Statistical Signatures of Nanoflare Activity. I. Monte Carlo Simulations and Parameter-space Exploration
David B. Jess, Chris J. Dillon, Michael S. Kirk +7
Small-scale magnetic reconnection processes, in the form of nanoflares, have become increasingly hypothesized as important mechanisms for the heating of the solar atmosphere, for d…
Multi-wavelength observations of the 2014 June 11 M3.9 flare: temporal and spatial characteristics
Damian J. Christian, David Kuridze, David B. Jess +2
We present multi-wavelength observations of an M-class flare (M3.9) that occurred on 2014 June 11. Our observations were conducted with the Dunn Solar Telescope (DST), adaptive opt…
Propagating Spectropolarimetric Disturbances in a Large Sunspot
M. Stangalini, S. Jafarzadeh, I. Ermolli +7
We present results derived from the analysis of spectropolarimetric measurements of active region AR12546, which represents one of the largest sunspots to have emerged onto the sol…
The polytropic index of solar coronal plasma in sunspot fan loops and its temperature dependence
S. Krishna Prasad, J. O. Raes, T. Van Doorsselaere +2
Observations of slow magneto-acoustic waves have been demonstrated to possess a number of applications in coronal seismology. Determination of the polytropic index () is one suc…
Alfvén Wave Dissipation in the Solar Chromosphere
S. D. T. Grant, D. B. Jess, T. V. Zaqarashvili +7
Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) Alfvén waves have been a focus of laboratory plasma physics and astrophysics for over half a century. Their unique nature makes them ideal energy transpo…
Photospheric observations of surface and body modes in solar magnetic pores
Peter H. Keys, Richard J. Morton, David B. Jess +8
Over the past number of years, great strides have been made in identifying the various low-order magnetohydrodynamic wave modes observable in a number of magnetic structures found…
