Solar Vortex Detection With Velocity Field Normalisation: Eliminating False Positives
Lauren McClure, Suzana Silva, Gary Verth +2
Small-scale vortices in the solar photosphere play a central role in transporting mass, energy, and momentum into the upper solar atmosphere, yet reliably detecting these structure…
Alfven Waves in Partially Ionised Solar Steady-State Plasmas
Nada F. Alshehri, Istvan Ballai, Viktor Fedun +1
Our study investigates the properties of Alfvén waves in partially ionised solar plasmas in the presence of steady, field-aligned, flows of charged and neutral particles. Our work…
Solar Vortices as Conduits for Magnetoacoustic Waves: Multi-Layer Coupling and Their Role in Atmospheric Heating
Suzana S. A. Silva, Ioannis Dakanalis, Luiz A. C. A. Schiavo +10
The Sun's atmosphere hosts swirling plasma structures, known as solar vortices, which have long been thought to channel wave energy into higher layers. Until now, no direct observa…
Global CME-driven oscillations in the outer solar corona
Suzana S. A. Silva, J. J. Gonzalez-Aviles, Pete Riley +8
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are known drivers of large-scale waves in the low corona. However, wave dynamics in the extended corona and inner heliosphere remain largely unexplore…
Characterizing Vortex-Driven Dynamics in the Solar Atmosphere Using Information Theory
Suzana S. A. Silva, Erico Rempel, Gary Verth +2
Solar vortex regions show enhanced Poynting flux and favourable heating conditions, but how the vortices reorganize and influence their surroundings remains unclear. Here we apply…
Driven phase-mixed Alfvén waves in a partially ionized solar plasma
Max McMurdo, Istvan Ballai, Gary Verth +1
Phase mixing has long been understood to be a viable mechanism for expediting the dissipation of Alfvén wave energy resulting in the subsequent heating of the solar atmosphere. To…
