A Statistical Survey of Faint Solar X-ray Transients Observed by NuSTAR
Reed B. Masek, Lindsay Glesener, Jessie Duncan +14
In this paper, we use a highly sensitive telescope to characterize solar X-ray transients ranging from microflares in active regions down to weakly energetic brightenings in the qu…
Quiet Sun impulsive events observed with NuSTAR during solar minimum
Sarah Paterson, Iain G. Hannah, Brian W. Grefenstette +6
The investigation of small-scale energy release in the Sun's atmosphere is important in understanding how the corona is heated. Previous work has been able to study small EUV and S…
NuSTAR as an Axion Helioscope
J. Ruz, E. Todarello, J. K. Vogel +11
We present a novel approach to investigating axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) by studying their potential conversion into X-rays within the Sun's atmospheric magnetic field.…
Observations of a Faint Nonthermal Onset before a GOES C-class Flare
Natália Bajnoková, Iain G. Hannah, Hannah Collier +6
We present analysis of a GOES C1-class flare from 2022 September 6, which was jointly observed as occulted by Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope ARray (NuSTAR) and on-disk by Spectrom…
