Using Coronal Loops to Reconstruct the Magnetic Field of an Active Region Before and After a Major Flare
A. Malanushenko, C. Schrijver, M. L. DeRosa +1
The shapes of solar coronal loops are sensitive to the presence of electrical currents that are the carriers of the nonpotential energy available for impulsive activity. We use thi…
Nonlinear force-free modeling of the corona in spherical coordinates
S. A. Gilchrist, M. S. Wheatland
We present a code for solving the nonlinear force-free equations in spherical polar geometry, with the motivation of modeling the magnetic field in the corona. The code is an imple…
Bulk Energization of Electrons in Solar Flares by Alfvén Waves
D. B. Melrose, M. S. Wheatland
Bulk energization of electrons to keV in solar flares is attributed to dissipation of Alfvén waves that transport energy and potential downward to an acceleration regi…
Transfer of Energy, Potential, and Current by Alfvén Waves in Solar Flares
D. B. Melrose, M. S. Wheatland
Alfvén waves play three related roles in the impulsive phase of a solar flare: they transport energy from a generator region to an acceleration region; they map the cross-field pot…
