NuSTAR hard X-ray observation of a sub-A class solar flare

Lindsay Glesener, Sa"m Krucker, Iain G. Hannah +5

We report a NuSTAR observation of a solar microflare, SOL2015-09-01T04. Although it was too faint to be observed by the GOES X-ray Sensor, we estimate the event to be an A0.1 class…

On the origin of the flare emission in IRIS' SJI 2832 filter: Balmer continuum or spectral lines?

Lucia Kleint, Petr Heinzel, Säm Krucker

Continuum ("White-light", WL) emission dominates the energetics of flares. Filter-based observations, such as the IRIS SJI 2832 filter, show WL-like brightenings during flares, but…
