The spatial and temporal variations of turbulence in a solar flare

M Stores, NLS Jeffrey, EP Kontar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Magnetohydrodynamic plasma turbulence is believed to play a vital role in the production of
energetic electrons during solar flares, and the nonthermal broadening of spectral lines is a …

Turbulent kinetic energy in the energy balance of a solar flare

EP Kontar, JE Perez, LK Harra, AA Kuznetsov… - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
The energy released in solar flares derives from a reconfiguration of magnetic fields to a
lower energy state, and is manifested in several forms, including bulk kinetic energy of the …

Non-thermal broadening of coronal lines in a 3D MHD loop model

CA Breu, H Peter, SK Solanki… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Observed spectral profiles of emission lines from the corona are found to have widths
exceeding the thermal line width. To investigate the physical mechanism, we run a 3D …

Forward modeling of particle acceleration and transport in an individual solar flare

M Gordovskyy, PK Browning, S Inoue… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The aim of this study is to generate maps of the hard X-ray emission produced by energetic
electrons in a solar flare and compare them with observations. The ultimate goal is to test the …

Comparison of active region upflow and core properties using simultaneous spectroscopic observations from IRIS and Hinode

K Barczynski, L Harra, L Kleint, B Panos… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. The origin of the slow solar wind is still an open issue. It has been suggested that
upflows at the edge of active regions are a possible source of the plasma outflow and …

The effects of driving time scales on coronal heating in a stratified atmosphere

TA Howson, I De Moortel - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2022 - aanda.org
Aims. We investigate the atmospheric response to coronal heating driven by random velocity
fields with different characteristic time scales and amplitudes. Methods. We conducted a …

Combining MHD and kinetic modelling of solar flares

M Gordovskyy, P Browning, RF Pinto - Advances in Space Research, 2019 - Elsevier
Solar flares are explosive events in the solar corona, representing fast conversion of
magnetic energy into thermal and kinetic energy, and hence radiation, due to magnetic …

Frequency–Distance Structure of Solar Radio Sources Observed by LOFAR

M Gordovskyy, E Kontar, P Browning… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Low-frequency radio observations make it possible to study the solar corona at distances up
to 2–3 R☉. Frequency of plasma emission is a proxy for electron density of the emitting …

Spectroscopic and imaging observations of spatially extended magnetic reconnection in the splitting of a solar filament structure

H Hu, YD Liu, LP Chitta, H Peter… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract On the Sun, Doppler shifts of bidirectional outflows from the magnetic-reconnection
site have been found only in confined regions through spectroscopic observations. Without …
