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…

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…

Magnetic Flux Tube Reconnection: Tunneling Versus Slingshot
M. G. Linton, S. K. Antiochos
The discrete nature of the solar magnetic field as it emerges into the corona through the photosphere indicates that it exists as isolated flux tubes in the convection zone, and wi…
