Can Multi-Threaded Flux Tubes in Coronal Arcades Support a Magnetohydrodynamic Avalanche?

James Threlfall, Jack Reid, Alan Hood

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities allow energy to be released from stressed magnetic fields, commonly modelled in cylindrical flux tubes linking parallel planes, but, more re…

Particle acceleration with anomalous pitch angle scattering in 3D separator reconnection

Alexei Borissov, Thomas Neukirch, Eduard Kontar +2

Understanding how the release of stored magnetic energy contributes to the generation of non-thermal high energy particles during solar flares is an important open problem in solar…

Flux Rope Formation Due to Shearing and Zipper Reconnection

J. Threlfall, A. W. Hood, E. R. Priest

Zipper reconnection has been proposed as a mechanism for creating most of the twist in the flux tubes that are present prior to eruptive flares and coronal mass ejections. We have…

Particle acceleration with anomalous pitch angle scattering in 2D MHD reconnection simulations

Alexei Borissov, Eduard P. Kontar, James Threlfall +1

The conversion of magnetic energy into other forms during solar flares is one of the outstanding open problems in solar physics. It is generally accepted that magnetic reconnection…

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…
