Revealing Flare Energetics and Dynamics with SDO EVE Solar Extreme Ultraviolet Spectral Irradiance Observations

Thomas N. Woods, Phillip C. Chamberlin, Andrew Jones +7

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Extreme-ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE) has been making solar full-disk extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectral measurements since 2010…

Small Platforms, High Return: The Need to Enhance Investment in Small Satellites for Focused Science, Career Development, and Improved Equity

James Paul Mason, Robert G. Begbie, Maitland Bowen +33

In the next decade, there is an opportunity for very high return on investment of relatively small budgets by elevating the priority of smallsat funding in heliophysics. We've lear…

Transient Foreshock Structures Upstream of Mars: Implications of the Small Martian Bow Shock

H. Madanian, N. Omidi, D. G. Sibeck +11

We characterize the nature of magnetic structures in the foreshock region of Mars associated with discontinuities in the solar wind. The structures form at the upstream edge of mov…

SunCET: A compact EUV instrument to fill a critical observational gap

James Paul Mason, Phillip C. Chamberlin, Daniel Seaton +16

The Sun Coronal Ejection Tracker (SunCET) is an extreme ultraviolet imager and spectrograph instrument concept for tracking coronal mass ejections through the region where they exp…

Observations of Ultrafast Kelvin Wave Breaking in the Mars Thermosphere

Edward M. B. Thiemann, Nicholas D. Entin, Stephen Bougher +3

Ultrafast Kelvin Waves (UFKWs) have been recently discovered at Mars using measurements by the Mars Atmosphere and Evolution (MAVEN) Accelerometer (ACC) instrument and the Mars Rec…

Mars Thermospheric Variability Revealed by MAVEN EUVM Solar Occultations: Structure at Aphelion and Perihelion, and Response to EUV Forcing

E. M. B. Thiemann, F. G. Eparvier, S. W. Bougher +6

The Mars thermosphere holds clues to the evolution of the Martian climate, and has practical implications for spacecraft visiting Mars, which often use it for aerobraking upon arri…

Center-to-Limb Variability of Hot Coronal EUV Emissions During Solar Flares

Edward Thiemann, Phillip Chamberlin, Francis Eparvier +1

It is generally accepted that densities of quiet sun and active region plasma are sufficiently low to justify the optically thin approximation, and it is commonly used in the analy…

Rosetta photoelectron emission and solar ultraviolet flux at comet 67P

Fredrik L. Johansson, E. Odelstad, J. J. P. Paulsson +10

The Langmuir Probe instrument on Rosetta monitored the photoelectron emission cur- rent of the probes during the Rosetta mission at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, in essence acti…

Vertical Thermospheric Density Profiles from EUV Solar Occultations made by PROBA2 LYRA for Solar Cycle 24

E. M. B. Thiemann, M. Dominique, M. D. Pilinski +1

A new dataset of summed neutral N2 and O number density profiles, spanning altitudes between 150 and 400 km, and observed during Northern Winter from 2010 through 2016 is presented…

A time dependent relation between EUV solar flare light-curves from lines with differing formation temperatures

Edward M. B. Thiemann, Francis G. Eparvier, Thomas N. Woods

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) solar flare emissions evolve in time as the emitting plasma heats and then cools. Although accurately modeling this evolution has been historically diffic…
