Investigating Solar Wind Outflows from Open-Closed Magnetic Field Structures Using Coordinated Solar Orbiter and Hinode Observations

Nawin Ngampoopun, Roberto Susino, David H. Brooks +13

ESA/NASA's Solar Orbiter (SO) allows us to study the solar corona at closer distances and from different perspectives, which helps us to gain significant insights into the origins…

Study of solar brightness profiles in the 18-26 GHz frequency range with INAF radio telescopes II. Evidence for coronal emission

M. Marongiu, A. Pellizzoni, S. Righini +43

One of the most important objectives of solar physics is the physical understanding of the solar atmosphere, the structure of which is also described in terms of the density (N) an…

Eruptive events with exceptionally bright emission in HI Ly-alpha observed by the Metis coronagraph

G. Russano, V. Andretta, Y. De Leo +29

Metis, the coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter, provides for the first time coronagraphic imaging in the ultraviolet HI Ly-alpha line and, simultaneously, in polarized visible light…

First light observations of the solar wind in the outer corona with the Metis coronagraph

M. Romoli, E. Antonucci, V. Andretta +65

The investigation of the wind in the solar corona initiated with the observations of the resonantly scattered UV emission of the coronal plasma obtained with UVCS-SOHO, designed to…
