First results from PADRE/MeDDEA: X-rays from a flare and its CME
Muriel Zoë Stiefel, Säm Krucker, Olivier Limousin +22
The MeDDEA hard X-ray spectrometer onboard NASAs PADRE CubeSat operates four flight-spare detectors from the Solar Orbiter/STIX instrument. This paper aims to evaluate the accuracy…
Count-based spectral component imaging (CCI) of solar flares in X-rays
Alessia Guidetti, Muriel Zoë Stiefel, Paolo Massa +3
X-ray emission in solar flares is produced by both multi-thermal plasma and accelerated electrons. Classical imaging approaches reconstruct X-ray intensity maps which contain contr…
Fine-scale flare structures and their energetic implications from short-exposure extreme-ultraviolet imaging
Laura A. Hayes, Hannah Collier, Säm Krucker +5
To capture the brightest and most rapidly evolving phases of solar flares, the Major Flare Solar Orbiter Observing Plan employed a dedicated short-exposure mode for the High Resolu…
Non-thermal Sources from Stereoscopic Hard X-ray and Earth-based Microwave Observations in a Data-Constrained Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation
Keitarou Matsumoto, Satoshi Inoue, Meiqi Wang +5
We analyze the X7.1 flare on 2024 October 1 from NOAA AR 13842 using hard X-ray (HXR) imaging, microwave observations by the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA), and a three-…
The Non-Eruptive Reconfiguration of a Quiescent Filament After a Nearby Active Region Emergence
James McKevitt, Louise Harra, Gherardo Valori +13
The unpredictability of solar filament eruptions presents major challenges for forecasting space weather, as such eruptions frequently drive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that impa…
Stereoscopic Observations of Solar X-ray Sources Explained by a Data-Constrained Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation
Keitarou Matsumoto, Satoshi Inoue, Meiqi Wang +6
We investigated the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic structures and dynamics responsible for particle acceleration in an X7.1-class flare that occurred on October 1, 2024, in NOAA a…
Spectral component imaging of solar X-ray flares
Muriel Zoë Stiefel, Paolo Massa, Alessia Guidetti +2
Solar hard X-ray observations provide diagnostics of the hottest plasmas and of nonthermal electron populations present during solar flares and coronal mass ejections. HXR images o…
Superhot (> 30 MK) flare observations with STIX: Joint spectral fitting
Muriel Zoë Stiefel, Natália Bajnoková, Säm Krucker
Spectroscopic analysis of large flares (>X1) in the hard X-ray (HXR) range offers unique insights into the hottest (> 30 MK) flare plasma, the so-called superhot thermal component.…
Near-continuous tracking of solar active region NOAA 13664 over three solar rotations
I. Kontogiannis, Y. Zhu, K. Barczynski +6
Magnetic flux emergence and decay in the Sun span from days to months. However, their tracking is typically limited to about half a solar rotation when relying on single-vantage-po…
Measuring the Magnetic Field of a Coronal Mass Ejection from Low to Middle Corona
Xingyao Chen, Bin Chen, Sijie Yu +44
A major challenge in understanding the initiation and evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is measuring the magnetic field of the magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) that drive CMEs.…
Solar Orbiter's 2024 Major Flare Campaigns: An Overview
Daniel F. Ryan, Laura A. Hayes, Hannah Collier +17
Solar Orbiter conducted a series of flare-optimised observing campaigns in 2024 utilising the Major Flare Solar Orbiter Observing Plan (SOOP). Dedicated observations were performed…
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…
The observational evidence that all microflares that accelerate electrons to high energies are rooted in sunspots
Andrea Francesco Battaglia, Säm Krucker, Astrid M. Veronig +6
In general, large solar flares are more efficient at accelerating high-energy electrons than microflares. Nonetheless, we sometimes observe microflares that accelerate electrons to…
