MHD Modelling of magnetic reconnection heating and jets in the solar corona

P. Pagano, C. Argiroffi, F. Reale +3

Magnetic reconnection is seen as the lead mechanism to explain the persistent and bursty heating of the solar corona that keeps its thermal structure. Lately the observations and m…

Numerical simulations of waves and turbulence in coronal loops: observables and spectra

Fabio Feraco, Francesco Pucci, Claudio Meringolo +11

We investigate numerically the time evolution of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations in a coronal loop, focusing on the dynamics due to both phase mixing and turbulent cascade…

3D MHD simulations of coronal loops heated via magnetic braiding II. Automatic detection of reconnection outflows and statistical analysis of their properties

Gabriele Cozzo, Paola Testa, Juan Martinez-Sykora +5

Recent observations of fast and bursty ``nanojets'' suggest novel diagnostics of nanoflare heating in the solar corona. The aim of this work is to investigate the presence and prop…

3D MHD simulations of coronal loops heated via magnetic braiding I. Continuous driving

Gabriele Cozzo, Paola Testa, Juan Martinez-Sykora +13

The nature and detailed properties of the heating of the million-degree solar corona are important issues that are still largely unresolved. Nanoflare heating might be dominant in…

Coronal energy release by MHD avalanches III. Identification of a reconnection outflow from a nanoflare

G. Cozzo, P. Pagano, F. Reale +5

Outflows perpendicular to the guide field are believed to be a possible signature of magnetic reconnection in the solar corona and specifically a way to detect the occurrence of ub…

Coronal energy release by MHD avalanches II. EUV line emission from a multi-threaded coronal loop

G. Cozzo, J. Reid, P. Pagano +13

MHD kink instability can trigger the fragmentation of a twisted magnetic flux tube into small-scale current sheets that dissipate as aperiodic impulsive heating events. This instab…

Bright hot impacts by erupted fragments falling back on the Sun: magnetic channelling

A. Petralia, F. Reale, S. Orlando +1

Dense plasma fragments were observed to fall back on the solar surface by the Solar Dynamics Observatory after an eruption on 7 June 2011, producing strong EUV brightenings. Previo…

MHD modeling of coronal loops: injection of high-speed chromospheric flows

A. Petralia, F. Reale, S. Orlando +1

Observations reveal a correspondence between chromospheric type II spicules and bright upwardly moving fronts in the corona observed in the EUV band. However, theoretical considera…
