Energy redistribution during 2D oscillatory reconnection
Luiz A. C. A. Schiavo, Jordan Talbot, Gert J. J. Botha +4
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental energy release mechanism in solar and space plasmas. However, the distribution of released magnetic energy among kinetic and internal (therma…
Partially-ionised two-fluid shocks with collisional and radiative ionisation and recombination -- multi-level hydrogen model
B. Snow, M. Druett, A. Hillier
Explosive phenomena are known to trigger a wealth of shocks in warm plasma environments, including the solar chromosphere and molecular clouds where the medium consists of both ion…
The role of cooling induced by mixing in the mass and energy cycles of the solar atmosphere
Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow, Inigo Arregui
In many astrophysical systems, mixing between cool and hot temperature gas/plasma through Kelvin-Helmholtz-instability-driven turbulence leads to the formation of an intermediate t…
Shocks and instabilities in the partially ionised solar atmosphere
Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow
The low solar atmosphere is composed of mostly neutral particles, but the importance of the magnetic field for understanding observed dynamics means that interactions between charg…
Stability of two-fluid partially-ionised slow-mode shock fronts
Ben Snow, Andrew Hillier
A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shock front can be unstable to the corrugation instability, which causes a perturbed shock front to become increasingly corrugated with time. An ideal M…
Coalescence Instability in Chromospheric Partially Ionised Plasmas
Giulia Murtas, Andrew Hillier, Ben Snow
Fast magnetic reconnection plays a fundamental role in driving explosive dynamics and heating in the solar chromosphere. The reconnection time scale of traditional models is shorte…
