A view of the evolution of a CME and the associated wave-trains at high spatial and temporal resolution

G. Russano, Y. De Leo, F. Frassati +13

Context. Studying the kinematic and dynamic evolution of fast eruptive events from the middle to high solar corona is a primary objective of the Metis coronagraph on Solar Orbiter.…

First detection of acoustic-like flux in the middle solar corona

V. Andretta, L. Abbo, G. Jerse +28

Waves are thought to play a significant role in the heating of the solar atmosphere and the acceleration of the wind. Among the many types of waves observed in the Sun, the so-call…

Metis Observations of Alfvénic Outflows Driven by Interchange Reconnection in a Pseudostreamer

P. Romano, P. Wyper, V. Andretta +33

This study presents observations of a large pseudostreamer solar eruption and, in particular, the post-eruption relaxation phase, as captured by Metis onboard the Solar Orbiter on…

Eruptive events with exceptionally bright emission in HI Ly-alpha observed by the Metis coronagraph

G. Russano, V. Andretta, Y. De Leo +29

Metis, the coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter, provides for the first time coronagraphic imaging in the ultraviolet HI Ly-alpha line and, simultaneously, in polarized visible light…

Particle monitoring capability of the Solar Orbiter Metis coronagraph through the increasing phase of solar cycle 25

Catia Grimani, Vincenzo Andretta, Ester Antonucci +26

Context. Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar particles with energies greater than tens of MeV penetrate spacecraft and instruments hosted aboard space missions. The Solar Orbiter…

Coronal Heating Rate in the Slow Solar Wind

Daniele Telloni, Marco Romoli, Marco Velli +59

This Letter reports the first observational estimate of the heating rate in the slowly expanding solar corona. The analysis exploits the simultaneous remote and local observations…
