Fleeting Small-scale Surface Magnetic Fields Build the Quiet-Sun Corona
L. P. Chitta, S. K. Solanki, J. C. del Toro Iniesta +19
Arch-like loop structures filled with million Kelvin hot plasma form the building blocks of the quiet-Sun corona. Both high-resolution observations and magnetoconvection simulation…
Ultra-high-resolution Observations of Persistent Null-point Reconnection in the Solar Corona
X. Cheng, E. R. Priest, H. T. Li +21
Magnetic reconnection is a key mechanism involved in solar eruptions and is also a prime possibility to heat the low corona to millions of degrees. Here, we present ultra-high-reso…
Ambipolar diffusion: Self-similar solutions and MHD code testing. Cylindrical symmetry
F. Moreno-Insertis, D. Nóbrega-Siverio, E. R. Priest +1
Ambipolar diffusion is a process occurring in partially ionised astrophysical systems that imparts a complicated mathematical and physical nature to Ohm's law. The numerical codes…
Scaling Theory of 3D Magnetic Reconnection Spreading
Milton Arencibia, Paul A. Cassak, Michael A. Shay +1
We develop a first-principles scaling theory of the spreading of three-dimensional (3D) magnetic reconnection of finite extent in the out of plane direction. This theory addresses…
From Formation to Disruption: Observing the Multiphase Evolution of a Solar Flare Current Sheet
L. P. Chitta, E. R. Priest, X. Cheng
A current sheet, where magnetic energy is liberated through reconnection and is converted to other forms, is thought to play the central role in solar flares, the most intense expl…
Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection in astrophysical plasmas
Ting Li, Eric Priest, Ruilong Guo
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in a laboratory, magnetospheric, solar and astrophysical plasma, whereby magnetic energy is converted into heat, bulk kinetic energy…
