Responses of the X-ray spectrometer/imager STIX onboard Solar Orbiter
Hualin Xiao, Olivier Limousin, Ewan Dickson +1
Solar flares are explosive events that release X-rays from hot plasma and accelerated electrons. The STIX instrument on the Solar Orbiter provides imaging spectroscopy of solar X-r…

Constraining turbulent solar flare acceleration regions by connecting kinetic modeling and X-ray observations
Morgan Stores, Natasha Jeffrey, Ewan Dickson +2
Spatially-resolved X-ray observations are the key to understanding electron acceleration in solar flares. Currently, the underlying processes that efficiently energize solar flare…

Using the STIX background detector as a proxy for GOES
Muriel Zoë Stiefel, Matej Kuhar, Olivier Limousin +4
Context. The Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-Rays (STIX) onboard Solar Orbiter was designed to observe solar flares in the X-ray range of 4-150 keV, providing spectral, tempor…
