Fast Magnetoacoustic Wave Behavior within Gravitationally Stratified, Magnetically Inhomogeneous Media
Ryan T. Smith, James A. McLaughlin, Gert J. J. Botha
The nature of MHD waves within inhomogeneous media is fundamental to understanding and interpreting wave behavior in the solar atmosphere. We investigate fast magnetoacoustic wave…
Wave generation via oscillatory reconnection at a three-dimensional magnetic null point
Luiz A. C. A. Schiavo, Gert J. J. Botha, James A. McLaughlin
This work conducts a three-dimensional (3D), nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation to investigate wave generating, time-dependent reconnection around a magnetic null point…
Time-dependent Turbulent Electron Acceleration and Transport in Solar Flares
Luiz A. C. A. Schiavo, Natasha L. S. Jeffrey, Gert J. J. Botha +1
Solar flares are explosive releases of magnetic energy stored in the solar corona, driven by magnetic reconnection. These events accelerate electrons, generating hard X-ray emissio…
The periodicity of three-dimensional oscillatory reconnection
Luiz A. C. A. Schiavo, Gert J. J. Botha, James A. McLaughlin
Oscillatory reconnection is a dynamic, magnetic relaxation mechanism in which a perturbed null point reverts back to equilibrium via time-dependent reconnection. In this paper, we…
Solar Vortices as Conduits for Magnetoacoustic Waves: Multi-Layer Coupling and Their Role in Atmospheric Heating
Suzana S. A. Silva, Ioannis Dakanalis, Luiz A. C. A. Schiavo +10
The Sun's atmosphere hosts swirling plasma structures, known as solar vortices, which have long been thought to channel wave energy into higher layers. Until now, no direct observa…
