The connection between solar coronal abundances and the underlying lower atmospheric properties

Paola Testa, Juan Martinez-Sykora, Bart De Pontieu +4

Elemental abundances in the solar corona and solar wind are often observed to differ from those in the solar photosphere, most commonly showing an enhancement of low first ionizati…

Hinode EIS Observations of Plasma Composition Evolution and Radiative Cooling of Solar Flare Loops

Teodora Mihailescu, Peter R. Young, David H. Brooks +4

Plasma composition in flaring regions has been shown to have significant spatial and temporal variations, likely driven by dynamical processes that take place as a consequence of t…

XRISM view of a stellar flare: High-resolution Fe K spectra of HR 1099, an RS CVn-type star

Miki Kurihara, Masahiro Tsujimoto, Michael Loewenstein +21

A high-resolution X-ray spectroscopic observation was made of the RS CVn-type binary star HR 1099 using the Resolve instrument onboard XRISM for its calibration purposes. During th…

Radiative hydrodynamic simulations of FIP fractionation in solar flares

Jeffrey W. Reep, Luke Fushimi Benavitz, Andy S. H. To +5

Elemental abundances in solar flares are observed to vary both spatially and temporally, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. There is an interplay between advec…

Systematic non-thermal velocity increase preceding soft X-ray flare onset: A large-scale Hinode/EIS study

Andy S. H. To, Abigail Burden, Deborah Baker +12

Non-thermal velocities, derived from spectral line broadening, can provide crucial insights into plasma dynamics before and during solar flares. To systematically study the pre-fla…

Investigating Solar Wind Outflows from Open-Closed Magnetic Field Structures Using Coordinated Solar Orbiter and Hinode Observations

Nawin Ngampoopun, Roberto Susino, David H. Brooks +13

ESA/NASA's Solar Orbiter (SO) allows us to study the solar corona at closer distances and from different perspectives, which helps us to gain significant insights into the origins…

Sigmoid eruption associated with X9.3 flare from AR 12673 drives gradual SEP event on 2017 September 6

Stephanie L. Yardley, David H. Brooks

Large gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events can pose a radiation risk to crewed spaceflight and a significant threat to near-Earth satellites however, the origin of the SEP…

An elemental abundance diagnostic for coordinated Solar Orbiter/SPICE and Hinode/EIS observations

David H. Brooks, Harry P. Warren, Deborah Baker +2

Plasma composition measurements are a vital tool for the success of current and future solar missions, but density and temperature insensitive spectroscopic diagnostic ratios are s…

Spatially Resolved Plasma Composition Evolution in a Solar Flare -- The Effect of Reconnection Outflow

Andy S. H. To, David H. Brooks, Shinsuke Imada +6

Solar flares exhibit complex variations in elemental abundances compared to photospheric values. We examine the spatial and temporal evolution of coronal abundances in the X8.2 fla…

Searching for evidence of subchromospheric magnetic reconnection on the Sun

D. Baker, L. van Driel-Gesztelyi, A. W. James +13

Within the coronae of stars, abundances of those elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) often differ from their photospheric values. The coronae of the Sun and solar-ty…

Identifying plasma fractionation processes in the chromosphere using IRIS

David M. Long, Deborah Baker, Andy S. H. To +7

The composition of the solar corona differs from that of the photosphere, with the plasma thought to fractionate in the solar chromosphere according to the First Ionisation Potenti…

Intriguing Plasma Composition Pattern in a Solar Active Region: a Result of Non-Resonant Alfvén Waves?

Teodora Mihailescu, David H. Brooks, J. Martin Laming +6

The plasma composition of the solar corona is different from that of the solar photosphere. Elements that have a low first ionisation potential (FIP) are preferentially transported…

On-disc Observations of Flux Rope Formation Prior to its Eruption

A. W. James, L. M. Green, E. Palmerio +6

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are one of the primary manifestations of solar activity and can drive severe space weather effects. Therefore, it is vital to work towards being able…

FIP Bias Evolution in a Decaying Active Region

D. Baker, D. H. Brooks, P. Démoulin +4

Solar coronal plasma composition is typically characterized by first ionization potential (FIP) bias. Using spectra obtained by Hinode's EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) instrument,…
