Probing progression of heating through the lower flare atmosphere via high-cadence IRIS spectroscopy

Juraj Lörinčík, Vanessa Polito, Graham S. Kerr +2

Recent high-cadence flare campaigns by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) have offered new opportunities to study rapid processes characteristic of flare energy relea…

Fe I 6173 Å Emission During White-Light Solar Flares

Samuel Granovsky, Alexander G. Kosovichev, Viacheslav M. Sadykov +2

Between 2017 and 2024, the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory has observed numerous white-light solar flares (WLFs). HMI spectro-polarime…

Precise timing of solar flare footpoint sources from mid-infrared observations

Paulo J. A. Simões, Lyndsay Fletcher, Hugh S. Hudson +3

Solar flares are powerful particle accelerators, and in the accepted standard flare model most of the flare energy is transported from a coronal energy-release region by accelerate…

Solar Flare Ribbon Fronts. II. Evolution of heating rates in individual flare footpoints

Graham S. Kerr, Vanessa Polito, Yan Xu +1

Solar flare ribbon fronts appear ahead of the bright structures that normally characterise solar flares, and can persist for an extended period of time in spatially localised patch…

A Possible Mechanism for "Late Phase" in Stellar White-Light Flares

Kai E. Yang, Xudong Sun, Graham S. Kerr +1

M-dwarf flares observed by the \textit{Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite} (\textit{TESS}) sometimes exhibit a "peak-bump" light-curve morphology, characterized by a secondary,…

An Optically Thin View of the Flaring Chromosphere: Nonthermal widths in a chromospheric condensation during an X-class solar flare

Graham S. Kerr, Adam F. Kowalski, Joel C. Allred +2

The bulk of solar flare energy is deposited in the chromosphere. Flare ribbons and footpoints in the chromosphere therefore offer great diagnostic potential of flare energy release…
