Non-thermal Broadening of IRIS Fe XXI Lines Caused by Turbulent Plasma Flows in the Magnetic Reconnection Region During Solar Eruptions

Chengcai Shen, Vanessa Polito, Katharine K. Reeves +3

Magnetic reconnection is the key mechanism for energy release in solar eruptions, where the high-temperature emission is the primary diagnostic for investigating the plasma propert…

Rapid variations of Si IV spectra in a flare observed by IRIS at a sub-second cadence

Juraj Lorincik, Vanessa Polito, Bart De Pontieu +2

We report on observations of highly-varying Si IV 1402.77 line profiles observed with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) during the M-class flare from 2022 January 18…

Chromospheric emission from nanoflare heating in RADYN simulations

H. Bakke, M. Carlsson, L. Rouppe van der Voort +4

Heating signatures from small-scale magnetic reconnection events in the solar atmosphere have proven to be difficult to detect through observations. Numerical models that reproduce…

The Formation and Lifetime of Outflows in a Solar Active Region

David H. Brooks, Louise Harra, Stuart D. Bale +4

Active regions are thought to be one contributor to the slow solar wind. Upflows in EUV coronal spectral lines are routinely osberved at their boundaries, and provide the most dire…

Future perspectives in solar hot plasma observations in the soft X-rays

Alain Jody Corso, Giulio Del Zanna, Vanessa Polito

The soft X-rays (SXRs: 90--150 ) are among the most interesting spectral ranges to be investigated in the next generation of solar missions due to their unique capability of dia…

He I 10830 Å Dimming During Solar Flares, I. The Crucial Role of Non-Thermal Collisional Ionisations

Graham S. Kerr, Yan Xu, Joel C. Allred +4

While solar flares are predominantly characterised by an intense broadband enhancement to the solar radiative output, certain spectral lines and continua will, in theory, exhibit f…
