Energetics and Emission in a Simulated Solar Flare Initialised by a Non-Force Free Magnetic Field
W. Bate, M. Gordovskyy, A. Prasad +7
Solar flare simulations are commonly initialised using non-linear force free field (NLFF) extrapolations derived from photospheric vector magnetograms. However, the force free assu…

Quasi-Periodic Pulsations Driven by Structural Oscillations in a Kink-Unstable Flaring Coronal Loop
James Stewart, Philippa K. Browning, Mykola Gordovskyy
Twisted coronal loops in the solar atmosphere may become kink-unstable when their magnetic field lines are sufficiently twisted. This instability can trigger magnetic reconnection,…
