Journal ArticleDOI
Disruption of Coronal Magnetic Field Arcades
Zoran Mikic,Jon A. Linker +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic field expands outward in a process that opens the field lines and produces a tangential discontinuity, leading to an impulsive release of magnetic energy, fast flows, and the ejection of a plasmoid.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Twisted Flux Rope Model for Coronal Mass Ejections and Two-Ribbon Flares
TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to create a highly nonlinear three-dimensional force-free configuration consisting of a twisted magnetic flux rope representing the magnetic structure of a prominence and exhibiting an S-shaped structure, as observed in soft X-ray sigmoid structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
CME Theory and Models
Terry G. Forbes,Jon A. Linker,James Chen,Consuelo Cid,József Kóta,M. A. Lee,G. Mann,Zoran Mikic,M. S. Potgieter,J. M. Schmidt,George Siscoe,Rami Vainio,Spiro K. Antiochos,Pete Riley +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of current efforts in the theory and modeling of CMEs, focusing on how energy stored in the coronal magnetic field can be released violently to drive CME driven shocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multispectral emission of the sun during the first whole sun month: magnetohydrodynamic simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the corona was proposed to model its global plasma density and temperature structure with sufficient accuracy to reproduce many of the multispectral properties observed in extreme ultraviolet (EW) and X-ray emission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetohydrodynamic modeling of the global solar corona
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic model of the global solar corona is described, which uses observed photospheric magnetic fields as a boundary condition, and a version of the model with a polytropic energy equation is used to interpret solar observations, including eclipse images of the corona, Ulysses spacecraft measurements of the interplanetary magnetic field, and coronal hole boundaries from Kitt Peak He 10 830 A maps.
