Resolving the solar prominence/filament paradox using the magnetic Rayleigh–Taylor instability
Prominences and filaments are manifestations of magnetized, levitated plasma within the solar coronal atmosphere. Their structure is assumed to be...

Chromospheric Evaporation by Particle Beams in Multi-Dimensional Flare Models
Evaporation of chromospheric plasma by particle beams has been a standard feature of models of solar flares for many decades, supported both by...

Influence of magnetic fields and bounding surface configurations on thermal convection in partially ionised plasmas: nonlinear and linear stability analyses
This study investigates the influence of a magnetic field on thermal convection within a PIP confined between distinct combinations of bounding...

On the Possibility of Heating the Solar Corona by Heat Fluxes from Coronal Magnetic Structures
We estimate the role of heat flux from hot magnetic loops and open flux tubes into the surrounding corona as a possible source of heating of the...

The magnetic Rayleigh–Taylor instability in solar prominences
The magnetic Rayleigh–Taylor instability is a fundamental instability of many astrophysical systems, and recent observations are consistent with this...

The origin of underdense plasma downflows associated with magnetic reconnection in solar flares
Magnetic reconnection is a universal process that powers explosive energy-release events such as solar flares, geomagnetic substorms and some...
