Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging of Three-dimensional Magnetic Reconnection in a Solar Eruption
J. Q. Sun, X. Cheng, M. D. Ding +7
Magnetic reconnection, a change of magnetic field connectivity, is a fundamental physical process in which magnetic energy is released explosively. It is responsible for various er…
The nature of separator current layers in MHS equilibria I. Current parallel to the separator
J. E. H. Stevenson, C. E. Parnell, E. R. Priest +1
Separators, which are in many ways the three-dimensional equivalent to two-dimensional nulls, are important sites for magnetic reconnection. Magnetic reconnection occurs in strong…
Particle acceleration at a reconnecting magnetic separator
J. Threlfall, T. Neukirch, C. E. Parnell +1
While the exact acceleration mechanism of energetic particles during solar flares is (as yet) unknown, magnetic reconnection plays a key role both in the release of stored magnetic…
A Contemporary View of Coronal Heating
Clare E. Parnell, Ineke De Moortel
Determining the heating mechanism (or mechanisms) that causes the outer atmosphere of the Sun, and many other stars, to reach temperatures orders of magnitude higher than their sur…
Dynamical Relaxation of Coronal Magnetic Fields. III. 3D Spiral Nulls
Jorge Fuentes-Fernandez, Clare E. Parnell
Context: The majority of studies on stressed 3D magnetic null points consider magnetic reconnection driven by an external perturbation, but the formation of a genuine current sheet…
