Distribution of energy release events due to magnetic braiding
David I. Pontin, Klaus Galsgaard, James A. Klimchuk
Energy conversion by reconnection-powered nanoflare heating is one of the leading explanations for the heating of the solar chromosphere and corona. The aim of this paper is to she…
On the stability analysis of astrophysical cooling functions
Amanda Stricklan, Tim Waters, James Klimchuk
To model the temperature evolution of optically thin astrophysical environments at MHD scales, radiative and collisional cooling rates are typically either pre-tabulated or fit int…
The Onset of Magnetic Reconnection in Dynamically Evolving Current Sheets
James Leake, Lars Daldorff, James Klimchuk
We present the first results of three-dimensional (3D) numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the onset of magnetic reconnection via the tearing instability in dynamica…
The Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI)
Steven Christe, Meriem Alaoui, Joel Allred +26
FOXSI is a direct-imaging, hard X-ray (HXR) telescope optimized for solar flare observations. It detects hot plasma and energetic electrons in and near energy release sites in the…
Power-Law Statistics Of Driven Reconnection In The Magnetically Closed Corona
Kalman J. Knizhnik, Vadim M. Uritsky, James A. Klimchuk +1
Numerous observations have revealed that power-law distributions are ubiquitous in energetic solar processes. Hard X-rays, soft X-rays, extreme ultraviolet radiation, and radio wav…
How gas-dynamic flare models powered by Petschek reconnection differ from those with ad hoc energy sources
Dana Longcope, Jim Klimchuk
Aspects of solar flare dynamics, such as chromospheric evaporation and flare light-curves, have long been studied using one-dimensional models of plasma dynamics inside a static fl…
