In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

The magnetic field in many astrophysical plasmas–such as the solar corona and Earth's
magnetosphere–has been shown to have a highly complex, three-dimensional structure …

Flare ribbons are commonly attributed to the low-altitude impact, along the footprints of
separatrices or quasi-separatrix layers (QSLs), of particle beams accelerated through …

Recent solar observations (eg, obtained with Hinode and STEREO) have revealed that
coronal jets are a more frequent phenomenon than previously believed. This higher …

Solar flare emissions in the chromosphere often appear as elongated ribbons on both sides
of the magnetic polarity inversion line (PIL), which has been regarded as evidence of a …

Recent advances in theory and computational experiments have shown the need to refine
the previous categorization of magnetic reconnection at three-dimensional null points …

Context. This paper extends the models of Craig & McClymont (1991, ApJ, 371, L41) and
McLaughlin & Hood (2004, A&A, 420, 1129) to include finite β and nonlinear effects. Aims …

Circular ribbon flares are usually related to spine-fan type magnetic topology containing null
points. In this paper, we investigate an X-class circular ribbon flare on 2012 October 23 …

We present a comprehensive review of MHD wave behaviour in the neighbourhood of
coronal null points: locations where the magnetic field, and hence the local Alfvén speed, is …

Magnetic separators are important locations of three‐dimensional magnetic reconnection.
They are field lines that lie along the edges of four flux domains and represent the …
