Context: On 2020 May 30, small and short-lived EUV brightenings were observed in the Quiet Sun (QS) during a four minutes sequence by EUI/HRIEUV on board Solar Orbiter. Their physical origin and possible impact on coronal or Transition…

We present the evolution of a coronal cavity encompassing its quiescent and eruptive phases in the lower corona. Using the multi-vantage point observations from the SDO/AIA, STEREO SECCHI/EUVI and PROBA2/SWAP EUV imagers, we capture the…

We observe a coronal jet around 22:08 UT on 23 rd March of 2017, in a quiet region towards the north-east of the solar disk. A minifilament eruption leads to this jet. We analyze dynamics of the minifilament from its formation until its…

MHD kink instability can trigger the fragmentation of a twisted magnetic flux tube into small-scale current sheets that dissipate as aperiodic impulsive heating events. This instability propagates as an avalanche to nearby flux tubes and…

Coronal holes (CHs) are magnetically open regions that allow hot coronal plasma to escape from the Sun and form the high-speed solar wind. This wind can interact with Earth's magnetic field. For this reason, developing an accurate…

Previous solar observations have shown that coronal loops near 1 MK are difficult to reconcile with simple heating models. These loops have lifetimes that are long relative to a radiative cooling time, suggesting quasi-steady heating. The…

Small-scale ephemeral coronal holes may be a recurring feature on the solar disk, but have received comparatively little attention. These events are characterized by compact structure and short total lifetimes, substantially less than a…

In this paper, we simulate the magnetic flux evolution at different heliocentric distances during two solar-maximum Carrington rotations (CRs) using the time-evolving coronal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model COCONUT to investigate the ``open…

Radio-bright regions near the solar poles are frequently observed in Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH) maps at 17 GHz, and often in association with coronal holes. However, the origin of these polar brightening has not been established yet.…

New Swift monitoring observations of the variable, radio-quiet quasar, PDS 456, are presented. A bright X-ray flare was captured in September 2018, the flux increasing by a factor of 4 and with a doubling time-scale of 2 days. From the…

A plethora of coronal models, from empirical to more complex magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ones, are being used for reconstructing the coronal magnetic field topology and estimating the open magnetic flux. However, no individual solution fully…

We study the structure and evolution of the magnetic field of the quiet Sun by investigating weak spectro-polarimetric signals. To this end, we observed a quiet region close to the disk center with the German VTT in Tenerife, July 07, 2006.…
