Sulfur fractionation in coronal plumes as observed by Solar Orbiter/SPICE
Slimane Mzerguat, Miho Janvier, Eric Buchlin +4
Coronal plumes are bright, narrow structures rooted in coronal holes that contribute to the solar wind. Their composition, particularly elemental fractionation as a function of fir…
Systematic non-thermal velocity increase preceding soft X-ray flare onset: A large-scale Hinode/EIS study
Andy S. H. To, Abigail Burden, Deborah Baker +12
Non-thermal velocities, derived from spectral line broadening, can provide crucial insights into plasma dynamics before and during solar flares. To systematically study the pre-fla…
First coordinated observations between Solar Orbiter and the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope
Krzysztof Barczynski, Miho Janvier, Chris J. Nelson +8
Solar Orbiter and the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) are two of the newest facilities available to the solar physics community. The first coordinated observations of the…
Spatiotemporal evolution of UV pulsations and their connection to 3D magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration
Stefan Purkhart, Hannah Collier, Laura A. Hayes +3
Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) are a common feature of impulsive solar flare emissions, yet their driving mechanism(s) remain unresolved. We study long-period (3.4 min) QPPs in t…
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…
