Mixing-induced thermal instabilities and coronal condensations
B. Snow, A. Hillier
Cool, dense material is frequently observed to permeate the hot, tenuous solar corona in the form of prominences, spicules and coronal rain. Both the cool material and surrounding…
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…
Quantifying Reconnection and it's Dynamical Role in 2D Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor Turbulence
Manohar Teja Kalluri, Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow
Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability (MRTI) governs material transport and mixing in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas under the influence of gravity and magnetic fields. While…
Observational signatures of mixing-induced cooling in the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
Ben Snow, Chris Osborne, Andrew Hillier
Cool (K), dense material permeates the hot (K), tenuous solar corona in form of coronal condensations, for example prominences and coronal rain. As the…
