Propagating brightenings in small loop-like structures in the quiet Sun corona: Observations from Solar Orbiter/EUI

Sudip Mandal, Hardi Peter, Lakshmi Pradeep Chitta +6

Brightenings observed in the solar extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) images are generally interpreted as signatures of micro- or nanoflares occurring at the transition region or coronal te…

Capturing transient plasma flows and jets in the solar corona

L. P. Chitta, S. K. Solanki, H. Peter +8

Intensity bursts in ultraviolet (UV) to X-ray wavelengths and plasma jets are typical signatures of magnetic reconnection and the associated impulsive heating of the solar atmosphe…

Stereoscopy of extreme UV quiet Sun brightenings observed by Solar Orbiter/EUI

A. N. Zhukov, M. Mierla, F. Auchère +27

The 3D fine structure of the solar atmosphere is still not fully understood as most of the available observations are taken from a single vantage point. The goal of the paper is to…

First light observations of the solar wind in the outer corona with the Metis coronagraph

M. Romoli, E. Antonucci, V. Andretta +65

The investigation of the wind in the solar corona initiated with the observations of the resonantly scattered UV emission of the coronal plasma obtained with UVCS-SOHO, designed to…

Extreme UV quiet Sun brightenings observed by Solar Orbiter/EUI

D. Berghmans, F. Auchere, D. M. Long +23

The goal of this paper is to study the smallest brightening events observed in the EUV quiet Sun. We use commissioning data taken by the EUI instrument onboard the recently launche…

Cosmic-ray flux predictions and observations for and with Metis on board Solar Orbiter

C. Grimani, V. Andretta, P. Chioetto +41

The Metis coronagraph is one of the remote sensing instruments hosted on board the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission. Metis is devoted to carry out the first simultaneous imaging of t…
