Active regions often show S-shaped structures in the corona called sigmoids. These are highly sheared and twisted loops formed along the polarity inversion line. They are considered to be one of the best pre-eruption signatures for CMEs.…
Solar eruptive activities could occur in weak magnetic field environments and over large spatial scales, especially relevant to eruptions involving intermediate or quiescent solar filaments. To handle the large scales, we implement and…
The outer solar atmosphere, the corona, contains plasma at temperatures of more than a million K, more than 100 times hotter that solar surface. How this gas is heated is a fundamental question tightly interwoven with the structure of the…
The quality of today's research is often tightly limited to the available computing power and scalability of codes to many processors. For example, tackling the problem of heating the solar corona requires a most realistic description of…
