Magnetic reconnection: MHD theory and modelling

DI Pontin, ER Priest - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2022 - Springer
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 …

From coronal observations to MHD simulations, the building blocks for 3D models of solar flares (invited review)

M Janvier, G Aulanier, P Démoulin - Solar Physics, 2015 - Springer
Solar flares are energetic events taking place in the Sun's atmosphere, and their effects can
greatly impact the environment of the surrounding planets. In particular, eruptive flares, as …

Ultra-high-resolution observations of persistent null-point reconnection in the solar corona

X Cheng, ER Priest, HT Li, J Chen, G Aulanier… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Magnetic reconnection is a key mechanism involved in solar eruptions and is also a prime
possibility to heat the low corona to millions of degrees. Here, we present ultra-high …

Why is the great solar active region 12192 flare-rich but CME-poor?

X Sun, MG Bobra, JT Hoeksema, Y Liu… - The Astrophysical …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Solar active region (AR) 12192 of 2014 October hosts the largest sunspot group in 24 years.
It is the most prolific flaring site of Cycle 24 so far, but surprisingly produced no coronal mass …

Flare-CME models: an observational perspective (invited review)

B Schmieder, G Aulanier, B Vršnak - Solar physics, 2015 - Springer
Eruptions, flares, and coronal mass ejection (CMEs) are due to physical phenomena mainly
driven by an initially force-free current-carrying magnetic field. We review some key …

A Possible Mechanism for the “Late Phase” in Stellar White-light Flares

KE Yang, X Sun, GS Kerr… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org

exhibit a peak-bump light-curve morphology, characterized by a secondary, gradual peak …

Three-dimensional simulations of tearing and intermittency in coronal jets

PF Wyper, CR DeVore, JT Karpen… - The Astrophysical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Observations of coronal jets increasingly suggest that local fragmentation and intermittency
play an important role in the dynamics of these events. In this work, we investigate this …

Observation of two splitting processes in a partial filament eruption on the sun: the role of breakout reconnection

Z Sun, T Li, H Tian, Y Hou, Z Hou, H Chen… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
