The Imprint of Intermittent Interchange Reconnection on the Solar Wind (2022)
Journal Article
Wyper, P. F., DeVore, C., Antiochos, S., Pontin, D., Higginson, A. K., Scott, R., Masson, S., & Pelegrin-Frachon, T. (2022). The Imprint of Intermittent Interchange Reconnection on the Solar Wind. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 941(2), Article L29. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/aca8ae

The solar wind is known to be highly structured in space and time. Observations from Parker Solar Probe have revealed an abundance of so-called magnetic switchbacks within the near-Sun solar wind. In this Letter, we use a high-resolution, adaptive-me... Read More about The Imprint of Intermittent Interchange Reconnection on the Solar Wind.

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...

The Dynamic Structure of Coronal Hole Boundaries (2022)
Journal Article
Aslanyan, V., Pontin, D., Scott, R., Higginson, A., Wyper, P., & Antiochos, S. (2022). The Dynamic Structure of Coronal Hole Boundaries. Astrophysical Journal, 931(2), Article 96. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac69ed

The boundaries of solar coronal holes are difficult to uniquely define observationally but are sites of interest in part because the slow solar wind appears to originate there. The aim of this article is to explore the dynamics of interchange magneti... Read More about The Dynamic Structure of Coronal Hole Boundaries.

The Dynamic Coupling of Streamers and Pseudostreamers to the Heliosphere (2022)
Journal Article
Aslanyan, V., Pontin, D., Higginson, A., Wyper, P., Scott, R., & Antiochos, S. (2022). The Dynamic Coupling of Streamers and Pseudostreamers to the Heliosphere. Astrophysical Journal, 929(2), Article 185. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac5d5b

The slow solar wind is generally believed to result from the interaction of open and closed coronal magnetic flux at streamers and pseudostreamers. We use three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations to determine the detailed structure and dynam... Read More about The Dynamic Coupling of Streamers and Pseudostreamers to the Heliosphere.
