A new method to quantify and reduce projection error in whole-solar-active-region parameters measured from vector magnetograms
David A. Falconer, Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Ronald L. Moore +1
Projection error limits the use of vector magnetograms of active regions (ARs) far from disk center. In this Letter, for ARs observed up to 60o from disk center, we demonstrate a m…
A Microfilament-Eruption Mechanism for Solar Spicules
Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore
Recent investigations indicate that solar coronal jets result from eruptions of small-scale chromospheric filaments, called minifilaments; that is, the jets are produced by scaled-…
Magnetic Flux Cancellation as the Trigger of Solar Quiet-Region Coronal Jets
Navdeep K. Panesar, Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore +1
We report observations of ten random on-disk solar quiet region coronal jets found in high resolution Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Atm…
Interstellar Pickup Ion Production in the Global Heliosphere and Heliosheath
Yihong Wu, Vladimir Florinski, Xiaocheng Guo
Interstellar Pickup ions (PUIs) play a significant part in mediating the solar wind (SW) interaction with the interstellar medium. In this paper, we examine the details of spatial…
Probing shock geometry via the charge to mass ratio dependence of heavy ion spectra from multiple spacecraft observations of the 2013 November 4 event
Lulu Zhao, Gang Li, G. M. Mason +5
In large SEP events, ions can be accelerated at CME-driven shocks to very high energies. Spectra of heavy ions in many large SEP events show features such as roll-overs or spectral…
Pickup Ion Effect of the Solar Wind Interaction with the Local Interstellar Medium
Nikolai V. Pogorelov, Matthew C. Bedford, Igor A. Kryukov +1
Pickup ions are created when interstellar neutral atoms resonantly exchange charge with the solar wind (SW) ions, especially in the supersonic part of the wind, where they carry mo…
A Comparison of Flare Forecasting Methods, I: Results from the "All-Clear" Workshop
G. Barnes, K. D. Leka, C. J. Schrijver +15
Solar flares produce radiation which can have an almost immediate effect on the near-Earth environment, making it crucial to forecast flares in order to mitigate their negative eff…
On the twists of interplanetary magnetic flux ropes observed at 1 AU
Yuming Wang, Bin Zhuang, Qiang Hu +3
Magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) are one kind of fundamental structures in the solar physics, and involved in various eruption phenomena. Twist, characterizing how the magnetic field lin…
Observation of a Metric Type N Solar Radio Burst
Xiangliang Kong, Yao Chen, Shiwei Feng +7
Type III and type-III-like radio bursts are produced by energetic electron beams guided along coronal magnetic fields. As a variant of type III bursts, Type N bursts appear as the…
How did a Major Confined Flare Occur in Super Solar Active Region 12192?
Chaowei Jiang, Shi Tsan Wu, Vasyl B Yurchyshyn +3
We study the physical mechanism of a major X-class solar flare that occurred in the super NOAA active region (AR) 12192 using a data-driven numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mode…
Babcock Redux: An Ammendment of Babcock's Schematic of the Sun's Magnetic Cycle
Ronald L. Moore, J. W. Cirtain, Alphonse C. Sterling
We amend Babcock's original scenario for the global dynamo process that sustains the Sun's 22-year magnetic cycle. The amended scenario fits post-Babcock observed features of the m…
The injection of ten electron/He-rich SEP events
Linghua Wang, Säm Krucker, Glenn M. Mason +2
We have derived the particle injections at the Sun for ten good electron/He-rich solar energetic particle (SEP) events, using a 1.2 AU particle path length (suggested by anal…
Homologous Jet-Driven Coronal Mass Ejections From Solar Active Region 12192
Navdeep K. Panesar, Alphonse C. Sterling, Ronald L. Moore
We report observations of homologous coronal jets and their coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed by instruments onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Solar and Heliosp…
On the identification of time interval threshold in the twin-CME scenario
Liu-Guan Ding, Gang Li, Li-Hua Dong +3
Recently it has been suggested that the "twin-CME" scenario Li.etal2012 may be a very effective mechanism in causing extreme Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events and in particular…
Seed population in large Solar Energetic Particle events and the twin-CME scenario
Liu-Guan Ding, Gang Li, Gui-Ming Le +2
It has been recently suggested that large solar energetic particle (SEP) events are often caused by twin CMEs. In the twin-CME scenario, the preceding CME is to provide both an enh…
A Statistical Study of the Average Iron Charge Distributions inside Magnetic Clouds for Solar Cycle 23
Hongqiang Song, Ze Zhong, Yao Chen +5
Magnetic clouds (MCs) are the interplanetary counterpart of coronal magnetic flux ropes. They can provide valuable information to reveal the flux rope characteristics at their erup…
Microwave imaging of a hot flux rope structure during the pre-impulsive stage of an eruptive M7.7 solar flare
Z. Wu, Y. Chen, G. Huang +7
Corona structures and processes during the pre-impulsive stage of solar eruption are crucial to understanding the physics leading to the subsequent explosive energy release. Here w…
Electron Acceleration at a Coronal Shock Propagating Through a Large-scale Streamer-like Magnetic Field
Xiangliang Kong, Yao Chen, Fan Guo +3
With a test-particle simulation, we investigate the effect of large-scale coronal magnetic fields on electron acceleration at an outward-propagating coronal shock with a circular f…
