Instabilities in Large-scale Magnetic Reconnection Associated with Eruptive Solar Events
Dr. Lijia Guo (Max-Planck-Institute for Solar System Research) Seminar room 3, 15:00
The solar corona is a unique laboratory for plasma dynamics. Coronal eruptive events provide a chance to test theory and numerical simulation of magnetic reconnection processes. The time scales of solar eruptive events indicate the existence of fast reconnection. New developments in reconnection theory provide convincing mechanisms for fast reconnection based on two plasma instabilities. This talk will focus on these two instabilities. After a general introduction of solar eruptive events and the recent progress in magnetic reconnection study, the second part of the talk will be about a detailed study of two instabilities via a combined approach of numerical simulation and observational data analysis.
