The Effects of Energy Conservation in Simulating Solar Eruptions
Xianyu Liu, Spiro K. Antiochos, Nishtha Sachdeva +6
Strict energy conservation is, perhaps, the most basic principle in all physics, but has proven to be difficult to satisfy in numerical simulations of solar eruptions. The Alfvén…
Effects of the Background Magnetic Field on Flux Rope Eruptions
Xianyu Liu, Spiro K. Antiochos, Igor V. Sokolov +5
Solar eruptive events are generally believed to involve magnetic flux ropes (MFR), formed either in the pre-eruptive phase of the event or during the eruption itself. These MFR eru…
Counterintuitive Magnetic Connectivity and Energetic Particle Flux Differences among Nearby Spacecraft During the 2023 February 24 Solar Energetic Particle Event
Weihao Liu, Xianyu Liu, David Lario +4
For solar energetic particles (SEPs), it is generally expected that observers magnetically closer to the eruption source region exhibit higher particle intensities than those poorl…
Simulating the Solar Corona with Multiple Solar Photospheric Magnetic Maps during the 8 April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse
Xianyu Liu, Weihao Liu, Ward B. Manchester +11
The 8 April 2024 total solar eclipse (TSE) provides a unique opportunity to study the solar corona. This work presents our simulations of the solar corona at the time of the eclips…
