Probing the properties of active regions in the solar interface region using full-disk spectroheliograms

Éabha Power, David M. Long, Teodora Mihailescu +1

The composition of plasma in the solar corona is characterised by the First Ionisation Potential (FIP) bias, and is thought to be the result of a ponderomotive force acting in the…

Spatiotemporal evolution of UV pulsations and their connection to 3D magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration

Stefan Purkhart, Hannah Collier, Laura A. Hayes +3

Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) are a common feature of impulsive solar flare emissions, yet their driving mechanism(s) remain unresolved. We study long-period (3.4 min) QPPs in t…

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…

Probing progression of heating through the lower flare atmosphere via high-cadence IRIS spectroscopy

Juraj Lörinčík, Vanessa Polito, Graham S. Kerr +2

Recent high-cadence flare campaigns by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) have offered new opportunities to study rapid processes characteristic of flare energy relea…

Quasi-Periodic Pulsations in Ionospheric TEC Synchronized with Solar Flare EUV Emission

Aisling N. O'Hare, Susanna Bekker, Laura A. Hayes +1

The extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray radiation emitted during solar flares has been shown to significantly increase the electron density of the Earth's ionosphere. During flares…

Bursty acceleration and 3D trajectories of electrons in a solar flare

Shilpi Bhunia, Laura A. Hayes, Karl Ludwig Klein +3

During a solar flare, electrons are accelerated to non-thermal energies as a result of magnetic reconnection. These electrons then propagate upwards and downwards from the energy r…

X-ray and Spectral UV Observations of Periodic Pulsations in a Solar Flare Fan/Looptop

Ryan J. French, Laura A. Hayes, Maria D. Kazachenko +3

We present simultaneous X-ray and spectral ultraviolet (UV) observations of strikingly-coherent oscillations in emission from a coronal looptop and fan structure, during the impuls…

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…
