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).…

SADCat: A Catalog of Supra-Arcade Downflow Events in Solar Flares

Trestan F. Simon, Ryan J. French

Supra-arcade downflows (SADs) are sunward-traveling features routinely observed in hot fan structures above magnetic loop arcades during eruptive solar flares. We manually compiled…

Investigating Pre-flare Signatures in Spectroscopic Observations of an X9-class Solar Flare

Louis Seyfritz, Maria Kazachenko, Ryan French

On October 3rd, 2024, the Sun emitted an X9.0-class flare from active region NOAA 13842. The event was recorded by multiple space-based instruments, beginning hours before the erup…

Evolution of Spatial Complexity in Flare Ribbon Substructure and Its Relationship to Magnetic Reconnection Dynamics

Marcel F. Corchado Albelo, Maria D. Kazachenko, Ryan J. French +5

Recent three-dimensional flare models suggest that flare-ribbon substructure is linked to the fragmentation of the reconnecting current sheet in the corona. Flare-ribbon substructu…

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…
