Observation of Large-Scale Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability Wave Driven by a Coronal Mass Ejection
Leon Ofman, Olga Khabarova, Ryun-Yong Kwon +3
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) can occur when there is a relative motion between two adjacent fluids. In the case of magnetized plasma, the shear velocity must exceed the l…

Localized Heating and Dynamics of the Solar Corona due to a Symbiosis of Waves and Reconnection
A. K. Srivastava, Sripan Mondal, Eric R. Priest +6
The Sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, is maintained at mega-Kelvin temperatures and fills the heliosphere with a supersonic outflowing wind. The dissipation of magnetic waves and…

Generation of fast magnetoacoustic waves in the corona by impulsive bursty reconnection
Sripan Mondal, A. K. Srivastava, David I. Pontin +3
Fast-mode magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in the solar corona are often known to be produced by solar flares and eruptive prominences. We here simulate the effect of the interactio…
