Kappa Distribution Model for Hard X-Ray Coronal Sources of Solar Flares

M. Oka, S. Ishikawa, P. Saint-Hilaire +2

Solar flares produce hard X-ray emission of which the photon spectrum is often represented by a combination of thermal and power-law distributions. However, the estimates of the nu…

The Driver of Coronal Mass Ejections in the Low Corona: A Flux Rope

X. Cheng, J. Zhang, D. M. Ding +2

Recent Solar Dynamic Observatory observations reveal that coronal mass ejections (CMEs) consist of a multi-temperature structure: a hot flux rope and a cool leading front (LF). The…

A photospheric metal line profile analysis of hot DA white dwarfs with circumstellar material

Nathan J. Dickinson, Martin A. Barstow, Barry Y. Welsh

Some hot DA white dwarfs have circumstellar high ion absorption features in their spectra, in addition to those originating in the photosphere. In many cases, the line profiles of…

How Many CMEs Have Flux Ropes? Deciphering the Signatures of Shocks, Flux Ropes, and Prominences in Coronagraph Observations of CMEs

Angelos Vourlidas, Ben J. Lynch, Russ A. Howard +1

We intend to provide a comprehensive answer to the question on whether all Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have flux rope structure. To achieve this, we present a synthesis of the LA…

The height of a white-light flare and its hard X-ray sources

Juan-Carlos Martínez Oliveros, Hugh S. Hudson, Gordon J. Hurford +6

We describe observations of a white-light flare (SOL2011-02-24T07:35:00, M3.5) close to the limb of the Sun, from which we obtain estimates of the heights of the optical continuum…

Buildup of Magnetic Shear and Free Energy During Flux Emergence and Cancellation

Fang Fang, Ward Manchester, William P. Abbett +1

We examine a simulation of flux emergence and cancellation, which shows a complex sequence of processes that accumulate free magnetic energy in the solar corona essential for the e…

Radio signatures of CME-streamer interaction and source diagnostics of type II radio burst

S. W. Feng, Y. Chen, X. L. Kong +4

It has been suggested that type II radio bursts are due to energetic electrons accelerated at coronal shocks. Radio observations, however, have poor or no spatial resolutions to pi…

The origin of circumstellar features in the spectra of hot DA white dwarfs

N. J. Dickinson, M. A. Barstow, B. Y. Welsh +4

We have analysed a sample of 23 hot DAs to better understand the source of the circumstellar features reported in previous work. Unambiguous detections of circumstellar material ar…
