A Cancellation Nanoflare Model for Solar Chromospheric and Coronal Heating
E. R. Priest, L. P. Chitta, P. Syntelis
Nanoflare models for heating the solar corona usually assume magnetic braiding and reconnection as the source of the energy. However, recent observations at record spatial resoluti…
Self-Similar Approach for Rotating Magnetohydrodynamic Solar and Astrophysical Structures
Manuel Luna, Eric Priest, Fernando Moreno-Insertis
Rotating magnetic structures are common in astrophysics, from vortex tubes and tornados in the Sun all the way to jets in different astrophysical systems. The physics of these obje…
Flux Rope Formation Due to Shearing and Zipper Reconnection
J. Threlfall, A. W. Hood, E. R. Priest
Zipper reconnection has been proposed as a mechanism for creating most of the twist in the flux tubes that are present prior to eruptive flares and coronal mass ejections. We have…
