Electron temperatures during rapid subauroral ion drift events by R. J. Moffett, A. E. Ennis, G. J. Bailey, R. A. Heelis, L. H. Brace

“…The Sheffield University plasmasphere-ionosphere model (SUPIM) is used to perform calculations in which a model SAID is applied to a plasma flux tube. The model results indicate that strongly elevated ion temperature (a recognised signature of SAID events) is on occasion sufficient to raise <i>T_e</i> to observed values by ion-electron heat transfer. …”

Stability of Slow Magnetoacoustic and Entropy Waves in the Solar Coronal Plasma with Thermal Misbalance by Dmitrii Y. Kolotkov, Valery M. Nakariakov, Joseph B. Fihosy

“…Effects of the magnetic field are accounted for by including it in the parametrization of a guessed coronal heating function, and the finite plasma parameter <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>β</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>, in terms of the first-order thin flux tube approximation. Thermal conduction tends to stabilize both slow and entropy modes, broadening the interval of plausible coronal heating functions allowing for the existence of a thermodynamically stable corona. …”

The Equilibrium of Coronal Loops Near Separatrices by Emily I Mason, Spiro K Antiochos, Stephen Bradshaw

Improved Method for Distributed Parameter Model of Solenoid Valve Based on Kriging Basis Function Predictive Identification Program by Jiaxin You, Kun Zhang, Huimin Liang, Xiangdong Feng, Yonggang Ruan

“…They can be summarized as follows: Firstly, the estimation error of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) permeance is caused directly by the deviation of the magnetic flux tube due to the segmented magnetic field line. …”

The azimuthal extent of three flux transfer events by R. C. Fear, S. E. Milan, A. N. Fazakerley, E. A. Lucek, S. W. H. Cowley, I. Dandouras

“…The location of the Cluster spacecraft when they observed this FTE suggests that it is inconsistent with the simple interpretation of an "elbow-shaped" flux tube. The FTE's azimuthal extent suggests that it was more likely generated at a comparatively long reconnection line or lines, although the magnetic shear across the magnetopause is not high enough to exclude the "elbow-shaped" model entirely.…”

Sensitivity of detachment extent to magnetic configuration and external parameters by Lipschultz, B, Parra Diaz, F, Hutchinson, I

“…We believe this model is applicable more generally to any thermal fronts in flux tubes with varying magnetic field, and similar sources and sinks, such as detachment fronts in stellarator divertors and solar prominences in coronal loops.…”

Imaging riometer observations of drifting absorption patches in the morning sector by R. A. Makarevitch, F. Honary, I. W. McCrea, V. S. C. Howells

“…These results are consistent with the notion that relatively slow motions of the auroral absorption near the zonal drift reversals are associated with the drift of the entire magnetic flux tube as opposed to the gradient-curvature drift of energetic electrons injected into the ionosphere at the substorm onset. …”

Plasma depletion layer: its dependence on solar wind conditions and the Earth dipole tilt by Y. L. Wang, J. Raeder, C. T. Russell

Interplanetary transport of solar near-relativistic electrons on 2014 August 1 over a narrow range of heliolongitudes by Pacheco Daniel, Agueda Neus, Gómez-Herrero Raúl, Aran Angels

“…Since the interplanetary transport conditions of solar energetic particles (SEPs) have a direct influence on the characteristics of the observed temporal profiles and the particle anisotropies at the spacecraft location, our aim is to understand if the observations on 2014 August 1 could be explained by different interplanetary transport conditions along each flux tube connecting the spacecraft with the solar source. …”
