Determining the 3D Dynamics of Solar Flare Magnetic Reconnection
Joel T. Dahlin, Spiro K. Antiochos, Peter F. Wyper +2
Solar flares are major space weather events that result from the explosive conversion of stored magnetic energy into bulk motion, plasma heating, and particle acceleration. While t…

Solar Eruption Onset and Particle Acceleration in Nested-Null Topologies
Pankaj Kumar, Judith T. Karpen, Peter F. Wyper +3
The magnetic breakout model explains a variety of solar eruptions, ranging from small-scale jets to large-scale coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Most of our previous studies are focu…

The Role of Magnetic Reconnection in the Structure & Dynamics of Fast Coronal Mass Ejections
Brian T. Welsch, C. R. DeVore
Both observations and models of flare-associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) suggest that magnetic reconnection in an ejection's wake substantially increases the net, outward Lor…
