A M-class behind-the-limb solar flare on 1 May 2013 (SOL2013-05-01T02:32), accompanied by a ($\sim$ 400 km/s) CME was observed by several space-based observatories with different viewing angles. We investigated the RHESSI-observed occulted…

X-ray observations of the Sun led Eugene Parker to propose nanoflares as the basic energy-release units that heat the solar corona. Decades later, Solar Orbiter's Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (HRIEUV), operating halfway between Earth and the…

A recent analysis has suggested that the heating of plasma loops in the solar corona depends not just on the Poynting flux but also on processes yet to be identified. This discovery reflects and refines earlier questions such as, why and…
