A General Theory of Connectivity and Current Sheets in Coronal Magnetic Fields Anchored to Discrete Sources
A scheme is presented for mapping the connectivity of a potential magnetic field arising from an arbitrary distribution of discrete sources. The field lines interconnecting the sources are classified into Nd domains, defining the field’s connectivity. The number of domains is shown to depend on the number of sources and on the numbers of nulls and separators according to a simple relation. A cl...
متن کاملCurrent sheets in two-dimensional potential magnetic fields
We study the spontaneous formation of a current sheet (CS) in an x-invariant y-symmetric magnetic field B(y, z, t) occupying the half-space {z > 0}, and embedded in a pressureless perfectly conducting plasma. At the initial time t = 0, B(y, z, 0) is potential and quadrupolar, and therefore its lines in a poloidal plane have a complex topology: there is either one separatrix, which contains a ne...
متن کاملJet Acceleration by Tangled Magnetic Fields
We explore the possibility that extragalactic radio jets might be accelerated by highly disorganized magnetic fields that are strong enough to dominate the dynamics until the terminal Lorentz factor is reached. Following the twin-exhaust model by Blandford & Rees (1974), the collimation under this scenario is provided by the stratified thermal pressure from an external medium. The acceleration ...
متن کاملMicrowave Background Signals from Tangled Magnetic Fields
An inhomogeneous cosmological magnetic field will create Alfvén-wave modes that induce a small rotational velocity perturbation on the last scattering surface of the microwave background radiation. The Alfvén-wave mode survives Silk damping on much smaller scales than the compressional modes. This, in combination with its rotational nature, ensures that there will be no sharp cut-off in anisotr...
متن کاملFeatures and Properties of Coronal Mass Ejection/flare Current Sheets
Solar eruptions occur when magnetic energy is suddenly converted into heat and kinetic energy by magnetic reconnection in a current sheet (CS). It is often assumed that CSs are too thin to be observable because the electric resistivity in CSs is taken to be very small. In this work, we show the implications for the CS thickness he d estimated from observations of three eruptions by the UVCS and...
