Breakout/Interchange Reconnection as a driver of Jets, Fast CME, and Solar Energetic Particles
Pankaj Kumar, Judith T. Karpen, David Lario +4
Understanding how energetic particles are accelerated and released from the low corona into the interplanetary medium during solar eruptions is crucial for space weather research.…
Investigation of magnetic topology and triggering mechanisms of a C-class flare and active-region blowout jet
Yogesh Kumar Maurya, Ramit Bhattacharyya, Peter Wyper
Coronal jets are collimated plasma eruptions which are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere. Believed to be triggered by magnetic reconnection, these jets can contribute to various p…
UK White Paper on Magnetic Reconnection
Alexander J. B. Russell, James A. McLaughlin, Philippa Browning +25
Magnetic reconnection powers explosive releases of magnetic energy, heating and particle acceleration throughout the plasma universe. Knowledge of this universal process is vital t…
Determining the 3D Dynamics of Solar Flare Magnetic Reconnection
Joel T. Dahlin, Spiro K. Antiochos, Peter F. Wyper +2
Solar flares are major space weather events that result from the explosive conversion of stored magnetic energy into bulk motion, plasma heating, and particle acceleration. While t…
Solar Eruption Onset and Particle Acceleration in Nested-Null Topologies
Pankaj Kumar, Judith T. Karpen, Peter F. Wyper +3
The magnetic breakout model explains a variety of solar eruptions, ranging from small-scale jets to large-scale coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Most of our previous studies are focu…
Helmet streamer influence on the evolution of magnetic flux ropes
M. Cécere, P. F. Wyper, G. Krause +2
Context: Solar eruptions are crucial for space weather studies. Understanding the mechanisms influencing their evolution is key to improving predictions of their geoeffectiveness.…
