First Results for Solar Soft X-ray Irradiance Measurements from the Third Generation Miniature X-Ray Solar Spectrometer
Thomas N. Woods, Bennet Schwab, Robert Sewell +11
Three generations of the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) have flown on small satellites with the goal "to explore the energy distribution of soft X-ray (SXR) emissions…
Coronal Heating as Determined by the Solar Flare Frequency Distribution Obtained by Aggregating Case Studies
James Paul Mason, Alexandra Werth, Colin G. West +999
Flare frequency distributions represent a key approach to addressing one of the largest problems in solar and stellar physics: determining the mechanism that counter-intuitively he…
SuNeRF: Validation of a 3D Global Reconstruction of the Solar Corona Using Simulated EUV Images
Kyriaki-Margarita Bintsi, Robert Jarolim, Benoit Tremblay +8
Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) light emitted by the Sun impacts satellite operations and communications and affects the habitability of planets. Currently, EUV-observing instruments are…
Defining the Middle Corona
Matthew J. West, Daniel B. Seaton, David B. Wexler +31
The middle corona, the region roughly spanning heliocentric altitudes from to , encompasses almost all of the influential physical transitions and processes that…
Modeling the Daily Variations of the Coronal X-ray Spectral Irradiance with Two Temperatures and Two Emission Measures
Bennet D. Schwab, Thomas N. Woods, James P. Mason
The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS-1) CubeSat observed solar X-rays between 0.5 and 10 keV. A two-temperature, two-emission measure model is fit to each daily averaged…
Constraining the Physical Properties of Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections with Coronal Dimming: Application to Far Ultraviolet Data of Eridani
R. O. Parke Loyd, James Mason, Meng Jin +9
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a prominent contributor to solar system space weather and might have impacted the Sun's early angular momentum evolution. A signal diagnostic of C…
SunCET: A compact EUV instrument to fill a critical observational gap
James Paul Mason, Phillip C. Chamberlin, Daniel Seaton +16
The Sun Coronal Ejection Tracker (SunCET) is an extreme ultraviolet imager and spectrograph instrument concept for tracking coronal mass ejections through the region where they exp…
Solar Analogs as a Tool to Understand the Sun
Allison Youngblood, Steve Cranmer, Sam Van Kooten +6
Solar analogs, broadly defined as stars similar to the Sun in mass or spectral type, provide a useful laboratory for exploring the range of Sun-like behaviors and exploring the phy…
CME Acceleration as a Probe of the Coronal Magnetic Field
James Paul Mason, Phillip C. Chamberlin, Thomas N. Woods +5
By 2050, we expect that CME models will accurately describe, and ideally predict, observed solar eruptions and the propagation of the CMEs through the corona. We describe some of t…
Soft X-Ray Observations of Quiescent Solar Active Regions using Novel Dual-zone Aperture X-ray Solar Spectrometer (DAXSS)
Bennet D. Schwab, Robert H. A. Sewell, Thomas N. Woods +3
The Dual-zone Aperture X-ray Solar Spectrometer (DAXSS) was flown on 2018 June18 on the NASA 36.336 sounding rocket flight and obtained the highest resolution to date for solar sof…
Coronal Dimming as a Proxy for Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections
Meng Jin, Mark C. M. Cheung, Marc L. DeRosa +6
Solar coronal dimmings have been observed extensively in the past two decades and are believed to have close association with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Recent study found that…
EUV observations of cool dwarf stars
Allison Youngblood, Jeremy Drake, James Mason +15
The EUV (100-912 Å) is a spectral region notoriously difficult to observe due to attenuation by neutral hydrogen gas in the interstellar medium. Despite this, hundreds to thousands…
The Instruments and Capabilities of the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSats
Christopher S. Moore, Amir Caspi, Thomas N. Woods +6
The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat is the first solar science oriented CubeSat mission flown for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, with the main objective…
The MUSCLES Treasury Survey IV: Scaling Relations for Ultraviolet, Ca II K, and Energetic Particle Fluxes from M Dwarfs
Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, R. O. Parke Loyd +18
Characterizing the UV spectral energy distribution (SED) of an exoplanet host star is critically important for assessing its planet's potential habitability, particularly for M dwa…
New Solar Irradiance Measurements from the Miniature X-Ray Solar Spectrometer CubeSat
Thomas N. Woods, Amir Caspi, Phillip C. Chamberlin +9
The goal of the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS) CubeSat is to explore the energy distribution of soft X-ray (SXR) emissions from the quiescent Sun, active regions, and…
Relationship of EUV Irradiance Coronal Dimming Slope and Depth to Coronal Mass Ejection Speed and Mass
James Paul Mason, Thomas N. Woods, David F. Webb +3
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) coronal dimmings are often observed in response to solar eruptive events. These phenomena can be generated via several different physical processes. For s…
