +2

The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) returns high-resolution images of the solar atmosphere in seven extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavele…
