Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is a ubiquitous dynamical state of astrophysical plasmas and a primary agent in the redistribution, dissipation, and conversion of energy into particle populations. Yet turbulence is still most often…
Prominences in the solar atmosphere represent an intriguing and delicate balance of forces and thermodynamics in an evolving magnetic topology. How this relatively cool material comes to reside at coronal heights, and what drives its…
Prominence threads are dense and cold structures lying on curved magnetic fields that can be suspended in the solar atmosphere against gravity. The gravitational stability of threads, in the absence of non-ideal effects, is comprehensively…
The fine structure of solar prominences is made by thin threads that outline the magnetic field lines. Observations show that transverse waves of Alfv\'enic nature are ubiquitous in prominence threads. These waves are driven at the…
Context. Plasma inflows accompany a variety of processes in the solar atmosphere such as heating of coronal loops and formation of prominences. Aims. We model a stratified solar atmosphere, within which a simulated prominence thread…

Large-scale coronal plasma evolutions can be adequately described by magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations. However, full multi-dimensional MHD simulations require substantial computational resources. Given the low plasma $\beta$ in the…

Coronal supra-arcade downflows (SADs) are observed as dark trails descending towards hot turbulent fan shaped regions. Due to the large temperature values, and gradients in these fan regions the thermal conduction should be very efficient.…
Prominence threads are very long and thin flux tubes which are partially filled with cold plasma. Observations have shown that transverse oscillations are frequent in these solar structures. The observations are usually interpreted as the…
We consider the conditions under which a rotating magnetic object can produce a magnetically powered outflow in an initially unmagnetized medium stratified under gravity. 3D MHD simulations are presented in which the footpoints of…
Observations of solar prominences reveal a complex, dynamic flow field within them. The flow field within quiescent prominences is characterized by long ``threads'' and dark ``bubbles'' that fall and rise (respectively) in a thin sheet. The…
The fine structure of solar prominences and filaments appears as thin and long threads in high-resolution images. In H-alpha observations of filaments, some threads can be observed for only 5 - 20 minutes before they seem to fade and…
Prominences, or filaments, are a striking phenomenon in the solar atmosphere. Besides their own rich features and dynamics, they are related to many other activities, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). In the past…
