Solar flare arcade modeling: bridging the gap from 1D to 3D simulations of optically thin radiation
Solar flares are 3D phenomena, but modeling a flare in 3D, including many of the important
processes in the chromosphere, is a computational challenge. Accurately modeling the …

A model for gradual-phase heating driven by MHD turbulence in solar flares
W Ashfield, D Longcope - The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Coronal flare emission is commonly observed to decay on timescales longer than those
predicted by impulsively driven, one-dimensional flare loop models. This discrepancy is …

How does magnetic reconnection drive the early-stage evolution of coronal mass ejections?
Theoretically, coronal mass ejection (CME) kinematics are related to magnetic reconnection
processes in the solar corona. However, the current quantitative understanding of this …

Electron beams cannot directly produce coronal rain
Coronal rain is ubiquitous in flare loops, forming shortly after the onset of the solar flare.
Rain is thought to be caused by a thermal instability, a localized runaway cooling of material …
