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 …

The ambipolar diffusion approximation is used to model partially ionized plasma dynamics
in a single-fluid setting. To correctly apply the commonly used version of ambipolar diffusion …

Context. Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental mechanism in astrophysics. A common
challenge in mimicking this process numerically in particular for the Sun is that the solar …

Our understanding of magnetic reconnection (MR) under chromospheric conditions remains
limited. Recent observations have demonstrated the important role of ion–neutral …

We analyzed multiline observations of a quiescent prominence from the slit spectrograph
located at the Ondřejov Observatory. Dopplergrams and integrated intensity maps of the …

In high-Lundquist-number plasmas, reconnection proceeds via the onset of tearing, followed
by a nonlinear phase during which plasmoids continuously form, merge, and are ejected …

We report our results from a set of high-resolution, two-fluid, non-linear simulations of the
magnetized Rayleigh Taylor instability (RTI) at the interface between a solar prominence …

Context. Density decreases exponentially with height in the gravitationally stratified solar
atmosphere, and therefore collisional coupling between the ionized plasma and the neutrals …

Plasmoid-mediated fast magnetic reconnection plays a fundamental role in driving explosive
dynamics and heating, but relatively little is known about how it develops in partially ionized …

In weak magnetic fields (), parallel and perpendicular viscosities, mainly from neutrals, may
exceed magnetic diffusivities (Ohm, Hall, and ambipolar) in the middle and upper …
