Continuum Enhancements in the Ultraviolet, the Visible and the Infrared during the X1 flare on 2014 March 29

Lucia Kleint, Petr Heinzel, Phil Judge +1

Enhanced continuum brightness is observed in many flares (''white light flares''), yet it is still unclear which processes contribute to the emission. To understand the transport o…

A statistical correlation of sunquakes based on their seismic, white light, and X-ray emission

J. C. Buitrago-Casas, J. C. Martinez Oliveros, C. Lindsey +4

Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the transient seis- mic emission, i.e., sunquakes, from some solar flares. Some theories associate high-energy electrons and/or whi…
