  • Investigating prominence turbulence with Hinode SOT Dopplergrams 

    Hillier, Andrew Stephen; Matsumoto, T; Ichimoto, K (EDP SciencesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2016-10-10)
    Quiescent prominences host a diverse range of flows, including Rayleigh-Taylor instability driven upflows and impulsive downflows, and so it is no surprise that turbulent motions also exist. As prominences are believed to ...

  • The formation and evolution of reconnection-driven, slow-mode shocks in a partially ionised plasma 

    Hillier, Andrew Stephen; Takasao, S; Nakamura, N (EDP SciencesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2016)
    The role of slow-mode magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shocks in magnetic reconnection is of great importance for energy conversion and transport, but in many astrophysical plasmas the plasma is not fully ionised. In this paper, ...
