Predicting the magnetic vectors within coronal mass ejections arriving at Earth: 1. Initial Architecture
N. P. Savani, A. Vourlidas, A. Szabo +6
The process by which the Sun affects the terrestrial environment on short timescales is predominately driven by the amount of magnetic reconnection between the solar wind and Earth…
Global Trends of CME Deflections Based on CME and Solar Parameters
C. Kay, M. Opher, R. M. Evans
Accurate space weather forecasting requires knowledge of the trajectory of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), including any deflections close to the Sun or through interplanetary space…
Global Numerical Modeling of Energetic Proton Acceleration in a Coronal Mass Ejection Traveling through the Solar Corona
Kamen A. Kozarev, Rebekah M. Evans, Nathan A. Schwadron +4
The acceleration of protons and electrons to high (sometimes GeV/nucleon) energies by solar phenomena is a key component of space weather. These solar energetic particle (SEP) even…
Forecasting a Coronal Mass Ejection's Altered Trajectory: ForeCAT
Christina Kay, Merav Opher, Rebekah M. Evans
To predict whether a coronal mass ejection (CME) will impact Earth, the effects of the background on the CME's trajectory must be taken into account. We develop a model, ForeCAT (F…
Influence of the dissipation mechanism on collisionless magnetic reconnection in symmetric and asymmetric current layers
Nicolas Aunai, Michael Hesse, Carrie Black +2
Numerical studies implementing different versions of the collisionless Ohm's law have shown a reconnection rate insensitive to the nature of the non-ideal mechanism occuring at the…
Comparison between hybrid and fully kinetic models of asymmetric magnetic reconnection: coplanar and guide field configurations
Nicolas Aunai, Michael Hesse, Seiji Zenitani +4
Magnetic reconnection occurring in collisionless environments is a multi-scale process involving both ion and electron kinetic processes. Because of their small mass, the electron…
MHD Waves and Coronal Heating: Unifying Empirical and MHD Turbulence Models
Igor V. Sokolov, Bart van der Holst, Rona Oran +6
We present a new global model of the solar corona, including the low corona, the transition region and the top of chromosphere. The realistic 3D magnetic field is simulated using t…
Surface Alfven Wave Damping in a 3D Simulation of the Solar Wind
R. M. Evans, M. Opher, V. Jatenco-Pereira +1
Here we investigate the contribution of surface Alfven wave damping to the heating of the solar wind in minima conditions. These waves are present in regions of strong inhomogeneit…
