Journal ArticleDOI
The detection of numerous magnetic separators in a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic model of solar emerging flux
TL;DR: In this article, magnetic separators are detected in complex magnetic fields resulting from a 3D resistive MHD model of flux emergence, and their properties, including their geometry, length, relationship to the magnetic null points, and integrated parallel electric field are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hinode observations and 3D magnetic structure of an X-ray bright point
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Hinode Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), X-Ray Telescope (XRT) and EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) observations of an X-ray bright point (XBP) observed on the 10, 11 of October 2007 over its entire lifetime (∼12 h).
Journal ArticleDOI
Is Null-Point Reconnection Important for Solar Flux Emergence?
TL;DR: The role of null-point reconnection in a three-dimensional numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of solar emerging flux is investigated in this paper, where the model consists of a twisted magnetic flux tube rising through a stratified convection zone and atmosphere to interact and reconnect with a horizontal overlying magnetic field in the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Topological Analysis of the Magnetic Breakout Model for an Eruptive Solar Flare
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take a topological approach to the study of the conditions required for the magnetic breakout phenomenon to occur and derive rules to predict the topological reconfiguration due to various types of bifurcation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coronal Magnetic Topologies in a Spherical Geometry I. Two Bipolar Flux Sources
TL;DR: In this paper, a new state with two spatially distinct separators connecting the same two magnetic null points, called the "dual intersecting" state, has been discovered.
