A Convolutional Neural Network-Derived Catalog of Solar Flares from Soft X-Ray Observations

Nastaran Farhang, Michael. S. Wheatland, Andrew Melatos

A convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to construct a new catalog for solar flares based on high resolution (1-s cadence) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (…

Complex Network View of the Sun's Magnetic Patches: I. Identification

Zahra Tajik, Nastaran Farhang, Hossein Safari +1

Solar and stellar magnetic patches (i.e., magnetic fluxes that reach the surface from the interior) are believed to be the primary sources of a star's atmospheric conditions. Hence…

Do Cellular Automaton Avalanche Models Simulate the Quasi-Periodic Pulsations of Solar Flares?

Nastaran Farhang, Farhad Shahbazi, Hossein Safari

Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) with various periods that originate in the underlying magnetohydrodynamic processes of the flaring structures are detected repeatedly in the solar…

Energy Balance in Avalanche Models for Solar Flares

Nastaran Farhang, Michael S. Wheatland, Hossein Safari

The distributions of solar flare energies and waiting times have not been described simultaneously by a single physical model, yet. In this research, we investigate whether recent…

Resonant absorption as a damping mechanism for the transverse oscillations of the coronal loops observed by SDO/AIA

Javad Ganjali, Nastaran Farhang, Shahriar Esmaeili +2

Solar coronal loops represent the variety of fast, intermediate, and slow normal mode oscillations. In this study, the transverse oscillations of the loops with a few-minutes perio…

Principle of Minimum Energy in Magnetic Reconnection in a Self-Organized Critical Model for Solar Flares

Nastaran Farhang, Hossein Safari, Michael S. Wheatland

Solar flares are an abrupt release of magnetic energy in the Sun's atmosphere due to reconnection of the coronal magnetic field. This occurs in response to turbulent flows at the p…
