A view of the evolution of a CME and the associated wave-trains at high spatial and temporal resolution

G. Russano, Y. De Leo, F. Frassati +13

Context. Studying the kinematic and dynamic evolution of fast eruptive events from the middle to high solar corona is a primary objective of the Metis coronagraph on Solar Orbiter.…

First detection of acoustic-like flux in the middle solar corona

V. Andretta, L. Abbo, G. Jerse +28

Waves are thought to play a significant role in the heating of the solar atmosphere and the acceleration of the wind. Among the many types of waves observed in the Sun, the so-call…
