Quasi-periodic pulsations in solar flares: a key diagnostic of energy release on the Sun

Andrew Inglis, Laura Hayes, Silvina Guidoni +18

Solar flares are among the most powerful and disruptive events in our solar system, however the physical mechanisms driving and transporting this energetic release are not fully un…

A blueprint of state-of-the-art techniques for detecting quasi-periodic pulsations in solar and stellar flares

Anne-Marie Broomhall, James R. A. Davenport, Laura A. Hayes +9

Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) appear to be a common feature observed in the light curves of both solar and stellar flares. However, their quasi-periodic nature, along with the f…
