Modeling solar coronal bright point oscillations with multiple nanoflare heated loops
read the original abstract
Intensity oscillations of coronal bright points (BPs) have been studied for past several years. It has been known for a while that these BPs are closed magnetic loop like structures. However, initiation of such intensity oscillations is still an enigma. There have been many suggestions to explain these oscillations, but modeling of such BPs have not been explored so far. Using a multithreaded nanoflare heated loop model we study the behavior of such BPs in this work. We compute typical loop lengths of BPs using potential field line extrapolation of available data (Chandrashekhar et al. 2013), and set this as the length of our simulated loops. We produce intensity like observables through forward modeling and analyze the intensity time series using wavelet analysis, as was done by previous observers. The result reveals similar intensity oscillation periods reported in past observations. It is suggested these oscillations are actually shock wave propagations along the loop. We also show that if one considers different background subtractions, one can extract adiabatic standing modes from the intensity time series data as well, both from the observed and simulated data.

Recurrent Coronal Jets and QPPs: Periodic Reconnection and Localized Heating Across Quiet-Sun to Active Regions
Recurrent coronal jets show QPPs of 6-13 min periods driven by periodic reconnection, with flux periodicities and sub-cooling timescales implying persistent localized heating in fan-spine structures.
