Multiwavelength Stereoscopic Observation of the May 1, 2013 Solar Flare and CME

Erica Lastufka, Säm Krucker, Ivan Zimovets +7

A M-class behind-the-limb solar flare on 1 May 2013 (SOL2013-05-01T02:32), accompanied by a ( 400 km/s) CME was observed by several space-based observatories with different v…

NuSTAR Observation of Energy Release in Eleven Solar Microflares

Jessie Duncan, Lindsay Glesener, Brian W. Grefenstette +6

Solar flares are explosive releases of magnetic energy. Hard X-ray (HXR) flare emission originates from both hot (millions of Kelvin) plasma and nonthermal accelerated particles, g…

FOXSI-2 Solar Microflares II: Hard X-ray Imaging Spectroscopy and Flare Energetics

Juliana T. Vievering, Lindsay Glesener, P. S. Athiray +7

We study the nature of energy release and transfer for two sub-A class solar microflares observed during the second flight of the Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI-2) sound…

Radio and X-ray Observations of Short-lived Episodes of Electron Acceleration in a Solar Microflare

Rohit Sharma, Marina Battaglia, Yingjie Luo +2

Solar flares are sudden energy release events in the solar corona, resulting from magnetic reconnection, that accelerates particles and heats the ambient plasma. During a flare, th…

The Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action

I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182

Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…

The Solar Orbiter mission -- Science overview

D. Müller, O. C. St. Cyr, I. Zouganelis +32

Solar Orbiter, the first mission of ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme and a mission of international collaboration between ESA and NASA, will explore the Sun and heliosphere…

Propagation Effects in Quiet Sun Observations at Meter Wavelengths

Rohit Sharma, Divya Oberoi

Quiet sun meterwave emission arises from thermal bremsstrahlung in the MK corona, and can potentially be a rich source of coronal diagnostics. On its way to the observer, it gets m…

Solar activity classification based on Mg II spectra: towards classification on compressed data

Sergey Ivanov, Maksym Tsizh, Denis Ullmann +2

Although large volumes of solar data are available for study, the vast majority of these data remain unlabeled and are therefore not amenable to supervised machine learning methods…

New light on an old problem of the cores of solar resonance lines

Philip Judge, Lucia Kleint, Jorrit Leenaarts +2

We re-examine a 50+ year-old problem of deep central reversals predicted for strong solar spectral lines, in contrast to the smaller reversals seen in observations. We examine data…

Measurement of magnetic field and relativistic electrons along a solar flare current sheet

Bin Chen, Chengcai Shen, Dale E. Gary +8

In the standard model of solar flares, a large-scale reconnection current sheet is postulated as the central engine for powering the flare energy release and accelerating particles…

NuSTAR Observation of a Minuscule Microflare in a Solar Active Region

Kristopher Cooper, Iain G. Hannah, Brian W. Grefenstette +5

We present X-ray imaging spectroscopy of one of the weakest active region (AR) microflares ever studied. The microflare occurred at 11:04 UT on 2018 September 9 and we studie…
