We perform MHD modeling of a single bright coronal loop to include the interaction with a non-uniform magnetic field. The field is stressed by random footpoint rotation in the central region and its energy is dissipated into heating by…

The convection that takes place in the innermost shells of massive stars plays an important role in the formation of core-collapse supernova explosions. Upon encountering the supernova shock, additional turbulence is generated, amplifying…

Context. Gravitational waves (GW) provide a unique probe of the explosion mechanism of massive stars and the evolution of nascent proto-neutron stars (PNS). Magnetorotational explosions are one of the promising non-canonical core-collapse…

We investigate the propagation of MHD waves in a homogenous, magnetized plasma in a weakly stratified atmosphere, representing hot coronal loops. In most of earlier studies a time-independent equilibrium is considered. Here we abandon this…

The heating of the solar chromosphere and corona to the observed high temperatures, imply the presence of ongoing heating that balances the strong radiative and thermal conduction losses expected in the solar atmosphere. It has been…

We present a comprehensive physical model explaining the origin of Periodic Density Structures (PDS) observed in white-light coronagraphs with characteristic periods of approximately 45, 80, and 120 minutes. Through systematic investigation…

Coronal waves, significant solar phenomena, act as diagnostic tools for scientists studying solar atmosphere properties. Here, we present a novel observation detailing how a coronal wave event, associated with an X5.0 class flare,…

Coronal hole spatial-temporal evolution is studied and comparison made with that of the solar global magnetic field in cycles 21-23 (1976-2012). The latitude-longitude distribution dynamics of coronal holes and the regularities in the…

We examine the capability of a blast-wave scenario -associated to a coronal flare or to the expansion of CME flanks- to reproduce a chromospheric Moreton phenomenon. We also simulate the Moreton event of December 06, 2006 considering both…

A new condition for the linear dissipative instability of the strong plane shock wave in an arbitrary medium is obtained. The instability of the shock is realized due to the flow instability behind its front, which is similar to the known…

Waves launched from the neutron star surface or inner magnetosphere propagate through the magnetosphere as small perturbations, but can grow relative to the background magnetic field and steepen into ``monster shocks'' -- ultra-relativistic…

The process of diffusive shock acceleration relies on the efficacy with which hydromagnetic waves can scatter charged particles in the precursor of a shock. The growth of self-generated waves is driven by both resonant and non-resonant…
