Spectropolarimetric Fluctuations in a Sunspot Chromosphere

M. Stangalini, D. Baker, G. Valori +8

The instrumental advances made in this new era of 4-meter class solar telescopes with unmatched spectropolarimetric accuracy and sensitivity, will enable the study of chromospheric…

Forcing Seasonality of influenza-like epidemics with daily Solar resonance

F. Nicastro, G. Sironi, E. Antonello +9

Seasonality of acute viral respiratory diseases is a well-known and yet not fully understood phenomenon. Several models have been proposed to explain the regularity of yearly recur…

Modelling solar irradiance from ground-based photometric observations

Theodosios Chatzistergos, Ilaria Ermolli, Fabrizio Giorgi +2

Total solar irradiance (TSI) has been monitored from space since 1978. The measurements show a prominent variability in phase with the solar cycle, as well as fluctuations on times…

Unveiling the magnetic nature of chromospheric vortices

Mariarita Murabito, Juie Shetye, Marco Stangalini +5

Vortex structures in the Sun's chromosphere are believed to channel energy between different layers of the solar atmosphere. We investigate the nature and dynamics of two small-sca…

Solar UVBA radiation is highly effective in inactivating SARSCoV2

F. Nicastro, G. Sironi, E. Antonello +9

Solar UVC photons do not reach Earth's surface, but are known to be endowed with germicidal properties that are also effective on viruses. The effect of softer UVB and UVA…
