How the Solar Dynamics Observatory Revolutionized our Physical Understanding of the Sun

Markus J. Aschwanden

We review solar studies using AIA, HMI, and EVE data from the SDO spacecraft that revolutionized our physical understanding of the Sun. The relevant SDO studies cover the entire 15…

The Universality of Power Law Slopes in the Solar Photosphere and Transition Region Observed with HMI and IRIS

Markus J. Aschwanden, Nived Vilangot Nhalil

We compare the size distributions of self-organized criticality (SOC) systems in the solar photosphere and the transition region, using magnetogram data from Helioseismic and Magne…

Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) Observations of the Fractal Dimension in the Solar Atmosphere

Markus J. Aschwanden, Nived Vilangot Nhalil

While previous work explored the fractality and self-organized criticality (SOC) of flares and nanoflares in wavelengths emitted in the solar corona (such as in hard X-rays, soft X…

Reconciling Power Law Slopes in Solar Flare and Nanoflare Size Distributions

Markus J. Aschwanden

We unify the power laws of size distributions of solar flare and nanoflare energies. We present three models that predict the power law slopes of flare energies defined in te…

Global energetics of solar flares. XIII. The Neupert effect and acceleration of coronal mass ejections

Markus J. Aschwanden

Our major aim is a height-time model of the propagation of {\sl Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)}, where the lower corona is self-consistently connected to the heliospheric pat…

The Solar Memory From Hours to Decades

Markus J. Aschwanden, Jay R. Johnson

Waiting time distributions allow us to distinguish at least three different types of dynamical systems, such as (i) linear random processes (with no memory); (ii) nonlinear, avalan…
