Quasi-Periodic Pulsations Driven by Structural Oscillations in a Kink-Unstable Flaring Coronal Loop
James Stewart, Philippa K. Browning, Mykola Gordovskyy
Twisted coronal loops in the solar atmosphere may become kink-unstable when their magnetic field lines are sufficiently twisted. This instability can trigger magnetic reconnection,…

The effects of resistivity on oscillatory reconnection and consequences for solar flare Quasi Periodic Pulsations
Luiz A. C. A. Schiavo, James Stewart, Philippa K. Browning
Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) are often observed in flare emissions. While these may reveal much about the time-dependent reconnection involved in flare energy release, the unde…
