Energy Evolution from the Chromosphere to the Heliosphere in the 2021 October 28 Solar Eruption

Katharine K. Reeves, Daniel B. Seaton, Cynthia Cattell +20

We perform a detailed study of the energetics for a well-observed solar eruption and flare that occurred on 28 October 2021. This event included a GOES class X1.0 flare, a global E…

Multi-Viewpoint Observation of a Failed Prominence Eruption on the Sun

Tingyu Gou, Katharine K. Reeves, Peter R. Young +5

Solar eruptions are sudden ejections of coronal mass and magnetic fields accompanied by intense energy release. The eruptive structure does not always erupt successfully, but somet…

Heating of a plasma sheet in nonequilibrium ionization with nonthermal electrons

Jin-Yi Lee, John C. Raymond, Katharine K. Reeves +4

A flux rope eruption on September 10, 2017 provides unique observations of the plasma sheet beneath the rising flux rope. The plasma sheet is likely in a nonequilibrium state in te…

Disentangling Thermal and Abundance Characteristics in a Solar Flare Using SDO/AIA, Hinode/XRT, and MinXSS-1 Observations

Xiaoyan Xie, Anna Chen, Crisel Suarez +5

We investigate the thermal properties of a solar flare by the observations of soft X-ray Telescope (XRT) on board Hinode and the Atmospheric Image Assembly on board the Solar Dynam…

Supra-arcade downflows in an extensive fan associated with a giant quiescent solar filament eruption

Xiaoyan Xie, Katharine Reeves, Chengcai Shen +6

We investigate the aftermath of a giant quiescent solar filament eruption on December 24, 2023. One feature of the eruption is an extensive fan above the filament channel that is a…

Spectroscopic Observations of Supra-Arcade Downflows

Ryan J. French, Maria D. Kazachenko, Teodora Mihailescu +1

Despite their somewhat-frequent appearance in EUV imaging of off-limb flares, the origins of Supra-Arcade Downflows (SADs) remain a mystery. Appearing as dark, tendril-like downflo…
