The Origin of Underdense Plasma Downflows Associated with Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Flares
Chengcai Shen, Bin Chen, Katharine K. Reeves +3
Magnetic reconnection is a universal process that powers explosive energy release events such as solar flares, geomagnetic substorms, and some astrophysical jets. A characteristic…
Constraining the CME Core Heating and Energy Budget with SOHO/UVCS
Maurice L. Wilson, John C. Raymond, Susan T. Lepri +4
We describe the energy budget of a coronal mass ejection (CME) observed on 1999 May 17 with the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS). We constrain the physical properties of…
Thermodynamic Evolution of Solar Flare Supra-arcade Downflows
Z. F. Li, X. Cheng, M. D. Ding +4
Solar flares are rapid energy release phenomena that appear as bright ribbons in the chromosphere and high-temperature loops in the corona, respectively. Supra-arcade Downflows (SA…
Probing the Physics of the Solar Atmosphere with the Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE): II. Flares and Eruptions
Mark C. M. Cheung, Juan Martínez-Sykora, Paola Testa +25
Current state-of-the-art spectrographs cannot resolve the fundamental spatial (sub-arcseconds) and temporal scales (less than a few tens of seconds) of the coronal dynamics of sola…
A new view of the solar interface region from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS)
B. De Pontieu, V. Polito, V. Hansteen +11
The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) has been obtaining near- and far-ultraviolet images and spectra of the solar atmosphere since July 2013. The unique combination of…
Plasma Heating Induced by Tadpole-Like Downflows in the Flaring Solar Corona
Tanmoy Samanta, Hui Tian, Bin Chen +4
As one of the most spectacular energy release events in the solar system, solar flares are generally powered by magnetic reconnection in the solar corona. As a result of the re-arr…
Energetic Electron Distribution of the Coronal Acceleration Region: First results from Joint Microwave and Hard X-ray Imaging Spectroscopy
Bin Chen, Marina Battaglia, Säm Krucker +2
Nonthermal sources located above bright flare arcades, referred to as the "above-the-loop-top" sources, have been often suggested as the primary electron acceleration site in major…
