Disentangling Thermal and Abundance Characteristics in a Solar Flare Using SDO/AIA, Hinode/XRT, and MinXSS-1 Observations
Xiaoyan Xie, Anna Chen, Crisel Suarez +5
We investigate the thermal properties of a solar flare by the observations of soft X-ray Telescope (XRT) on board Hinode and the Atmospheric Image Assembly on board the Solar Dynam…
Supra-arcade downflows in an extensive fan associated with a giant quiescent solar filament eruption
Xiaoyan Xie, Katharine Reeves, Chengcai Shen +6
We investigate the aftermath of a giant quiescent solar filament eruption on December 24, 2023. One feature of the eruption is an extensive fan above the filament channel that is a…
Energy Conversion and Electron Acceleration and Transport in 3D Simulations of Solar Flares
Xiaocan Li, Chengcai Shen, Xiaoyan Xie +6
Recent observations and simulations indicate that solar flares undergo extremely complex three-dimensional (3D) evolution, making 3D particle transport models essential for underst…
Anisotropic Turbulent Flows Observed in Above the Loop-top Regions During Solar Flares
Xiaoyan Xie, Chengcai Shen, Katharine Reeves +6
Solar flare above-the-loop-top (ALT) regions are vital for understanding solar eruptions and fundamental processes in plasma physics. Recent advances in 3D MHD simulations have rev…
