  • Magnetic reconnection and the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in the solar corona 
    Howson, Thomas A.; De Moortel, Moortel; Pontin, David I. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2021)
    Context. The magnetic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) has been proposed as a means of generating magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and encouraging wave energy dissipation in the solar corona, particularly within transversely ...
  • Parallel Plasma Loops and the Energization of the Solar Corona 
    Peter, Hardi; Chitta, Lakshmi Pradeep; Chen, Feng; Pontin, David I.; Winebarger, Amy R.; Golub, Leon; Savage, Sabrina L.; Rachmeler, Laurel A.; Kobayashi, Ken; Brooks, David H.; Cirtain, Jonathan W.; De Pontieu, Bart Walter; McKenzie, David E.; Morton, Richard J.; Testa, Paola; Tiwari, Sanjiv K.; Walsh, Robert W.; Warren, Harry P. (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    The outer atmosphere of the Sun is composed of plasma heated to temperatures well in excess of the visible surface. We investigate short cool and warm (<1 MK) loops seen in the core of an active region to address the role ...
