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…
Intriguing Plasma Composition Pattern in a Solar Active Region: a Result of Non-Resonant Alfvén Waves?
Teodora Mihailescu, David H. Brooks, J. Martin Laming +6
The plasma composition of the solar corona is different from that of the solar photosphere. Elements that have a low first ionisation potential (FIP) are preferentially transported…
Particle monitoring capability of the Solar Orbiter Metis coronagraph through the increasing phase of solar cycle 25
Catia Grimani, Vincenzo Andretta, Ester Antonucci +26
Context. Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar particles with energies greater than tens of MeV penetrate spacecraft and instruments hosted aboard space missions. The Solar Orbiter…
Coronal Heating Rate in the Slow Solar Wind
Daniele Telloni, Marco Romoli, Marco Velli +59
This Letter reports the first observational estimate of the heating rate in the slowly expanding solar corona. The analysis exploits the simultaneous remote and local observations…
Spectropolarimetric investigation of magnetohydrodynamic wave modes in the photosphere: First results from PHI on board Solar Orbiter
D. Calchetti, M. Stangalini, S. Jafarzadeh +31
In November 2021, Solar Orbiter started its nominal mission phase. The remote-sensing instruments on board the spacecraft acquired scientific data during three observing windows su…
Observational Evidence of S-Web Source of the Slow Solar Wind
D. Baker, P. Demoulin, S. L. Yardley +25
From 2022 March 18-21, active region (AR) 12967 was tracked simultaneously by Solar Orbiter (SO) at 0.35 au and Hinode/EIS at Earth. During this period, strong blue-shifted plasma…
Does Turbulence along the Coronal Current Sheet Drive Ion Cyclotron Waves?
Daniele Telloni, Gary P. Zank, Laxman Adhikari +32
Evidence for the presence of ion cyclotron waves, driven by turbulence, at the boundaries of the current sheet is reported in this paper. By exploiting the full potential of the jo…
Slow wind belt in the quiet solar corona
E. Antonucci, C. Downs, G. E. Capuano +16
The slow solar wind belt in the quiet corona, observed with the Metis coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter on May 15, 2020, during the activity minimum of the cycle 24, in a field of…
In-flight validation of Metis Visible-light Polarimeter Coronagraph on board Solar Orbiter
A. Liberatore, S. Fineschi, M. Casti +21
Context. The Metis coronagraph is one of the remote-sensing instruments of the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission. Metis is aimed at the study of the solar atmosphere and solar wind by…
