A New Framework for Modeling Solar Flares from MHD to Kinetic Processes
Joel C. Allred, Graham S. Kerr, Silvina E. Guidoni +4
Physical processes in solar flares span many orders of magnitude in spatiotemporal scales, so a single unified model accounting for all relevant processes remains computationally i…
Plasma Heating and Energization in Hot-Onset Flare Precursor Events
H. Da, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
Recent observations of solar flares have revealed a distinct 'hot onset' phase preceding the impulsive phase, characterized by elevated plasma temperature (>10 MK), a steady increa…
Solar-Cycle Modulation and Photospheric Magnetic Control of Turbulence in the Young Solar Wind
Yanwen Wang, Rohit Chhiber, Arcadi V. Usmanov +2
The solar wind is an outflow of solar plasma that expands from the corona to fill the heliosphere. Its turbulence provides a pathway for non-adiabatic heating and acceleration, and…
Signatures of Reconnection and a Split Heliospheric Tail in High-Energy Energetic Neutral Atoms
M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, J. F. Drake +10
The shape of the heliosphere, regarded as comet-like since the 1960s, has recently been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. There is disagreement whether the heliosph…
Magnetic switchback formation: a review of proposed mechanisms
Peter F. Wyper, Jonathan Squire, Etienne Pariat +19
Magnetic switchbacks are large amplitude deflections of the magnetic field within the solar wind. They are Alfvénic in character and so are associated with a spike in velocity and…
The Maximum Particle Energy Gain During Magnetic Reconnection
Zhiyu Yin, Harry Arnold, James F Drake +1
The factors that control the maximum energy attained by protons and electrons during magnetic reconnection are investigated analytically and using large-scale simulations with the…
