A magnetic avalanche as the central engine powering a solar flare

L. P. Chitta, D. I. Pontin, E. R. Priest +17

Solar flares are the most powerful, magnetically driven, explosions in the heliosphere. The nature of magnetic energy release in the solar corona that heats the plasma and accelera…

Spatial distributions of EUV brightenings in the quiet-Sun

C. J. Nelson, L. A. Hayes, D. Müller +16

The identification of large numbers of localised transient EUV brightenings, with small spatial scales, in the quiet-Sun corona has been one of the key early results from Solar Orb…

Investigating coronal loop morphology and dynamics from two vantage points

Sudip Mandal, Hardi Peter, James A. Klimchuk +9

Coronal loops serve as the fundamental building blocks of the solar corona. Therefore, comprehending their properties is essential in unraveling the dynamics of the Sun's upper atm…

Coronal voids and their magnetic nature

J. D. Nölke, S. K. Solanki, J. Hirzberger +68

Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) observations of the quiet solar atmosphere reveal extended regions of weak emission compared to the ambient quiescent corona. The magnetic nature of these…

Evolution of dynamic fibrils from the cooler chromosphere to the hotter corona

Sudip Mandal, Hardi Peter, Lakshmi Pradeep Chitta +17

Dynamic fibrils (DFs) are commonly observed chromospheric features in solar active regions. Recent observations from the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) aboard the Solar Orbiter h…

Picoflare jets power the solar wind emerging from a coronal hole on the Sun

L. P. Chitta, A. N. Zhukov, D. Berghmans +17

Coronal holes are areas on the Sun with open magnetic field lines. They are a source region of the solar wind, but how the wind emerges from coronal holes is not known. We observed…
