A minimal model of elastic instabilities in biological filament bundles (2022)
Journal Article
Panter, J., Kusumaatmaja, H., & Prior, C. (2022). A minimal model of elastic instabilities in biological filament bundles. Journal of the Royal Society. Interface, 19(194), Article 20220287. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsif.2022.0287

We present a model of a system of elastic fibres which exhibits complex, coupled, nonlinear deformations via a connecting elastic spring network. This model can capture physically observed deformations such as global buckling, pinching and internal c... Read More about A minimal model of elastic instabilities in biological filament bundles.

An exact threshold for separator bifurcation (2022)
Journal Article
Prior, C., & Wyper, P. (2022). An exact threshold for separator bifurcation. Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, 116(4), 321-349. https://doi.org/10.1080/03091929.2022.2085696

Reconnection involving magnetic separators is known to lead to the spontaneous generation of new separator pairs. In this work, we explore the bifurcation process for a system composed of a pair of null points with a joining separator. We begin with...

Magnetic Winding as an Indicator of Flare Activity in Solar Active Regions (2022)
Journal Article
Raphaldini, B., Prior, C. B., & MacTaggart, D. (2022). Magnetic Winding as an Indicator of Flare Activity in Solar Active Regions. Astrophysical Journal, 927(2), Article 156. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac4df9

Magnetic helicity is a measure of the entanglement of magnetic field lines used to characterize the complexity of solar active region (AR) magnetic fields. Previous attempts to use helicity-based indicators to predict solar eruptive/flaring events ha... Read More about Magnetic Winding as an Indicator of Flare Activity in Solar Active Regions.
