Solar flare ribbons structured by uncombed chromospheric loops

L. P. Chitta, E. R. Priest, David Orozco Suárez +33

A part of the magnetic energy released during a flare is transported to the lower atmosphere. High-resolution observations show that flare ribbons, sites of energy deposition at th…

Reconstruction of total solar irradiance variability as simultaneously apparent from Solar Orbiter and Solar Dynamics Observatory

K. L. Yeo, N. A. Krivova, S. K. Solanki +42

Solar irradiance variability has been monitored almost exclusively from the Earth's perspective. {We present a method to combine the unprecedented observations of the photospheric…

Coronal voids and their magnetic nature

J. D. Nölke, S. K. Solanki, J. Hirzberger +68

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) observations of the quiet solar atmosphere reveal extended regions of weak emission compared to the ambient quiescent corona. The magnetic nature of these…

Intensity contrast of solar network and faculae close to the solar limb, observed from two vantage points

K. Albert, N. A. Krivova, J. Hirzberger +43

The brightness of faculae and network depends on the angle at which they are observed and the magnetic flux density. Close to the limb, assessment of this relationship has until no…

Stereoscopic disambiguation of vector magnetograms: first applications to SO/PHI-HRT data

G. Valori, D. Calchetti, A. Moreno Vacas +34

Spectropolarimetric reconstructions of the photospheric vector magnetic field are intrinsically limited by the 180-ambiguity in the orientation of the transverse component.…
