Imaging and spectroscopic observations of magnetic reconnection and chromospheric evaporation in a solar flare
Hui Tian, Gang Li, Katharine K. Reeves +5
Magnetic reconnection is believed to be the dominant energy release mechanism in solar flares. The standard flare model predicts both downward and upward outflow plasmas with speed…
Possible role of coronal streamer as magnetically-closed structure in shock-induced energetic electrons and metric type II radio bursts
Xiangliang Kong, Yao Chen, Fan Guo +4
Two solar type II radio bursts, separated by ~24 hours in time, are examined together. Both events are associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) erupting from the same active r…
Scaling of magnetic reconnection in relativistic collisionless plasmas
Yi-Hsin Liu, Fan Guo, William Daughton +2
Using fully kinetic simulations, we study the scaling of the inflow speed of collisionless magnetic reconnection from the non-relativistic to ultra-relativistic limit. In the anti-…
The Acceleration of Electrons at Collisionless Shocks Moving Through a Turbulent Magnetic Field
Fan Guo, Joe Giacalone
We perform a numerical-simulation study of the acceleration of electrons at shocks that propagate through a prespecified, kinematically defined turbulent magnetic field. The turbul…
Formation of Hard Power-laws in the Energetic Particle Spectra Resulting from Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection
Fan Guo, Hui Li, William Daughton +1
Using fully kinetic simulations, we demonstrate that magnetic reconnection in relativistic plasmas is highly efficient at accelerating particles through a first-order Fermi process…
A solar type II radio burst from CME-coronal ray interaction: simultaneous radio and EUV imaging
Yao Chen, Guohui Du, Li Feng +5
Simultaneous radio and extreme ultraviolet (EUV)/white-light imaging data are examined for a solar type II radio burst occurring on 2010 March 18 to deduce its source location. Usi…
Observation of Energetic particles between a pair of Corotating Interaction Regions
Z. Wu, Y. Chen, G. Li +11
We report observations of the acceleration and trapping of energetic ions and electrons between a pair of corotating interaction regions (CIRs). The event occurred in Carrington Ro…
