The Role of Magnetic Helicity in Coronal Heating
Kalman J. Knizhnik, Spiro K. Antiochos, James A. Klimchuk +1
One of the greatest challenges in solar physics is understanding the heating of the Sun's corona. Most theories for coronal heating postulate that free energy in the form of magnet…
Power-Law Statistics Of Driven Reconnection In The Magnetically Closed Corona
Kalman J. Knizhnik, Vadim M. Uritsky, James A. Klimchuk +1
Numerous observations have revealed that power-law distributions are ubiquitous in energetic solar processes. Hard X-rays, soft X-rays, extreme ultraviolet radiation, and radio wav…
Filament Channel Formation Via Magnetic Helicity Condensation
Kalman J. Knizhnik, Spiro K. Antiochos, C. Richard DeVore
A major unexplained feature of the solar atmosphere is the accumulation of magnetic shear, in the form of filament channels, at photospheric polarity inversion lines (PILs). In add…
Observations and Implications of Large-Amplitude Longitudinal Oscillations in a Solar Filament
M. Luna, K. Knizhnik, K. Muglach +4
On 20 August 2010 an energetic disturbance triggered large-amplitude longitudinal oscillations in a nearby filament. The triggering mechanism appears to be episodic jets connecting…
The Acceleration of Ions in Solar Flares During Magnetic Reconnection
Kalman Knizhnik, Marc Swisdak, James F. Drake
The acceleration of solar flare ions during magnetic reconnection is explored via particle-in-cell simulations that self-consistently follow the motions of both protons and par…
