Gas-dynamic shock heating of post-flare loops due to retraction following localized, impulsive reconnection
D. W. Longcope, S. E. Guidoni, M. G. Linton
We present a novel model in which shortening of a magnetic flux tube following localized, three-dimensional reconnection generates strong gas-dynamic shocks around its apex. The sh…

The Number Of Magnetic Null Points In The Quiet Sun Corona
D. W. Longcope, C. E. Parnell
The coronal magnetic field above a particular photospheric region will vanish at a certain number of points, called null points. These points can be found directly in a potential f…

A Model for Patchy Reconnection in Three Dimensions
M. G. Linton, D. W. Longcope
We show, theoretically and via MHD simulations, how a short burst of reconnection localized in three dimensions on a one-dimensional current sheet creates a pair of reconnected flu…
