Solar prominences are subject to all kinds of perturbations during their lifetime, and frequently demonstrate oscillations. The study of prominence oscillations provides an alternative way to investigate their internal magnetic and thermal…
Context. Fine-scale structures of the solar chromosphere, particularly fibrils, are known to host various types of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves that can transport energy to the corona. In particular, absorption features observed in the…
The behaviour of the toroidal and meridional components of the solar large-scale magnetic field and linear Alfven and Rossby waves during solar activity cycles and bi-annual time periods are theoretically investigated in this work. We…
Recent data on superflares on sun-like stars and radiocarbon data on solar activity in the past are both indicative of transient epochs of unusually high magnetic activity. We propose an explanation for the grand activity maxima in the…
The aim of the present paper is to use quasi-periodic oscillations in hard X-rays (HXRs) of solar flares as a diagnostic tool for investigation of impulsive electron acceleration. We have selected a number of flares which showed…
There is evidence that coronal heating is highly intermittent, and flares are the high energy extreme. The properties of the heat pulses are difficult to constrain. Here hydrodynamic loop modeling shows that several large amplitude…
Radio signals propagating via the solar corona and solar wind are significantly affected by compressive waves, impacting properties of solar bursts as well as sources viewed through the turbulent solar atmosphere. While static fluctuations…
We report a decaying kink oscillation of a flux rope during a confined eruptive flare, observed off the solar limb by SDO/AIA, that lacked a detectable white-light coronal mass ejection. The erupting flux rope underwent kinking, rotation,…
We propose and discuss an alternative pulsar radio emission mechanism that relies on rotation-driven plasma oscillations, rather than on a beam-driven instability, and suggest that it may be the generic radio emission mechanism for pulsars.…
Filaments are one of the most common features in the solar atmosphere, and are of significance in solar, stellar and laboratory plasma physics. Using data from the Chinese H$\alpha$ Solar Explorer, the Solar Upper Transition Region Imager…
For solar activity cycles 20 and 21 (1966-1985) the solar differential rotation has been investigated using H{\alpha} filaments and relatively small-scale long-lived magnetic features with negative and positive polarities. We used annual…
We consider a first important parameter of spicules as observed above the solar visible limb: their apparent diameter as a function of the height above the limb which determines their aspect ratio and leads to the discussion of their…
Both observations and simulations suggest that the solar filament eruption is closely related to magnetic flux emergence. It is thought that the eruption is triggered by magnetic reconnection between the filament and the emerging flux.…
Oscillatory reconnection is a time-dependent magnetic reconnection mechanism that naturally produces periodic outputs from aperiodic drivers. This paper aims to quantify and measure the periodic nature of oscillatory reconnection for the…
We present the results from an Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder search for radio variables on timescales of hours. We conducted an untargeted search over a 30 deg$^2$ field, with multiple 10-hour observations separated by days…
This letter describes a new phenomenon on the Parker Solar Probe of recurring plasma density enhancements that have $\Delta$n/n ~10% and that occur at a repetition rate of ~5 Hz. They were observed sporadically for about five hours between…
We present simultaneous X-ray and spectral ultraviolet (UV) observations of strikingly-coherent oscillations in emission from a coronal looptop and fan structure, during the impulsive phase of a long-duration M-class solar flare. The 50 s…
A model is presented that explains the `torsional oscillation' pattern of deviations in the solar rotation rate as a geostrophic flow. The flow is driven by temperature variations near the surface due to the enhanced emission of radiation…
We improve our filament automated detection method which was proposed in our previous works. It is then applied to process the full disk H$\alpha$ data mainly obtained by Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) from 1988 to 2013, spanning nearly…
We present imaging and spectroscopic diagnostics of a long filament during its formation with the observations from the Chinese H$\alpha$ Solar Explorer and Solar Dynamics Observatory. The seed filament first appeared at about 05:00 UT on…
