Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Flares

这笔赠款将继续NSF资助的数字和 太阳耀斑中磁重联的分析研究。 新 工作将扩大研究领域，包括更多种类的 可能的火炬配置，包括火炬的后期阶段 进化 为了在这方面帮助支持研究生研究， 将提供助手。 磁场重联是实验室中的一个基本过程， 空间和天体物理等离子体。 这里资助的团体 阐明了重新连接的一些主要特征， 其他研究人员二十多年的研究成果。

This grant will continue NSF funding for a numerical and analytical study of magnetic reconnection in solar flares. The new work will extend the area of research to include a greater variety of possible flare configurations and include the later phases of flare evolution. To help in this respect support for a graduate research assistant will be provided. Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasmas. The group funded here has elucidated some of the main features of reconnection thus clarifying some twenty years of work by other researchers.
