The solar coronal magnetic field is proposed to be in a self-organized critical state, thus
explaining the observed power-law dependence of solar-flare-occurrence rate on flare size …

The contention of Lu and Hamilton (1991) that the energy release process in solar flares can
be understood as avalanches of many small reconnection events is further developed. The …

We present a design concept for a spacecraft that can controllably alter the trajectory of an
Earth-threatening asteroid by using gravity as a towline. The spacecraft hovers near the …
