Testing Theories of Solar Coronal Heating with Three-Dimensional Forward Modeling
Steven R. Cranmer, Chris R. Gilly
After almost a century of speculation, the physical processes responsible for heating the Sun's corona remain uncertain. Observations of coronal loops at extreme ultraviolet and X-…
Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74
The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…
Polarization Diagnostics Applied to Coronal Mass Ejections and the Background Solar Wind
Sarah E Gibson, Craig E. DeForest, Curt A. de Koning +6
The ratio of radially to tangentially polarized Thomson-scattered white light provides a powerful tool for locating the 3D position of compact structures in the solar corona and in…
Ubiquitous high-frequency waves and disturbances in the active region corona observed with DKIST/Cryo-NIRSP
Momchil E. Molnar, Richard Morton, Alin Paraschiv +4
The plasma of the solar corona harbors a multitude of coronal wave modes, some of which could be dissipated to provide the required energy and momentum to heat the corona and accel…
Visualization of High Dynamic Range Solar Imagery and the Radial Histogram Equalizing Filter
Chris Gilly, Steven Cranmer
Standard visualizations of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) solar imagery often fail to convey the full complexity of the Sun's corona, especially in faint off-limb regions. This can leav…
