Aims: Solar prominences contain a significant number of neutral species. The dynamics of the ionised and neutral fluids composing the prominence plasma can be...
Two-dimensional Radiative Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Partial Ionization in the Chromosphere. II. Dynamics and Energetics of the Low Solar Atmosphere
We investigate the effects of interactions between ions and neutrals on the chromosphere and overlying corona using 2.5D radiative MHD simulations with the...
Two-dimensional, high spatial resolution, solar spectroscopy using a correlation tracker. I. Correlation tracker description.
In this paper the description of the Solar Correlation Tracker prototype built by the Instituto de Astrof isica de Canarias is presented. The system is mainly...
Two-fluid simulations of Rayleigh-Taylor instability in a magnetized solar prominence thread. II. Effects of collisionality
Solar prominences are formed by partially ionized plasma with inter-particle collision frequencies generally warranting magnetohydrodynamic treatment. In this...
Two-fluid simulations of waves in the solar chromosphere. I. Numerical code verification
Solar chromosphere consists of a partially ionized plasma, which makes modeling the solar chromosphere a particularly challenging numerical task. Here we...
Ubiquitous seeding of supermassive black holes by direct collapse
We study for the first time the environment of massive black hole (BH) seeds (˜104-5 M⊙) formed via the direct collapse of pristine gas clouds in massive haloes...
Ultra-deep imaging of NGC 1052-DF2 and NGC 1052-DF4 to unravel their origins
A number of scenarios have been proposed to explain the low velocity dispersion (and hence possible absence of dark matter) of the low surface brightness...
Unbiased Large Spectroscopic Surveys of Galaxies Selected by SPICA Using Dust Bands
The mid-infrared range contains many spectral features associated with large molecules and dust grains such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and silicates...
Uncertainties in the solar photospheric oxygen abundance
Aims: The purpose of this work is to better understand the confidence limits of the photospheric solar oxygen abundance derived from three-dimensional models...
