Particle acceleration at reconnecting separator current layers
J. Threlfall, J. E. H. Stevenson, C. E. Parnell +1
The aim of this work is to investigate and characterise particle behaviour in a 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of a reconnecting magnetic separator. We use a relativistic guidi…
Spontaneous reconnection at a separator current layer. II. Nature of the waves and flows
Julie E. H. Stevenson, Clare E. Parnell
Sudden destabilisations of the magnetic field, such as those caused by spontaneous reconnection, will produce waves and/or flows. Here, we investigate the nature of the plasma moti…
Spontaneous reconnection at a separator current layer. I. Nature of the reconnection
Julie E. H. Stevenson, Clare E. Parnell
Magnetic separators, which lie on the boundary between four topologically-distinct flux domains, are prime locations in three-dimensional magnetic fields for reconnection, especial…
Is Magnetic Topology Important for Heating the Solar Atmosphere?
C. E. Parnell, J. E. H. Stevenson, J. Threlfall +1
Magnetic fields permeate the entire solar atmosphere weaving an extremely complex pattern on both local and global scales. In order to understand the nature of this tangled web of…
The nature of separator current layers in MHS equilibria I. Current parallel to the separator
J. E. H. Stevenson, C. E. Parnell, E. R. Priest +1
Separators, which are in many ways the three-dimensional equivalent to two-dimensional nulls, are important sites for magnetic reconnection. Magnetic reconnection occurs in strong…
