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…

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…

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…
