Hinode EIS Observations of Plasma Composition Evolution and Radiative Cooling of Solar Flare Loops
Teodora Mihailescu, Peter R. Young, David H. Brooks +4
Plasma composition in flaring regions has been shown to have significant spatial and temporal variations, likely driven by dynamical processes that take place as a consequence of t…
The Link Between Non-Thermal Velocity and Free Magnetic Energy in Solar Flares
James McKevitt, Robert Jarolim, Sarah Matthews +5
The cause of excess spectral line broadening (non-thermal velocity) is not definitively known, but given its rise before and during flaring, the causal processes hold clues to unde…
Intriguing Plasma Composition Pattern in a Solar Active Region: a Result of Non-Resonant Alfvén Waves?
Teodora Mihailescu, David H. Brooks, J. Martin Laming +6
The plasma composition of the solar corona is different from that of the solar photosphere. Elements that have a low first ionisation potential (FIP) are preferentially transported…
A new trigger mechanism for coronal mass ejections: the role of confined flares and photospheric motions in the formation of hot flux ropes
Alexander W James, Lucie M Green, Lidia van Driel-Gesztelyi +1
Context: Many previous studies have shown that the magnetic precursor of a coronal mass ejection (CME) takes the form of a magnetic flux rope, and a subset of them have become know…
Non-thermal distributions and energy transport in the solar flares
Sarah Matthews, Guilio del Zanna, Ariadna Calcines +9
Determining the energy transport mechanisms in flares remains a central goal in solar flares physics that is still not adequately answered by the 'standard flare model'. In particu…
First observational application of a connectivity--based helicity flux density
K. Dalmasse, E. Pariat, G. Valori +2
Measuring the magnetic helicity distribution in the solar corona can help in understanding the trigger of solar eruptive events because magnetic helicity is believed to play a key…
On Signatures of Twisted Magnetic Flux Tube Emergence
Santiago Vargas Dominguez, David MacTaggart, Lucie Green +2
Recent studies of NOAA active region 10953, by Okamoto {\it et al.} ({\it Astrophys. J. Lett.} {\bf 673}, 215, 2008; {\it Astrophys. J.} {\bf 697}, 913, 2009), have interpreted pho…
