Parametric Study of the Torus Instability Threshold
Jun Chen, Bernhard Kliem, Rui Liu
The torus instability of an arched current channel has been suggested to initiate and drive major solar and stellar eruptions. Its threshold, given by the critical decay index of t…
FastQSL 2: A Comprehensive Toolkit for Magnetic Connectivity Analysis
Jun Chen, Thomas Wiegelmann, Li Feng +2
We present a new version of FastQSL for locating quasi-separatrix layers (QSLs) -- regions characterized by strong magnetic connectivity gradients, preferential current buildup, an…
Observations of a Failed Solar Filament Eruption Involving External Reconnection
Yuehong Chen, Xin Cheng, Jun Chen +2
We report a failed solar filament eruption that involves external magnetic reconnection in a quadrupolar magnetic configuration. The evolution exhibits three kinematic evolution ph…
A Model for Confined Solar Eruptions Including External Reconnection
Jun Chen, Xin Cheng, Bernhard Kliem +1
The violent disruption of the coronal magnetic field is often observed to be restricted to the low corona, appearing as a confined eruption. The possible causes of the confinement…
FastQSL: A Fast Computation Method for Quasi-separatrix Layers
Peijin Zhang, Jun Chen, Rui Liu +1
Magnetic reconnection preferentially takes place at the intersection of two separatrices or two quasi-separatrix layers, which can be quantified by the squashing factor Q, whose ca…
Formation of Magnetic Flux Rope during Solar Eruption. I. Evolution of Toroidal Flux and Reconnection Flux
Chaowei Jiang, Jun Chen, Aiying Duan +5
Magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) constitute the core structure of coronal mass ejections (CMEs), but hot debates remain on whether the MFR forms before or during solar eruptions. Further…
