A Fokker-Planck Framework for Studying the Diffusion of Radio Burst Waves in the Solar Corona

N. H. Bian, A. G. Emslie, E. P. Kontar

Electromagnetic wave scattering off density inhomogeneities in the solar corona is an important process which determines both the apparent source size and the time profile of radio…

Energy Deposition by Energetic Electrons in a Diffusive Collisional Transport Model

A. G. Emslie, N. H. Bian, E. P. Kontar

A considerable fraction of the energy in a solar flare is released as suprathermal electrons; such electrons play a major role in energy deposition in the ambient atmosphere and he…

Heating and cooling of coronal loops with turbulent suppression of parallel heat conduction

Nicolas Bian, A. Gordon Emslie, Duncan Horne +1

Using the "enthalpy-based thermal evolution of loops" (EBTEL) model, we investigate the hydrodynamics of the plasma in a flaring coronal loop in which heat conduction is limited by…

Solar plasma radio emission in the presence of imbalanced turbulence of kinetic-scale Alfvén waves

Olena Lyubchyk, Eduard Kontar, Yuriy Voitenko +2

We study the influence of kinetic-scale Alfvénic turbulence on the generation of plasma radio emission in the solar coronal regions where the plasma/magnetic pressure ratio is…

The role of diffusion in the transport of energetic electrons during solar flares

Nicolas H. Bian, A. Gordon Emslie, Eduard P. Kontar

The transport of the energy contained in suprathermal electrons in solar flares plays a key role in our understanding of many aspects of flare physics, from the spatial distributio…

Anomalous Cooling of Coronal Loops with Turbulent Suppression of Thermal Conduction

Nicolas H. Bian, Jonathan M. Watters, Eduard P. Kontar +1

We investigate the impact of turbulent suppression of parallel heat conduction on the cooling of post-flare coronal loops. Depending on the value of the mean free path associ…
