Particle acceleration and their escape into the heliosphere in solar flares with open magnetic field
Mykola Gordovskyy, Philippa K. Browning, Kanya Kusano +2
Energetic particle populations in the solar corona and in the heliosphere appear to have different characteristics even when produced in the same solar flare. It is not clear what…
Diffusion regime of electron-electron collisions in weakly ionized plasmas
B. Breizman, G. Stupakov, G. Vekstein
We consider weakly ionized plasma where frequent elastic scattering of electrons on neutrals change the individual acts and the rate of electron-electron collisions significantly.…
Forward modelling of particle acceleration and transport in an individual solar flare
Mykola Gordovskyy, Philippa K. Browning, Satoshi Inoue +3
The aim of this study is to generate maps of the hard X-ray emission produced by energetic electrons in a solar flare and compare them with observations. The ultimate goal is to te…
On the Hall-mediated resistive tearing instability of highly elongated current sheets
Grigory Vekstein
The present paper provides comprehensive description of various regimes involved in the two-fluid model of the resistive tearing instability. These include two novel regimes of thi…
On the tearing instability of highly elongated current sheets
Grigory Vekstein
Rigorous theories of the tearing instability are mathematically quite involving. Therefore, the present note aims to demonstrate how their main results can be reproduced by a simpl…
Forced magnetic reconnection
G Vekstein
This is a tutorial-style selective review explaining basic concepts of forced magnetic reconnection. It is based on a celebrated model of forced reconnection suggested by J. B. Tay…
Hall-mediated magnetic reconnection and onset of plasmoid instability
G. Vekstein, K. Kusano
We investigate a role of the Hall-effect in the current sheet evolution and onset of the secondary tearing (plasmoid) instability in the framework of the incompressible resistive H…
Generation of electric currents in the chromosphere via neutral-ion drag
V. Krasnoselskikh, G. Vekstein, H. S. Hudson +2
We consider the generation of electric currents in the solar chromosphere where the ionization level is typically low. We show that ambient electrons become magnetized even for wea…
