MHD simulations of coronal heating [PDF]

, 2015
The problem of heating the solar corona requires the conversion of magnetic energy into thermal energy. Presently, there are two promising mechanisms for heating the solar corona: wave heating and nanoflare heating.

MHD turbulence and heating of the open field-line solar corona [PDF]

, 2003
This paper discusses the possibility that heating of the solar corona in open field-line regions emanating from coronal holes is due to a nonlinear cascade, driven by low-frequency or quasi-static magnetohydrodynamic fluctuations.

Current sheets in the solar corona : formation, fragmentation and heating [PDF]

, 2011
In this thesis we investigate current sheets in the solar corona. The well known 1D model for the tearing mode instability is presented, before progressing to 2D where we introduce a non-uniform resistivity.

Photospheric magnetic vortex structures [PDF]

, 2011
Using direct numerical magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, we demonstrate the evidence of two physically different types of vortex motions in the solar photosphere.

Investigating Alfvénic wave propagation in coronal open-field regions [PDF]

, 2015
The physical mechanisms behind accelerating solar and stellar winds are a long-standing astrophysical mystery, although recent breakthroughs have come from models invoking the turbulent dissipation of Alfvén waves.

3D reconstruction of coronal loops by the principal component analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Knowing the three dimensional structure of plasma filaments in the uppermost part of the solar atmosphere, known as coronal loops, and especially their length, is an important parameter in the wave-based diagnostics of this part of the Sun.

Effect of structuring on coronal loop oscillations [PDF]

, 2007
In this Thesis the theoretical understanding of oscillations in coronal structures is developed. In particular, coronal loops are modelled as magnetic slabs of plasma.

Steadiness of Coronal Heating

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The EUI instrument on the Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the most stable, high-resolution images of the solar corona from its orbit with a perihelion near 0.4 au.

Electron and proton heating by solar wind turbulence [PDF]

, 2009
Previous formulations of heating and transport associated with strong magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence are generalized to incorporate separate internal energy equations for electrons and protons. Electron heat conduction is included.
