In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

Magnetic waves are a relevant component in the dynamics of the solar atmosphere. Their
significance has increased because of their potential as a remote diagnostic tool and their …

ABSTRACT NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) small explorer mission
will study how the solar atmosphere is energized. IRIS contains an imaging spectrograph …

Magnetic flux emergence from the solar convection zone into the overlying atmosphere is
the driver of a diverse range of phenomena associated with solar activity. In this article, we …

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

Magnetic reconnection in the partially ionized solar chromosphere is studied in 2.5
dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations including radiative cooling and ambipolar …

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 …

We derive self-consistent formalism for the description of multi-component partially ionized
solar plasma, by means of the coupled equations for the charged and neutral components …

The thermal structure of the chromosphere is regulated through a complex interaction of
various heating processes, radiative cooling, and the ionization degree of the plasma. Here …

Vortex flows, related to solar convective turbulent dynamics at granular scales and their
interplay with magnetic fields within intergranular lanes, occur abundantly on the solar …
