A new method to quantify and reduce projection error in whole-solar-active-region parameters measured from vector magnetograms

David A. Falconer, Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Ronald L. Moore +1

Projection error limits the use of vector magnetograms of active regions (ARs) far from disk center. In this Letter, for ARs observed up to 60o from disk center, we demonstrate a m…

A Microfilament-Eruption Mechanism for Solar Spicules

Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore

Recent investigations indicate that solar coronal jets result from eruptions of small-scale chromospheric filaments, called minifilaments; that is, the jets are produced by scaled-…

Miniature loops in the solar corona

Krzysztof Barczynski, Hardi Peter, Sabrina L. Savage

Magnetic loops filled with hot plasma are the main building blocks of the solar corona. Usually they have lengths of the order of the barometric scale height in the corona that is…

Magnetic Flux Cancellation as the Trigger of Solar Quiet-Region Coronal Jets

Navdeep K. Panesar, Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore +1

We report observations of ten random on-disk solar quiet region coronal jets found in high resolution Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Atm…

Vertical magnetic field gradient in the photospheric layers of sunspots

Jayant Joshi, Andreas Lagg, Johann Hirzberger +2

We investigate the vertical gradient of the magnetic field of sunspots in the photospheric layer. Independent observations were obtained with the SOT/SP onboard the Hinode spacecra…

A Comparison of Flare Forecasting Methods, I: Results from the "All-Clear" Workshop

G. Barnes, K. D. Leka, C. J. Schrijver +15

Solar flares produce radiation which can have an almost immediate effect on the near-Earth environment, making it crucial to forecast flares in order to mitigate their negative eff…

Solar Coronal Jets: Observations, Theory, and Modeling

N. E. Raouafi, S. Patsourakos, E. Pariat +13

Coronal jets represent important manifestations of ubiquitous solar transients, which may be the source of significant mass and energy input to the upper solar atmosphere and the s…

Babcock Redux: An Ammendment of Babcock's Schematic of the Sun's Magnetic Cycle

Ronald L. Moore, J. W. Cirtain, Alphonse C. Sterling

We amend Babcock's original scenario for the global dynamo process that sustains the Sun's 22-year magnetic cycle. The amended scenario fits post-Babcock observed features of the m…

Homologous Jet-Driven Coronal Mass Ejections From Solar Active Region 12192

Navdeep K. Panesar, Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore

We report observations of homologous coronal jets and their coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed by instruments onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Solar and Heliosp…

Hi-C Observations of Sunspot Penumbral Bright Dots

Shane E. Alpert, Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Ronald L. Moore +2

We report observations of bright dots (BDs) in a sunspot penumbra using High Resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C) data in 193 Å and examine their sizes, lifetimes, speeds, and intensit…
