The Quasi-Radial Field-line Tracing (QRaFT): an Adaptive Segmentation of the Open-Flux Solar Corona

Vadim M. Uritsky, Christopher E. Rura, Cooper Downs +3

Optical observations of solar corona provide key information on its magnetic geometry. The large-scale open field of the corona plays an important role in shaping the ambient solar…

Quantitative Image-Based Validation Framework for Assessing Global Coronal Magnetic Field Models

Christopher E. Rura, Vadim M. Uritsky, Shaela I. Jones +3

Coronagraph observations provide key information about the orientation of the Sun's magnetic field. Previous studies used various algorithms to segment quasi-radial features in cor…

131 and 304 Å Emission Variability Increases Hours Prior to Solar Flare Onset

Kara L. Kniezewski, Emily I. Mason, Vadim M. Uritsky +1

Thermal changes in coronal loops are well-studied, both in quiescent active regions and in flaring scenarios. However, relatively little attention has been paid to loop emission in…

Out-of-plane Parallel Current in the Diffusion Regions: The Interaction Between Diffusion Region Systems and their Impact on the Outer EDR

Jason M. H. Beedle, Daniel J. Gershman, Vadim M. Uritsky +5

Dayside magnetic reconnection allows for the transfer of the solar wind's energy into Earth's magnetosphere. This process takes place in electron diffusion regions (EDRs) embedded…

Are coronal loops projection effects?

Vadim M. Uritsky, James A. Klimchuk

We report results of an in-depth numerical investigation of three-dimensional projection effects which could influence the observed loop-like structures in an optically thin solar…

Self-Similar Outflows at the Source of the Fast Solar Wind: A Smoking Gun of Multiscale Impulsive Reconnection?

Vadim M. Uritsky, Judith T. Karpen, Nour E. Raouafi +3

We present results of a quantitative analysis of structured plasma outflows above a polar coronal hole observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly onboard the Solar Dynamics Obser…
