Solar prominences formed self-consistently in 3D simulations
What the study found The study found that solar prominences can form self-consistently in fully three-dimensional simulations when the magnetic field is set with appropriate initial conditions. In the simulations, a prominence began with a random ejection of dense plasma seed material from the chromosphere, the Sun’s lower atmospheric layer, into the corona. Why the…
Cold ions enable ion-acoustic waves in asymmetric reconnection
Particle-in-cell simulations characterize ion-acoustic wave excitation and energy transfer mechanisms in asymmetric magnetic reconnection with cold ion populations.
