Signatures of photospheric convection throughout the solar atmosphere: the EVE Sun-as-a-star mHz continuum

Hugh Hudson, Anne-Marie Broomhall, Lyndsay Fletcher +5

Convectively driven motions in the solar photosphere can generate broadband Doppler variability across the chromosphere, transition region and corona. Here we investigate this vari…

The greatest GOES soft X-ray flares: Saturation and recalibration over two Hale cycles

Hugh Hudson, Ed Cliver, Stephen White +5

The solar soft X-ray observations from the GOES satellites provide one of the best quantitative records of solar activity, with nearly continuous flare records since 1975. We prese…

Behaviour of molecular hydrogen emission in three solar flares

Sargam M. Mulay, Lyndsay Fletcher, Hugh Hudson +1

We have systematically investigated ultraviolet (UV) emission from molecular hydrogen (H) using the Interface Region Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS), during three X-ray flares of…

The Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI)

Steven Christe, Meriem Alaoui, Joel Allred +26

FOXSI is a direct-imaging, hard X-ray (HXR) telescope optimized for solar flare observations. It detects hot plasma and energetic electrons in and near energy release sites in the…

Magnetic Energy Powers the Corona: How We Can Understand its 3D Storage & Release

Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton, Roberto Casini +12

The coronal magnetic field is the prime driver behind many as-yet unsolved mysteries: solar eruptions, coronal heating, and the solar wind, to name a few. It is, however, still poo…

Improving Multi-Dimensional Data Formats, Access, and Assimilation Tools for the Twenty-First Century

Daniel B. Seaton, Amir Caspi, Roberto Casini +12

Heliophysics image data largely relies on a forty-year-old ecosystem built on the venerable Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) data standard. While many in situ measurements us…

An Observational Overview of Solar Flares

Lyndsay Fletcher, Brian R. Dennis, Hugh S. Hudson +12

We present an overview of solar flares and associated phenomena, drawing upon a wide range of observational data primarily from the RHESSI era. Following an introductory discussion…
