Fast and periodic propagating disturbances along coronal loops detected with EUI on board Solar Orbiter
A. Dolliou, S. Mandal, K. Barczynski +9
Recent high-resolution observations from the Solar Orbiter mission can help detect the indirect signatures of heating at the smallest scales. In this work we measure the properties…
A Point-Spread Function for the Extreme Ultraviolet High-Resolution Imager on board Solar Orbiter
Stefan J. Hofmeister, Emil Kraaikamp, Sergei Shestov +7
We present the point-spread function (PSF) of the Extreme Ultraviolet High-Resolution Imager (HRIEUV) onboard Solar Orbiter, which observes the Sun at 174 Angstrom. This PSF provid…
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…
Picoflares in the Quiet Solar Corona: Solar Orbiter Observations Halfway to the Sun
O. Podladchikova, A. Warmuth, L. Harra +33
X-ray observations of the Sun led Eugene Parker to propose nanoflares as the basic energy-release units that heat the solar corona. Decades later, Solar Orbiter's Extreme Ultraviol…
Supergranulation and Poleward Migration of the Magnetic Field at High Latitudes of the Sun
L. P. Chitta, D. Calchetti, J. Hirzberger +26
Magnetoconvection at the solar surface governs the dynamics in the upper solar atmosphere and sustains the heliosphere. Properties of this fundamental process are poorly described…
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 t…
