Self-consistent Nonlinear Force-free Field Reconstruction from Weighted Boundary Conditions
Alpha Mastrano, Kai E. Yang, Michael S. Wheatland
Vector magnetogram data are often used as photospheric boundary conditions for force-free coronal magnetic field extrapolations. In general, however, vector magnetogram data are no…
Sunspot and starspot lifetimes in a turbulent erosion model
Yuri E. Litvinenko, M. S. Wheatland
Quantitative models of sunspot and starspot decay predict the timescale of magnetic diffusion and may yield important constraints in stellar dynamo models. Motivated by recent meas…
Is Cyclotron Maser Emission in Solar Flares Driven by a Horseshoe Distribution?
D. B. Melrose, M. S. Wheatland
Since the early 1980s, decimetric spike bursts have been attributed to electron cyclotron maser emission (ECME) by the electrons that produce hard X-ray bursts as they precipitate…
The Energetics of a Flaring Solar Active Region, and Observed Flare Statistics
M. S. Wheatland
A stochastic model for the energy of a flaring solar active region is presented, generalising and extending the approach of Wheatland & Glukhov (1998). The probability distribution…
An Improved Virial Estimate of Solar Active Region Energy
M. S. Wheatland, T. R. Metcalf
The MHD virial theorem may be used to estimate the magnetic energy of active regions based on vector magnetic fields measured at the photosphere or chromosphere. However, the viria…
The local Poisson hypothesis for solar flares
M. S. Wheatland
The question of whether flares occur as a Poisson process has important consequences for flare physics. Recently Lepreti et al. presented evidence for local departure from Poisson…
