Radiative MHD Studies of Solar Spicules: Driving Mechanisms and the Role of Background Magnetic Field
Jin Li, Lei Ni, Robertus Erdélyi +3
We conduct 2.5D radiative magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to investigate the driving mechanisms of the solar spicules in coronal holes and how the different background magnet…
Energy and mass transport associated with impulsive spicular flows in solar coronal holes
Lei Ni, Jun Lin, Tanmoy Samanta +3
How the solar atmosphere is heated from a temperature of about \,K in the lower atmosphere to about \,MK in the corona has challenged the astrophysical community…
Coronal Mass Ejections Deflected by Newly Emerging Flux: A Combined Analytic and Numerical Study
Yuhao Chen, Chengcai Shen, Zhixing Mei +8
Newly emerging flux (NEF) has been widely studied as a trigger of solar filament eruptions, but its influence on the subsequent dynamics remains poorly explored. Because NEF typica…
QFP Waves Driven by the Tuning-Fork Effect during Magnetic Reconnecion
Jialiang Hu, Xiaozhou Zhao, Guiping Zhou +8
Through three-dimensional MHD simulations, we have uncovered a kind of fast coronal wave originating from both ends of a current sheet (CS) during a solar eruption. These waves are…
Three dimensional magnetic reconnection mediated with plasmoids and the resulted multi-thermal emissions in the cool atmosphere of the Sun
Guanchong Cheng, Lei Ni, Robert Cameron +3
Flux emergence is ubiquitous in the Sun's lower atmosphere, where the emerging magnetic flux can reconnect with the pre-existing magnetic field. We investigate plasmoid formation a…
The effect of plasma- on the heating mechanisms during magnetic reconnection in partially ionized low solar atmosphere
Abdullah Zafar, Lei Ni, Kaifeng Kang +5
We performed numerical simulations of magnetic reconnection with different strength of magnetic fields from the solar photosphere to the upper chromosphere. The main emphasis is to…
