Influence of Solar Sails on Magnetic Field Measurements in Space Plasmas

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Solar sail technology is ready to be deployed in a satellite mission carrying a science‐grade magnetometer. In preparation for such a mission, it is essential to characterize the interactions between the sail and the ambient plasma that could affect the magnetometer readings.

Investigating Alfvénic wave propagation in coronal open-field regions

, 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.

Coexistence of Decaying and Decayless Kink Oscillations in a Bundle of Coronal Loops Triggered by an X6.3 Solar Flare

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the coexistence of decaying and decayless kink oscillations within a single bundle of coronal loops during the X6.3-class solar flare on 2024 February 22.

Identifying and Predicting Coronal Mass Ejection Occurrence: Observational Checklists for Space Weather Forecasters

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Ejections of magnetized plasma from the Sun, known as coronal mass ejections, can drive major geomagnetic activity if Earth‐directed, and are therefore monitored by space weather forecasters. The current focus being the forecast of the arrival time of a coronal mass ejection at Earth and the level of geomagnetic impact.

Particle acceleration in the presence of weak turbulence at an X-type neutral point [PDF]

, 2012
We simulate the likely noisy situation near a reconnection region by superposing many 2D linear reconnection eigenmodes. The superposition of modes on the steady state X-type magnetic field creates multiple X- and O-type neutral points close to the ...

Identification of Nonlinear Damping of Transverse Loop Oscillations by KHI-induced Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal
Kink oscillations in coronal loops have been extensively studied for their potential contributions to coronal heating and their role in plasma diagnostics through coronal seismology. A key focus is the strong damping of large-amplitude kink oscillations,

Alfvénic Motions Arising from Asymmetric Acoustic Wave Drivers in Solar Magnetic Structures

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Alfvénic motions are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere and their observed properties are closely linked to those of photospheric p-modes. However, it is still unclear how a predominantly acoustic wave driver can produce these transverse oscillations in ...

The stability of solar coronal loops

The Astrophysical Journal, 1979
We have examined the stability of the ''quasi-static'' models of coronal loops. We find that all models in which the heat flux at the base of the loop is assumed to vanish are unstable to the growth of thermal perturbations. The growth rates and the profiles of the unstable modes indicate that the instability involves primarily the low-temperature ...

Advancing Heliophysics and Space Weather Modeling Through Open Science

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a community‐wide effort to develop a strategy and action plan to advance heliophysics and space weather modeling through open science. While open science has the potential to enhance the quality and pace of scientific discovery, its application to scientific modeling requires more careful consideration regarding open data and open ...
