Continuum Enhancements in the Ultraviolet, the Visible and the Infrared during the X1 flare on 2014 March 29

Lucia Kleint, Petr Heinzel, Phil Judge +1

Enhanced continuum brightness is observed in many flares (''white light flares''), yet it is still unclear which processes contribute to the emission. To understand the transport o…

The Minimum of Solar Cycle 23: As Deep as It Could Be?

Andrés Muñoz-Jaramillo, Ryan R. Senkpeil, Dana W. Longcope +5

In this work we introduce a new way of binning sunspot group data with the purpose of better understanding the impact of the solar cycle on sunspot properties and how this defined…

Active Region Emergence & Remote Flares

Yixing Fu, Brian T. Welsch

We study the effect of newly emerged solar active regions (ARs) on the large-scale magnetic environment of pre-existing ARs (PEARs). We first present a theoretical approach to quan…

Deriving Potential Coronal Magnetic Fields from Vector Magnetograms

Brian T. Welsch, George H. Fisher

The minimum-energy configuration for the magnetic field above the solar photosphere is curl-free (hence, by Ampere's law, also current-free), so can be represented as the gradient…

A statistical correlation of sunquakes based on their seismic, white light, and X-ray emission

J. C. Buitrago-Casas, J. C. Martinez Oliveros, C. Lindsey +4

Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the transient seis- mic emission, i.e., sunquakes, from some solar flares. Some theories associate high-energy electrons and/or whi…
