Elemental Composition Evolution during the 2024 September 30 Solar Eruption: A Comparison of Hot and Cool Plasma Components with Solar Orbiter/SPICE, Hinode/EIS, and Chandrayaan-2/XSM
Momchil Molnar, Joseph Plowman, Amir Caspi +7
Solar plasma composition differs between the photosphere and corona over a range of timescales, with preferential enhancement of elements with low first ionization potential (FIP).…
Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74
The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…
Citizen CATE 2024: Extending Totality During the 8 April 2024 Total Solar Eclipse with a Distributed Network of Community Participants
Sarah A. Kovac, Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton +240
The Citizen CATE 2024 next-generation experiment placed 43 identical telescope and camera setups along the path of totality during the total solar eclipse (TSE) on 8 April 2024 to…
Evolution of Flare Ribbon Bead-like Structures in a Solar Flare
Ryan J. French, Maria D. Kazachenko, David Berghmans +6
We present fast cadence and high resolution observations of flare ribbons from the Solar Orbiter Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI). Utilizing the short-exposure observations from th…
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…
Dynamics of Reconnection Nanojets in Eruptive and Confined Solar Flares
Annu Bura, Arpit Kumar Shrivastav, Ritesh Patel +6
Recent observations reveal small-scale reconnection-driven plasma ejections, often termed nanojets, triggered by magnetic field interactions at slight misalignment angles. These fa…
