Comparison of Solar Fine Structure Observed Simultaneously in Ly-α and Mg II h

D. J. Schmit, A. V. Sukhorukov, B. De Pontieu +9

The Chromospheric Lyman Alpha Spectropolarimeter (CLASP) observed the Sun in H I Lyman-α during a suborbital rocket flight on September 3, 2015. The Interface Region Imaging Telesc…

Onset of a Large Ejective Solar Eruption from a Typical Coronal-Jet-Base Field Configuration

Navin Chandra Joshi, Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore +2

Utilizing multiwavelength observations and magnetic field data from SDO/AIA, SDO/HMI, GOES and RHESSI, we investigate a large-scale ejective solar eruption of 2014 December 18 from…

Magnetic Flux Cancelation as the Origin of Solar Quiet Region Pre-Jet Minifilaments

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

We investigate the origin of ten solar quiet region pre-jet minifilaments, using EUV images from SDO/AIA and magnetograms from SDO/HMI. We recently found panesar16b that quiet regi…

New Evidence that Magnetoconvection Drives Solar-Stellar Coronal Heating

Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Julia K. Thalmann, Navdeep K. Panesar +2

How magnetic energy is injected and released in the solar corona, keeping it heated to several million degrees, remains elusive. Coronal heating generally increases with increasing…

Magnetic nulls and super-radial expansion in the solar corona

Sarah E. Gibson, Kevin Dalmasse, Laurel A. Rachmeler +5

Magnetic fields in the sun's outer atmosphere -- the corona -- control both solar-wind acceleration and the dynamics of solar eruptions. We present the first clear observational ev…

Small-scale filament eruptions as the driver of solar coronal hole X-ray jets

Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore, David A. Falconer +1

Solar X-ray jets are evidently made by a burst of reconnection of closed magnetic field in a jet's base with ambient "open" field (1,2). In the widely-accepted version of the "emer…

Solar Active Region Coronal Jets II: Triggering and Evolution of Violent Jets

Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore, David A. Falconer +2

We study a series of X-ray-bright, rapidly-evolving active-region coronal jets outside the leading sunspot of AR 12259, using Hinode/XRT, SDO/AIA and HMI, and IRIS data. The detail…

Discovery of Scattering Polarization in the Hydrogen Lyman- Line of the Solar Disk Radiation

R. Kano, J. Trujillo Bueno, A. Winebarger +25

There is a thin transition region (TR) in the solar atmosphere where the temperature rises from 10,000 K in the chromosphere to millions of degrees in the corona. Little is known a…

An exploration of heating mechanisms in a supra-arcade plasma sheet formed after a coronal mass ejection

Katharine K. Reeves, Michael S. Freed, David E. McKenzie +1

We perform a detailed analysis of the thermal structure of the region above the post-eruption arcade for a flare that occurred on 2011 October 22. During this event, a sheet of hot…
