Pre-flare and active region plasma flows and structure seen by the short wavelength camera on SOLAR-C/EUVST

James McKevitt, Sarah Matthews, David H. Brooks +20

The mechanisms triggering solar flares and driving coronal heating occur across wide temperature ranges on small spatial scales and short timescales, making them difficult to obser…

Full-Disk Spectroscopy of the Solar Corona Across a Solar Cycle with Hinode/EIS

James McKevitt, Ignacio Ugarte-Urra, Peter R. Young

The structure and dynamics of the solar corona evolve with the Sun's magnetic cycle, yet how this variability manifests in the disk-integrated, Sun-as-a-star observables used in st…

Coronal Non-Thermal and Doppler Plasma Flows Driven by Photospheric Flux in 28 Active Regions

James McKevitt, Sarah Matthews, Deborah Baker +5

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and/or the braiding of magnetic field lines are largely thought to be responsible for heating the solar corona, both being mechanisms which are driv…

The Non-Eruptive Reconfiguration of a Quiescent Filament After a Nearby Active Region Emergence

James McKevitt, Louise Harra, Gherardo Valori +13

The unpredictability of solar filament eruptions presents major challenges for forecasting space weather, as such eruptions frequently drive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that impa…

Near-continuous tracking of solar active region NOAA 13664 over three solar rotations

I. Kontogiannis, Y. Zhu, K. Barczynski +6

Magnetic flux emergence and decay in the Sun span from days to months. However, their tracking is typically limited to about half a solar rotation when relying on single-vantage-po…

Searching for evidence of subchromospheric magnetic reconnection on the Sun

D. Baker, L. van Driel-Gesztelyi, A. W. James +13

Within the coronae of stars, abundances of those elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) often differ from their photospheric values. The coronae of the Sun and solar-ty…

The Link Between Non-Thermal Velocity and Free Magnetic Energy in Solar Flares

James McKevitt, Robert Jarolim, Sarah Matthews +5

The cause of excess spectral line broadening (non-thermal velocity) is not definitively known, but given its rise before and during flaring, the causal processes hold clues to unde…
