Particle acceleration in solar flares with imaging-spectroscopy in soft X-rays
Mitsuo Oka, Amir Caspi, Bin Chen +15
Particles are accelerated to very high, non-thermal energies during explosive energy-release phenomena in space, solar, and astrophysical plasma environments. In the case of solar…
The First Flight of the Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS)
Sabrina L. Savage, Amy R. Winebarger, Ken Kobayashi +34
The Marshall Grazing Incidence X-ray Spectrometer (MaGIXS) sounding rocket experiment launched on July 30, 2021 from the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. MaGIXS is a unique…
Dominance of Bursty over Steady Heating of the 4--8 MK Coronal Plasma in a Solar Active Region: Quantification using Maps of Minimum, Maximum, and Average Brightness
Sanjiv K. Tiwari, Lucy A. Wilkerson, Navdeep K. Panesar +2
A challenge in characterizing active region (AR) coronal heating is in separating transient (bursty) loop heating from the diffuse background (steady) heating. We present a method…
Chromospheric and Coronal heating in active region plage by dissipation of currents from braiding
Souvik Bose, Bart De Pontieu, Viggo Hansteen +3
It remains unclear which physical processes are responsible for the dramatic increase with height of the temperature in stellar atmospheres, known as the chromospheric (10,00…
Quiet Sun Center to Limb Variation of the Linear Polarization Observed by CLASP2 Across the Mg II h & k Lines
L. A. Rachmeler, J. Trujillo Bueno, D. E. McKenzie +25
The CLASP2 (Chromospheric LAyer SpectroPolarimeter 2) sounding rocket mission was launched on 2019 April 11. CLASP2 measured the four Stokes parameters of the Mg II h & k spectral…
Parallel plasma loops and the energization of the solar corona
Hardi Peter, Lakshmi Pradeep Chitta, Feng Chen +15
The outer atmosphere of the Sun is composed of plasma heated to temperatures well in excess of the visible surface. We investigate short cool and warm (<1 MK) loops seen in the cor…
