A Magnetic Reconnection model for Hot Explosions in the Cool Atmosphere of the Sun
Lei Ni, Yajie Chen, Hardi Peter +2
UV bursts and Ellerman bombs are transient brightenings observed in the low solar atmospheres of emerging flux regions. Observations have discovered the cospatial and cotemporal EB…
Magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas
Lei Ni, Hantao Ji, Nicholas A. Murphy +1
Magnetic reconnection has been intensively studied in fully ionized plasmas. However, plasmas are often partially ionized in astrophysical environments. The interactions between th…
Subarcsecond blobs in flare-related coronal jets
Q. M. Zhang, L. Ni
In this paper, we report our multiwavelength observations of subarcsecond blobs in coronal jets. In AR 12149, a C5.5 circular-ribbon flare occurred on 2014 August 24. Two jets (jet…
Onset of secondary instabilities and plasma heating during magnetic reconnection in strongly magnetized regions of the low solar atmosphere
Lei Ni, Vyacheslav S. Lukin
We numerically study magnetic reconnection on different spatial scales and at different heights in the weakly ionized plasma of the low solar atmosphere (around ~km above…
Magnetic reconnection in the low solar chromosphere with a more realistic radiative cooling model
Lei Ni, Vyacheslav S. Lukin, Nicholas A. Murphy +1
Magnetic reconnection is the most likely mechanism responsible for the high temperature events that are observed in strongly magnetized locations around the temperature minimum in…
Magnetic reconnection in strongly magnetized regions of the low solar chromosphere
Lei Ni, Vyacheslav S. Lukin, Nicholas A. Murphy +1
Magnetic reconnection in strongly magnetized regions around the temperature minimum region of the low solar atmosphere is studied by employing MHD-based simulations of a partially…
