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 …

Due to the increase in the spatial and temporal resolution of observations of the solar
atmosphere, which is mainly associated with progress in space research, we now …

Context. Coronal loops are the basic building block of the upper solar atmosphere as seen
in the extreme UV and X-rays. Comprehending how these are energized, structured, and …

We present a 3D MHD simulation of two merging flux ropes exhibiting self-generated and
self-sustaining turbulent reconnection (SGTR) that is fully 3D and fast. The exploration of …

Abstract Parker (Astrophys J 174: 499, 1972) put forward a hypothesis regarding the
fundamental nature of equilibrium magnetic fields in astrophysical plasmas. He proposed …

We examine the turbulent relaxation of solar coronal loops containing non-trivial field line
braiding. Such field line tangling in the corona has long been postulated in the context of …

Aims. We investigate the propagation of transverse magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave
fronts through a coronal plasma containing a braided magnetic field. Methods. We …

For any (analytic) axisymmetric toroidal domain\(\Omega\subset\mathbb {R}^ 3\) we prove
that there is a locally generic set of divergence-free vector fields that are not topologically …

Magnetic null points are an important aspect of the magnetic field structure of the solar
corona and can be sites of enhanced dissipation. This paper uses analytical and numerical …
