Analysis of sudden variations in photospheric magnetic fields during a large flare and their influences in the solar atmosphere

Brajesh Kumar, A. Raja Bayanna, P. Venkatakrishnan +1

The solar active region NOAA 11719 produced a large two-ribbon flare on 11 April 2013. We have investigated the sudden variations in the photospheric magnetic fields in this active…

Observations of Supersonic Downflows in a Sunspot Light Bridge as Revealed by Hinode

Rohan E. Louis, Luis R. Bellot Rubio, Shibu K. Mathew +1

Recent high resolution spectropolarimetric observations from Hinode detected the presence of supersonic downflows in a sunspot light bridge (Louis et al. 2009). These downflows occ…

On the flare induced seismicity in the active region NOAA 10930 and related enhancement of global waves in the sun

Brajesh Kumar, P. Venkatakrishnan, Savita Mathur +2

A major flare (of class X3.4) occurred on 13 December 2006 in the active region NOAA 10930. The energy released during flares is also known to induce acoustic oscillations in the S…
