Driving Solar Spicules and Jets with Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Testing a Persistent Idea
Steven R. Cranmer, Lauren N. Woolsey
The solar chromosphere contains thin, highly dynamic strands of plasma known as spicules. Recently, it has been suggested that the smallest and fastest (Type II) spicules are ident…
Time-Dependent Turbulent Heating of Open Flux Tubes in the Chromosphere, Corona, and Solar Wind
Lauren N. Woolsey, Steven R. Cranmer
We investigate several key questions of plasma heating in open-field regions of the corona that connect to the solar wind. We present results for a model of Alfven-wave-driven turb…
An Essay On Interactive Investigations Of The Zeeman Effect In The Interstellar Medium
Lauren N. Woolsey
The paper presents an interactive module created through the Wolfram Demonstrations Project that visualizes the Zeeman effect for the small magnetic field strengths present in the…
Solar wind modeling: a computational tool for the classroom
Lauren N. Woolsey
This article presents a Python model and library that can be used for student investigation of the application of fundamental physics on a specific problem: the role of magnetic fi…
