Generation of fast magnetoacoustic waves in the corona by impulsive bursty reconnection
Sripan Mondal, A. K. Srivastava, David I. Pontin +3
Fast-mode magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in the solar corona are often known to be produced by solar flares and eruptive prominences. We here simulate the effect of the interactio…
Heating in the Solar Atmosphere at a Fin Current Sheet Driven by Magnetic Flux Cancellation
Eric R. Priest, David I. Pontin
Magnetic reconnection before flux cancellation in the solar photosphere when two opposite-polarity photospheric magnetic fragments are approaching one another is usually modelled b…
Exploring the generation and annihilation of three dimensional nulls through MHD simulations in initially chaotic magnetic field devoid of nulls
Yogesh Kumar Maurya, Ramit Bhattacharyya, David I. Pontin +1
Three-dimensional (3D) magnetic nulls are abundant in the solar atmosphere, as been firmly established through contemporary observations. They are established to be important magne…
Generation and annihilation of three dimensional magnetic nulls in extrapolated solar coronal magnetic field: Data-based Implicit Large Eddy Simulation
Yogesh Kumar Maurya, Ramit Bhattacharyya, David I. Pontin
Three-dimensional magnetic nulls are the points where magnetic field vanishes and are preferential sites for magnetic reconnection: a process which converts magnetic energy into he…
Exact Nonlinear Decomposition of Ideal-MHD Waves Using Eigenenergies
Abbas Raboonik, Lucas Tarr, David Pontin
In this paper we introduce a new method for exact decomposition of propagating, nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) disturbances into their component eigenenergies associated with…
Coronal Heating and Solar Wind Generation by Flux Cancellation Reconnection
D. I. Pontin, E. R. Priest, L. P. Chitta +1
In this paper we propose that flux cancellation on small granular scales ( km) ubiquitously drives reconnection at a multitude of sites in the low solar atmosphere,…
