A Statistical Survey of Faint Solar X-ray Transients Observed by NuSTAR

Reed B. Masek, Lindsay Glesener, Jessie Duncan +14

In this paper, we use a highly sensitive telescope to characterize solar X-ray transients ranging from microflares in active regions down to weakly energetic brightenings in the qu…

Quiet Sun impulsive events observed with NuSTAR during solar minimum

Sarah Paterson, Iain G. Hannah, Brian W. Grefenstette +6

The investigation of small-scale energy release in the Sun's atmosphere is important in understanding how the corona is heated. Previous work has been able to study small EUV and S…

Observations of a Faint Nonthermal Onset before a GOES C-class Flare

Natália Bajnoková, Iain G. Hannah, Hannah Collier +6

We present analysis of a GOES C1-class flare from 2022 September 6, which was jointly observed as occulted by Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray (NuSTAR) and on-disk by Spectrom…

Ion-rich acceleration during an eruptive flux rope event in a multiple null-point configuration

Melissa Pesce-Rollins, Alexander MacKinnon, Karl-Ludwig Klein +8

We report on the -ray emission above 100~MeV from the GOES M3.3 flare SOL2012-06-03. The hard X-ray (HXR) and microwave emissions have typical time profiles with a fast rise to…

The existence of hot X-ray onsets in solar flares

Andrea Francesco Battaglia, Hugh Hudson, Alexander Warmuth +9

It is well known among the scientific community that solar flare activity often begins well before the main impulsive energy release. Our aim is to investigate the earliest phase o…

NuSTAR Observation of Energy Release in Eleven Solar Microflares

Jessie Duncan, Lindsay Glesener, Brian W. Grefenstette +6

Solar flares are explosive releases of magnetic energy. Hard X-ray (HXR) flare emission originates from both hot (millions of Kelvin) plasma and nonthermal accelerated particles, g…
