Hinode EIS Observations of Plasma Composition Evolution and Radiative Cooling of Solar Flare Loops
Teodora Mihailescu, Peter R. Young, David H. Brooks +4
Plasma composition in flaring regions has been shown to have significant spatial and temporal variations, likely driven by dynamical processes that take place as a consequence of t…
Coronal Non-Thermal and Doppler Plasma Flows Driven by Photospheric Flux in 28 Active Regions
James McKevitt, Sarah Matthews, Deborah Baker +5
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and/or the braiding of magnetic field lines are largely thought to be responsible for heating the solar corona, both being mechanisms which are driv…
The Non-Eruptive Reconfiguration of a Quiescent Filament After a Nearby Active Region Emergence
James McKevitt, Louise Harra, Gherardo Valori +13
The unpredictability of solar filament eruptions presents major challenges for forecasting space weather, as such eruptions frequently drive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that impa…
Evolution of solar and stellar coronal abundances due to magnetic activity
David H. Brooks, Deborah Baker, David M. Long. Paola Testa +1
We discuss the evolution of solar coronal element abundances over an active region lifetime. Magneto-convection drives the complexity of magnetic fields that emerge above the photo…
