Hydrodynamic instabilities such as Rayleigh–Taylor (RT) and Richtmyer–Meshkov (RM)
instabilities usually appear in conjunction with the Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability and are …

Magnetic fields suspend the relatively cool material of solar prominences in an otherwise hot
corona. A comprehensive understanding of solar prominences ultimately requires complex …

In the lower solar atmosphere, the chromosphere is permeated by jets known as spicules, in
which plasma is propelled at speeds of 50 to 150 kilometers per second into the corona. The …

Partially ionized plasmas are found across the Universe in many different astrophysical
environments. They constitute an essential ingredient of the solar atmosphere, molecular …

Hinode is Japan's third solar mission following Hinotori (1981–1982) and Yohkoh (1991–
2001): it was launched on 2006 September 22 and is in operation currently. Hinode carries …

Solar prominences are long-lived cool and dense plasma curtains in the hot and rarefied
outer solar atmosphere or corona. The physical mechanism responsible for their formation …

Context. Overly idealised representations of solar filaments and prominences in numerical
simulations have long limited their morphological comparison against observations …

Abstract The magnetic Rayleigh–Taylor instability is a fundamental instability of many
astrophysical systems, and recent observations are consistent with this instability developing …

We present results from Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of Rayleigh–Taylor instability at
Atwood numbers up to 0.9. After the layer width had developed substantially, additional …

Partially ionized plasmas (PIP) constitute an essential ingredient of our plasma universe.
Historically, the physical effects associated with partial ionization were considered in …
