Kappa distributions and with loss cone features have been frequently observed with flares emissions with the signatures of Lower hybrid waves. We have analysed the plasma with Kappa distributions and with loss cone features for the drift wave instabilities in perpendicular propagation for Large flare and Normal flare and Coronal condition . While analysing the growth/damping rate, we understand that the growth of propagation of EM waves increases with kappa distribution index for all the three cases. In comparing the propagation large flare shows lesser growth in compared with the normal and the coronal plasmas. When added the loss cone features to Kappa distributions, we find that the damping of EM wave propagation takes place. The damping rate EM waves is increases with perpendicular temperature and loss cone index l, in all the three cases but damping is very high for large flare and then normal in comparision with coronal condition. This shows that the lower hybrid damping may be the source of coronal heating.

The solar atmosphere is composed of many species which are populated at different ionization and excitation levels. The upper chromosphere, transition region, and corona are nearly collisionless. Consequently, slippage between, for instance, ions and neutral particles, or interactions between separate species, may play important roles. We have developed a 3D multi-fluid and multi-species numerical code (Ebysus) to investigate such effects. Ebysus is capable of treating species (e.g., hydrogen, helium, etc) and fluids (neutrals, excited and ionized elements) separately, including non-equilibriu…
Modeling fast solar wind based on the kinetic theory is an important task for scientists. In this paper, we present a two-fluid model for fast solar wind with anisotropic Kappa-Maxwellian electrons and Bi-Maxwellian protons. In the simulation, the energy exchange between the plasma particles and low-frequency Alfvén waves is considered. A set of eleven coupled equations is derived by applying the zeroth- to fourth-order moments of the Vlasov equation and the modified electromagnetic Maxwell equations. A characteristic of the Kappa distribution (indicated by $κ$ index) is explicit in the equati…
The chromosphere is a partially ionized layer of the solar atmosphere, the transition between the photosphere where the gas motion is determined by the gas pressure and the corona dominated by the magnetic field. We study the effect of partial ionization for 2D wave propagation in a gravitationally stratified, magnetized atmosphere with properties similar to the solar chromosphere. We adopt an oblique uniform magnetic field in the plane of propagation with strength suitable for a quiet sun region. The theoretical model used is a single fluid magnetohydrodynamic approximation, where ion-neutral…
The plasma of the lower solar atmosphere consists of mostly neutral particles, whereas the upper solar atmosphere is mostly ionised particles and electrons. A shock that propagates upwards in the solar atmosphere therefore undergoes a transition where the dominant fluid is either neutral or ionised. An upwards propagating shock also passes a point where the sound and Alfvén speed are equal. At this point the energy of the acoustic shock can separated into fast and slow components. How the energy is distributed between the two modes depends on the angle of magnetic field. The separation of neut…

We perform a series of numerical simulations to recreate small-scale two-fluid jets using the JOANNA code, considering the magnetohydrodynamics of two fluids (ions + electrons and neutral particles). We first excite the jets in a uniform magnetic field by using velocity pulse perturbations located at $y_{0}=$1.3, 1.5, and 1.8 Mm, considering the base of the photosphere at $y=0$ Mm. Then, we repeat the excitation of the jets in a magnetic field that mimics a flux tube. Mainly, the jets excited at the upper chromosphere ($y\sim1.8$ Mm) reach lower heights than those excited at the lower chromosp…
As is well known, CME propagation often results in the fragmentation of the solar atmosphere on smaller regions of density (magnetic field) enhancement (depletion). It is expected that this type of fragmentation may have radio signatures. The general aim of the present paper is to perform a comparative analysis of type III solar and narrow-band type-III-like radio burst properties before and during CME events, respectively. The main goal is to analyze radio observational signatures of the dynamical processes in solar corona. In particular, we aim to perform a comparison of local plasma paramet…
Ambipolar diffusion is a physical mechanism related to the drift between charged and neutral particles in a partially ionized plasma that is key in many different astrophysical systems. However, understanding its effects is challenging due to basic uncertainties concerning relevant microphysical aspects and the strong constraints it imposes on the numerical modeling. Our aim is to introduce a numerical tool that allows us to address complex problems involving ambipolar diffusion in which, additionally, departures from ionization equilibrium are important or high resolution is needed. The prima…
During solar flares plasma is typically heated to very high temperatures, and the resulting redistribution of energy via thermal conduction is a primary mechanism transporting energy throughout the flaring solar atmosphere. The thermal flux is usually modeled using Spitzer's theory, which is based on local Coulomb collisions between the electrons carrying the thermal flux and those in the background. However, often during flares, temperature gradients become sufficiently steep that the collisional mean free path exceeds the temperature gradient scale size, so that thermal conduction becomes in…
