Magnetic structure of coronal dark halos

J. D. Nölke, S. K. Solanki, J. Hirzberger +5

At low coronal temperatures around or below 1 MK distinct areas in the surroundings of active regions (AR) show emission at a level significantly below the emission coming from the…

The first out-of-ecliptic observations of the polar magnetic field of the Sun

D. Calchetti, S. K. Solanki, J. Hirzberger +25

Direct remote-sensing observations of the solar poles have been hindered by the restricted view obtained from the ecliptic plane. For the first time ever, Solar Orbiter with its re…

Solar limb faculae: intensity contrast from two vantage points

K. Albert, J. Hirzberger, N. A. Krivova +9

Small-scale magnetic flux concentrations contribute significantly to the brightness variations of the Sun, yet observing them - particularly their magnetic field - near the solar l…

Solar photospheric velocities measured in space: a comparison between SO/PHI-HRT and SDO/HMI

D. Calchetti, K. Albert, F. J. Bailén +15

The Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (SO/PHI) onboard Solar Orbiter is a spectropolarimeter scanning the Fe I line at 617.3 nm, providing data of the solar photosphere. The sam…

Supergranulation and Poleward Migration of the Magnetic Field at High Latitudes of the Sun

L. P. Chitta, D. Calchetti, J. Hirzberger +26

Magnetoconvection at the solar surface governs the dynamics in the upper solar atmosphere and sustains the heliosphere. Properties of this fundamental process are poorly described…

Sausage, kink, and fluting MHD wave modes identified in solar magnetic pores by Solar Orbiter/PHI

S. Jafarzadeh, L. A. C. Schiavo, V. Fedun +25

Solar pores are intense concentrations of magnetic flux that emerge through the Sun's photosphere. When compared to sunspots, they are much smaller in diameter and hence can be imp…

Observations of Fan-Spine Topology by Solar Orbiter/EUI: Rotational Motions and Indications of Alfvén Waves

E. Petrova, T. Van Doorsselaere, D. Berghmans +3

Torsional Alfvén waves do not produce any intensity variation and are, therefore, challenging to observe with imaging instruments. Previously, Alfvén wave observations were reporte…

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.…

A multiple spacecraft detection of the 2 April 2022 M-class flare and filament eruption during the first close Solar Orbiter perihelion

M. Janvier, S. Mzerguat, P. R. Young +56

The Solar Orbiter mission completed its first remote-sensing observation windows in the spring of 2022. On 2/4/2022, an M-class flare followed by a filament eruption was seen both…

Wavefront error of PHI/HRT on Solar Orbiter at various heliocentric distances

F. Kahil, A. Gandorfer, J. Hirzberger +31

We use wavefront sensing to characterise the image quality of the the High Resolution Telescope (HRT) of the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (SO/PHI) data products during the…

Accuracy analysis of the on-board data reduction pipeline for the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on the Solar Orbiter mission

Kinga Albert, Johann Hirzberger, J. Sebastián Castellanos Durán +4

Scientific data reduction on-board deep space missions is a powerful approach to maximise science return, in the absence of wide telemetry bandwidths. The Polarimetric and Heliosei…

Direct assessment of SDO/HMI helioseismology of active regions on the Sun's far side using SO/PHI magnetograms

D. Yang, L. Gizon, H. Barucq +47

Earth-side observations of solar p modes can be used to image and monitor magnetic activity on the Sun's far side. Here we use magnetograms of the far side obtained by the Polarime…
