Chromospheric dynamics and the O I 135.6~nm spectral line

Viggo Hansteen, Mats Carlsson, Bart De Pontieu +1

The O I 135.6 nm spectral line is formed in the chromosphere at the same heights as the Mg II h&k line cores are formed. As the O I line is optically thin, it represents a possibil…

The solar chromosphere at millimetre and ultraviolet wavelengths. I. Radiation temperatures and a detailed comparison

Shahin Jafarzadeh, Sven Wedemeyer, Mikolaj Szydlarski +3

Solar observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) provide us with direct measurements of the brightness temperature in the solar chromosphere. We stud…

Investigating the response of loop plasma to nanoflare heating using RADYN simulations

V. Polito, P. Testa, J. Allred +5

We present the results of 1D hydrodynamic simulations of coronal loops which are subject to nanoflares, caused by either in-situ thermal heating, or non-thermal electrons (NTE) bea…

The formation of IRIS diagnostics II. The formation of the Mg II h&k lines in the solar atmosphere

J. Leenaarts, T. M. D. Pereira, M. Carlsson +2

NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) small explorer mission will study how the solar atmosphere is energized. IRIS contains an imaging spectrograph that covers the M…

The quiet solar atmosphere observed and simulated in NaD1

J. Leenaarts, R. J. Rutten, K. Reardon +2

The NaD1 line in the solar spectrum is sometimes attributed to the solar chromosphere. We study its formation in quiet-Sun network and internetwork. We first present high-resolutio…
