    • Spontaneous reconnection at a separator current layer : I. Nature of the reconnection 

      E. H. Stevenson, Julie; E. Parnell, Clare (2015-12) - Journal article
      Magnetic separators, which lie on the boundary between four topologically-distinct flux domains, are prime locations in three-dimensional magnetic fields for reconnection, especially in the magnetosphere between the planetary ...
    • Numerical simulations of footpoint driven coronal heating 

      O'Hara, Jennifer (University of St Andrews, 2016-06-24) - Thesis
      Magnetic field permeates the solar atmosphere and plays a crucial role in the dynamics, energetics and structures observed. In particular, magnetic flux tubes provide the structure for coronal loops that extend from the ...
    • Effects of thermal conduction and compressive viscosity on the period ratio of the slow mode 

      Macnamara, Cicely Krystyna; Roberts, Bernard (2010-06) - Journal article
      Aims: Increasing observational evidence of wave modes brings us to a closer understanding of the solar corona. Coronal seismology allows us to combine wave observations and theory to determine otherwise unknown parameters. ...
    • Stochastic modelling of chromosomal segregation : errors can introduce correction 

      Matzavinos, Anastasios; Roitershtein, Alexander; Shtylla, Blerta; Voller, Zachary; Liu, Sijia; Chaplain, Mark A.J. (2014-07) - Journal article
      Cell division is a complex process requiring the cell to have many internal checks so that division may proceed and be completed correctly. Failure to divide correctly can have serious consequences, including progression ...
    • The formation and eruption of magnetic flux ropes in solar and stellar coronae 

      Gibb, Gordon Peter Samuel (University of St Andrews, 2015-11-30) - Thesis
      Flux ropes are magnetic structures commonly found in the solar corona. They are thought to play an important role in solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Understanding their formation and eruption is of paramount ...
