Magnetic topological analysis of coronal bright points

K. Galsgaard, M. S. Madjarska, F. Moreno-Insertis +2

{We report on the first of a series of studies on coronal bright points investigating the physical mechanism that generates these phenomena.} {The aim of this paper is to understan…

Active region upflows: 2. Data driven MHD modeling

K. Galsgaard, M. S. Madjarska, K. Vanninathan +2

Context. Observations of many active regions show a slow systematic outflow/upflow from their edges lasting from hours to days. At present no physical explanation has been proven,…

Active region upflows: 1. Multi-instrument observations

K. Vanninathan, M. S. Madjarska, K. Galsgaard +2

Upflows at the edges of active regions (ARs) are studied by spatially and temporally combining multi-instrument observations obtained with EIS/Hinode, AIA and HMI/SDO and IBIS/NSO,…

On the nature of reconnection at a solar coronal null point above a separatrix dome

D. I. Pontin, E. R. Priest, K. Galsgaard

Three-dimensional magnetic null points are ubiquitous in the solar corona, and in any generic mixed-polarity magnetic field. We consider magnetic reconnection at an isolated corona…

Steady state reconnection at a single 3D magnetic null point

K. Galsgaard, D. I. Pontin

To systematically stress a rotationally symmetric 3D magnetic null point by advecting the opposite footpoints of the spine axis in opposite directions. This stress eventually conce…

Dynamics of braided coronal loops II: Cascade to multiple small-scale reconnection events

D. I. Pontin, A. L. Wilmot-Smith, G. Hornig +1

Aims: Our aim is to investigate the resistive relaxation of a magnetic loop that contains braided magnetic flux but no net current or helicity. The loop is subject to line-tied bou…
