Affiliation:

Research Interests:
Dr. Longcope conducts theoretical research into the basic physics of magnetic fields in ionized plasmas and the application of these concepts to magnetic fields on the Sun. He has studied the storage and release of magnetic energy in the Sun's corona through a process known as reconnection. He has also studied the rise of slender strands of magnetic field from deep within the Sun up to the solar surface.

Research Interests:
I'm interested in astrophysical fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodymanics, particularly as it applies to the interior of the sun and other stars. Most of my recent work focuses on high-resolution numerical simulations of convection, turbulence, and shear in the solar interior and the implications all this has for solar dynamo theory and for detectable surface flows such as differential rotation and solar sub-surface weather. I've also done some work on turbulence and waves in interstellar molecular clouds.

Research Interests:
My research interests are in the solar physics, astrophysics and nonlinear wave theory. The key word in all my work is a wave (for me, it is something which can propagate somewhere). Particularly, I deal with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves, which are believed to be responsible for a number of astrophysical phenomena and are observed in the atmosphere of the Sun, solar wind and magnetosphere of the Earth (However, it seems that they can be found everywhere in the Universe, where there is a plasma penetrated by the magnetic field). Propagating through an inhomogeneous, non-stationary, nonlinear and sometimes active medium, such as the space plasma, MHD waves gain extremally interesting new properties leading to a number of amazing physical phenomena, like the existence of solitons, negative energy effects, self-organisation and many others.

Research Interests:
My primary research interests involve observational studies of the outer atmosphere of cool stars using UV, EUV, X-ray, and radio emissions from these stars. I am also interested in the local interstellar medium and its interactions with the winds of late-type stars. The Sun certainly falls within my purview, as I have analyzed observations of the Sun and heliosphere, in addition to my work on cool stars in general.
