Differential rotation of solar α sunspots and implications for stellar light curves

Emily Joe Lößnitz, Alexander G. M. Pietrow, Hritam Chakraborty +5

Differential rotation is a key driver of magnetic activity and dynamo processes in the Sun and other stars, especially as the rate differs across the solar layers, but also in acti…

A magnetic avalanche as the central engine powering a solar flare

L. P. Chitta, D. I. Pontin, E. R. Priest +17

Solar flares are the most powerful, magnetically driven, explosions in the heliosphere. The nature of magnetic energy release in the solar corona that heats the plasma and accelera…

Coronal hole picoflare jets are progenitors of both fast and Alfvénic slow solar wind

L. P. Chitta, Z. Huang, R. D'Amicis +19

Solar wind, classified by its bulk speed and the Alfvénic nature of its fluctuations, generates the heliosphere. The elusive physical processes responsible for the generation of th…

Picoflare jets power the solar wind emerging from a coronal hole on the Sun

L. P. Chitta, A. N. Zhukov, D. Berghmans +17

Coronal holes are areas on the Sun with open magnetic field lines. They are a source region of the solar wind, but how the wind emerges from coronal holes is not known. We observed…

Data Fusion of Total Solar Irradiance Composite Time Series Using 41 Years of Satellite Measurements

Jean-Philippe Montillet, Wolfgang Finsterle, Gael Kermarrec +4

Since the late 1970s, successive satellite missions have been monitoring the sun's activity and recording the total solar irradiance (TSI). Some of these measurements have lasted f…

Electric current evolution at the footpoints of solar eruptions

Krzysztof Barczynski, Guillaume Aulanier, Miho Janvier +2

Electric currents play a critical role in the triggering of solar flares and their evolution. The aim of the present paper is to test whether the surface electric current has a sur…

X-ray illumination of the ejecta of Supernova 1987A

J. Larsson, C. Fransson, G. Östlin +25

We present the late-time optical light curve of the ejecta of SN 1987A measured from HST imaging observations spanning the past 17 years. We find that the flux from the ejecta decl…
