Quasi-periodic pulsations and three-dimensional magnetic reconnection during 2022 March 31 flare observed by IRIS & STIX
Juraj Lorincik, Hannah Collier, Vanessa Polito +3
Apparent slipping motions of flare ribbon kernels and the formation of hard X-ray (HXR) footpoints are important signatures of magnetic reconnection in solar flares. Ultraviolet (U…
Understanding Solar Flares and Energetic Events: Open questions, observational requirements, and instrumental needs over the coming decade
Malcolm K. Druett, Graham S. Kerr, Joel C. Allred +15
Solar flares are the largest energy-release events in the Solar System, allowing us to study fundamental physical phenomena under extreme conditions. Those include magnetic reconne…
Solar Orbiter's 2024 Major Flare Campaigns: An Overview
Daniel F. Ryan, Laura A. Hayes, Hannah Collier +17
Solar Orbiter conducted a series of flare-optimised observing campaigns in 2024 utilising the Major Flare Solar Orbiter Observing Plan (SOOP). Dedicated observations were performed…
Solar flares in the Solar Orbiter era: Short-exposure EUI/FSI observations of STIX flares
Hannah Collier, Laura A. Hayes, Stefan Purkhart +10
Aims: This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of short-exposure extreme ultraviolet (EUV) observations of solar flares in the study of particle acceleration, heating and ener…
