Removing the Pressure Limitations on Flux Pile-Up Reconnection
In a recent Letter, Litvinenko, Forbes, and Priest (1996) claimed that the rate of the very fast flux-pile up reconnection is severely limited by the effects of plasma pressure. They considered however only tw...

Magnetoacoustic-gravity surface waves
The linearized theory for the parallel propagation of magnetoacoustic-gravity surface waves is developed and a dispersion relation obtained for the case of an isothermal interface of a uniform horizontal magne...

Resistive ballooning line-tied boundary conditions
Ideal and resistive ballooning modes are investigated for different ratios of a two-layer stratified density region representing a model for the photospheric/coronal boundary. Construction of the ballooning eq...
