Exploring Plasma Heating in the Current Sheet Region in a Three-Dimensional Coronal Mass Ejection Simulation
Katharine K. Reeves, Tibor Török, Zoran Mikić +2
We simulate a coronal mass ejection (CME) using a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code that includes coronal heating, thermal conduction, and radiative cooling in the e…
Slip-Back Mapping as a Tracker of Topological Changes in Evolving Magnetic Configurations
R. Lionello, V. S. Titov, Z. Mikić +1
The topology of the coronal magnetic field produces a strong impact on the properties of the solar corona and presumably on the origin of the slow solar wind. To advance our unders…
Regularized Biot-Savart Laws for Modeling Magnetic Flux Ropes
Viacheslav S. Titov, Cooper Downs, Zoran Mikić +3
Many existing models assume that magnetic flux ropes play a key role in solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). It is therefore important to develop efficient methods for c…
Closed-Field Coronal Heating Driven by Wave Turbulence
Cooper Downs, Roberto Lionello, Zoran Mikić +2
To simulate the energy balance of coronal plasmas on macroscopic scales, we often require the specification of the coronal heating mechanism in some functional form. To go beyond e…
Can Large Time Delays Observed in Light Curves of Coronal Loops be Explained by Impulsive Heating?
Roberto Lionello, Caroline E. Alexander, Amy R. Winebarger +2
The light curves of solar coronal loops often peak first in channels associated with higher temperatures and then in those associated with lower. The time delays between the differ…
Application of a Solar Wind Model Driven by Turbulence Dissipation to a 2D Magnetic Field Configuration
Roberto Lionello, Marco Velli, Cooper Downs +2
Although it is widely accepted that photospheric motions provide the energy source and that the magnetic field must play a key role in the process, the detailed mechanisms responsi…
