Stereoscopic observations reveal coherent morphology and evolution of solar coronal loops
B. Ram, L. P. Chitta, S. Mandal +2
Coronal loops generally trace magnetic lines of force in the upper solar atmosphere. Understanding the loop morphology and its temporal evolution has implications for coronal heati…
Photospheric Hot Spots at Solar Coronal Loop Footpoints Revealed by Hyperspectral Imaging Observations
L. P. Chitta, M. van Noort, H. N. Smitha +2
Poynting flux generated by random shuffling of photospheric magnetic footpoints is transferred through the upper atmosphere of the Sun where the plasma is heated to over 1 MK in th…
Bidirectional propagating brightenings in arch filament systems observed by Solar Orbiter/EUI
Yajie Chen, Sudip Mandal, Hardi Peter +1
Arch filament systems (AFSs) are chromospheric and coronal manifestations of emerging magnetic flux. Using high spatial resolution observations taken at a high cadence by the Extre…
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…
High-resolution Observations of Clustered Dynamic Extreme-Ultraviolet Bright Tadpoles near the Footpoints of Corona Loops
Rui Wang, Ying D. Liu, L. P. Chitta +2
An extreme ultraviolet (EUV) close-up view of the Sun offers unprecedented detail of heating events in the solar corona. Enhanced temporal and spatial images obtained by the Solar…
Transition Region Brightenings in a Moss Region and their Relation with Lower Atmospheric Dynamics
Bhinva Ram, Tanmoy Samanta, Yajie Chen +5
Small-scale Brightenings (SBs) are commonly observed in the transition region that separates the solar chromosphere from the corona. These brightenings, omnipresent in active regio…
Hard X-rays from the deep solar atmosphere. An unusual UV burst with flare properties
L. P. Chitta, I. G. Hannah, L. Fletcher +4
Explosive transient events occur throughout the solar atmosphere. The differing manifestations range from coronal mass ejections to Ellerman bombs. The former may have negligible s…
Eruption of a million-Kelvin warm magnetic flux rope on the Sun
Leping Li, Hongqiang Song, Hardi Peter +4
Solar magnetic flux rope (MFR) plays a central role in the physics of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). It mainly includes a cold filament at typical chromospheric temperatures (10000…
Coronal Heating and Solar Wind Generation by Flux Cancellation Reconnection
D. I. Pontin, E. R. Priest, L. P. Chitta +1
In this paper we propose that flux cancellation on small granular scales ( km) ubiquitously drives reconnection at a multitude of sites in the low solar atmosphere,…
Investigating coronal loop morphology and dynamics from two vantage points
Sudip Mandal, Hardi Peter, James A. Klimchuk +9
Coronal loops serve as the fundamental building blocks of the solar corona. Therefore, comprehending their properties is essential in unraveling the dynamics of the Sun's upper atm…
