Incorporating Magnetic Field Characteristics into EUV-Based Automated Segmentation of Coronal Holes
Jeremy A. Grajeda, Laura E. Boucheron, Michael S. Kirk +3
Coronal holes (CHs) are magnetically open regions that allow hot coronal plasma to escape from the Sun and form the high-speed solar wind. This wind can interact with Earth's magne…

Magnetic Field-Constrained Ensemble Image Segmentation of Coronal Holes in Chromospheric Observations
Jaime A. Landeros, Michael S. Kirk, C. Nick Arge +5
Coronal Holes (CHs) are large-scale, low-density regions in the solar atmosphere which may expel high-speed solar wind streams that incite hazardous, geomagnetic storms. Coronal an…

Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. I. Monte Carlo Simulations and Parameter-space Exploration
David B. Jess, Chris J. Dillon, Michael S. Kirk +7
Small-scale magnetic reconnection processes, in the form of nanoflares, have become increasingly hypothesized as important mechanisms for the heating of the solar atmosphere, for d…
