Imaging and spectroscopic observations of magnetic reconnection and chromospheric evaporation in a solar flare

Hui Tian, Gang Li, Katharine K. Reeves +5

Magnetic reconnection is believed to be the dominant energy release mechanism in solar flares. The standard flare model predicts both downward and upward outflow plasmas with speed…

Possible role of coronal streamer as magnetically-closed structure in shock-induced energetic electrons and metric type II radio bursts

Xiangliang Kong, Yao Chen, Fan Guo +4

Two solar type II radio bursts, separated by ~24 hours in time, are examined together. Both events are associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) erupting from the same active r…

Three-dimensional Magnetic Restructuring in Two Homologous Solar Flares in the Seismically Active NOAA AR 11283

Chang Liu, Na Deng, Jeongwoo Lee +6

We carry out a comprehensive investigation comparing the three-dimensional magnetic field restructuring, flare energy release, and the helioseismic response, of two homologous flar…

Limits on the strength of individual gravitational wave sources using high-cadence observations of PSR B1937+21

Shuxu Yi, Benjamin W. Stappers, Sotirios A. Sanidas +5

We present the results of a search for gravitational waves (GWs) from individual sources using high cadence observations of PSR B1937+21. The data were acquired from an intensive o…

Magnetic Flux Transport at the Solar Surface

J. Jiang, D. H. Hathaway, R. H. Cameron +3

After emerging to the solar surface, the Sun's magnetic field displays a complex and intricate evolution. The evolution of the surface field is important for several reasons. One i…

Structures of Interplanetary Magnetic Flux Ropes and Comparison with Their Solar Sources

Qiang Hu, Jiong Qiu, B. Dasgupta +2

Magnetic reconnection is essential to release the flux rope during its ejection. The question remains: how does the magnetic reconnection change the flux rope structure? Following…

Effects of Meridional Flow Variations on Solar Cycles 23 and 24

Lisa Upton, David H. Hathaway

The faster meridional flow that preceded the solar cycle 23/24 minimum is thought to have led to weaker polar field strengths, producing the extended solar minimum and the unusuall…

The Solar Meridional Circulation and Sunspot Cycle Variability

David H. Hathaway, Lisa Upton

We have measured the meridional motions of the magnetic elements in the Sun's surface layers since 1996 and find systematic and substantial variations. In general the meridional fl…

Nonlinear Force-Free Field Extrapolation of a Coronal Magnetic Flux Rope Supporting a Large-Scale Filament from Photospheric Vector Magnetogram

Chaowei Jiang, S. T. Wu, Xueshang Feng +1

Solar filament are commonly thought to be supported in magnetic dips, in particular, of magnetic flux ropes (FRs). In this Letter, from the observed photospheric vector magnetogram…

Tracking Back the Solar Wind to its Photospheric Footpoints from Wind Observations -- A Statistical Study

C. Huang, Y. Y. Yan, G. Li +2

It is of great importance to track the solar wind back to its photospheric source region and identify the related current sheets; this will provide key information for investigatin…

A solar eruption driven by rapid sunspot rotation

Guiping Ruan, Yao Chen, Shuo Wang +8

We present the observation of a major solar eruption that is associated with fast sunspot rotation. The event includes a sigmoidal filament eruption, a coronal mass ejection, and a…

Observation of Energetic particles between a pair of Corotating Interaction Regions

Z. Wu, Y. Chen, G. Li +11

We report observations of the acceleration and trapping of energetic ions and electrons between a pair of corotating interaction regions (CIRs). The event occurred in Carrington Ro…

Rotational Behaviors and Magnetic Field Evolution of Radio Pulsars

Yi Xie, Shuang-Nan Zhang

The observed long-term spin-down evolution of isolated radio pulsars cannot be explained by the standard magnetic dipole radiation with a constant braking torque. However how and w…

Giant Convection Cells Found on the Sun

David H. Hathaway, Lisa Upton, Owen Colegrove

Heat is transported through the outermost 30% of the Sun's interior by overturning convective motions. These motions are evident at the Sun's surface in the form of two characteris…
