CLEAN and multi-scale CLEAN for STIX in Solar Orbiter
Miriana Catalano, Anna Volpara, Paolo Massa +2
CLEAN is a well-established deconvolution approach to Fourier imaging at both radio wavelwengths and hard X-ray energies. However, specifically for hard X-ray imaging, CLEAN suffer…
Variably Scaled Kernels for the regularized solution of the parametric Fourier imaging problem
Anna Volpara, Alessandro Lupoli, Emma Perracchione
We address the problem of approximating parametric Fourier imaging problems via interpolation/ extrapolation algorithms that impose smoothing constraints across contiguous values o…
Solar flares as electron accelerators: toward a resolution of the acceleration efficiency issue
Anna Volpara, Paolo Massa, Michele Piana +2
A major open issue concerning the active Sun is the effectiveness with which magnetic reconnection accelerates electrons in flares. A paper published by {\em{Nature}} in 2022 used…
Using the STIX background detector as a proxy for GOES
Muriel Zoë Stiefel, Matej Kuhar, Olivier Limousin +4
Context. The Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-Rays (STIX) onboard Solar Orbiter was designed to observe solar flares in the X-ray range of 4-150 keV, providing spectral, tempor…
RIS: Regularized Imaging Spectroscopy for STIX on-board Solar Orbiter
Anna Volpara, Alessandro Lupoli, Frank Filbir +3
Imaging spectroscopy, i.e., the generation of spatially resolved count spectra and of cubes of count maps at different energies, is one of the main goals of solar hard X-ray missio…
AI-FLARES: Artificial Intelligence for the Analysis of Solar Flares Data
Michele Piana, Federico Benvenuto, Anna Maria Massone +6
AI-FLARES (Artificial Intelligence for the Analysis of Solar Flares Data) is a research project funded by the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana and by the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica…
Variation of the electron flux spectrum along a solar flare loop as inferred from STIX hard X-ray observations
Anna Volpara, Paolo Massa, Sam Krucker +3
Regularized imaging spectroscopy was introduced for the construction of electron flux images at different energies from count visibilities recorded by the Reuven Ramaty High Energy…
Unbiased CLEAN for STIX in Solar Orbiter
Emma Perracchione, Fabiana Camattari, Anna Volpara +3
Aims: To formulate, implement, and validate a user-independent release of CLEAN for Fourier-based image reconstruction of hard X-rays flaring sources. Methods: CLEAN is an iterativ…
Mapped Variably Scaled Kernels: Applications to Solar Imaging
Francesco Marchetti, Emma Perracchione, Anna Volpara +3
Variably scaled kernels and mapped bases constructed via the so-called fake nodes approach are two different strategies to provide adaptive bases for function interpolation. In thi…
Multi-scale CLEAN in hard X-ray solar imaging
Anna Volpara, Michele Piana, Anna Maria Massone
Multi-scale deconvolution is an ill-posed inverse problem in imaging, with applications ranging from microscopy, through medical imaging, to astronomical remote sensing. In the cas…
