Interrogating Solar Flare Loop Models with IRIS Observations 1: Overview of the Models, and Mass flows

Graham S. Kerr

Solar flares are transient yet dramatic events in the atmosphere of the Sun, during which a vast amount of magnetic energy is liberated. This energy is subsequently transported thr…

Interrogating Solar Flare Loop Models with IRIS Observations 2: Plasma Properties, Energy Transport, and Future Directions

Graham S. Kerr

During solar flares a tremendous amount of magnetic energy is released and transported through the Sun's atmosphere and out into the heliosphere. Despite over a century of study, m…

Solar Flare Ribbon Fronts I: Constraining flare energy deposition with IRIS spectroscopy

Vanessa Polito, Graham S. Kerr, Yan Xu +2

Lower atmospheric lines show peculiar profiles at the leading edge of ribbons during solar flares. In particular, increased absorption of the BBSO/GST \hei~10830~Å line \citep[e.g.…

Radiative losses in the chromosphere during a C-class flare

Rahul Yadav, J. de la Cruz Rodríguez, Graham S. Kerr +2

Solar flares release an enormous amount of energy into the corona. A substantial fraction of this energy is transported to the lower atmosphere, which results in chromospheric heat…

Solar Flare Heating with Turbulent Suppression of Thermal Conduction

Joel C. Allred, Graham S. Kerr, A. Gordon Emslie

During solar flares plasma is typically heated to very high temperatures, and the resulting redistribution of energy via thermal conduction is a primary mechanism transporting ener…

The Atmospheric Response to High Nonthermal Electron Beam Fluxes in Solar Flares. II. Hydrogen Broadening Predictions for Solar Flare Observations with the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope

Adam F. Kowalski, Joel C. Allred, Mats Carlsson +5

Red-shifted components of chromospheric emission lines in the hard X-ray impulsive phase of solar flares have recently been studied through their 30 s evolution with the high resol…
