Elemental Composition Evolution during the 2024 September 30 Solar Eruption: A Comparison of Hot and Cool Plasma Components with Solar Orbiter/SPICE, Hinode/EIS, and Chandrayaan-2/XSM

Momchil Molnar, Joseph Plowman, Amir Caspi +7

Solar plasma composition differs between the photosphere and corona over a range of timescales, with preferential enhancement of elements with low first ionization potential (FIP).…

Supra-arcade downflows in an extensive fan associated with a giant quiescent solar filament eruption

Xiaoyan Xie, Katharine Reeves, Chengcai Shen +6

We investigate the aftermath of a giant quiescent solar filament eruption on December 24, 2023. One feature of the eruption is an extensive fan above the filament channel that is a…

Dynamics of Reconnection Nanojets in Eruptive and Confined Solar Flares

Annu Bura, Arpit Kumar Shrivastav, Ritesh Patel +6

Recent observations reveal small-scale reconnection-driven plasma ejections, often termed nanojets, triggered by magnetic field interactions at slight misalignment angles. These fa…

Evidence of Extreme Ultraviolet Resonant Excitation in the Middle Corona During A Solar Flare

Daniel B. Seaton, Cooper Downs, Giulio Del Zanna +10

We present observations of an eruptive solar flare on 2016 January 6 that occurred behind the solar limb from the perspective of the Earth, but was well observed by STEREO and the…

Geometric and magnetic properties of coronal flux ropes associated with CMEs leading to geomagnetic storms

Ranadeep Sarkar, Nandita Srivastava

We have studied three Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections (ICMEs) having clear signatures of magnetic cloud (MC) arrival at 1 AU and their associated solar sources during 2011 to…

Role of the background regimes towards the Solar Mean Magnetic Field

Souvik Bose, K Nagaraju

The Solar Mean Magnetic Field (SMMF) is generally defined as disc-averaged line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic field on the sun. The role of active regions and the large-scale magnetic fi…
