Magnetic Reconnection 1

[HEDS5-02(Invited)] Testing Plasma Physics with Multi-wavelength Observations & Radiative MHD Simulations of Solar Flares

*Mark C. M. Cheung¹ (1. CSIRO Space & Astronomy)

Remote sensing of the Sun across the electromagnetic spectrum provides important constraints on a range of (astro)physical phenomena, including magnetic reconnection, magnetised shocks, dynamo action, magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, particle acceleration, solar/stellar flares, and more. In this talk, we will explore a few of these topics with data from spaceborne and ground-based observatories, using them to evaluate state-of-the-art numerical models.
