It is well known that solar filaments are features in the solar atmosphere which show a hemispheric preference in their chirality. The hemispheric preference is such that the dextral chirality dominates in the northern hemisphere while the…
Ellerman bombs are transient brightenings in the wings of H-alpha 6563 {\AA} that pinpoint photospheric sites of magnetic reconnection in solar active regions. Their partial visibility in the 1600 {\AA} and 1700 {\AA} continua registered…
We present an automated system for detecting, tracking, and cataloging emerging active regions throughout their evolution and decay using SOHO Michelson Doppler Interferometer (MDI) magnetograms. The SolarMonitor Active Region Tracking…
A reliable extraction of filament data from microscopic images is of high interest in the analysis of acto-myosin structures as early morphological markers in mechanically guided differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells and the…
Evidence of excess filamentarity is considered for two spatial point process applications: local minima in whole earth precipitation modelling and locations of cold clumps in the Milky Way. A diagnostic test using the number of aligned…
In complex plasmas, the behavior of freely floating micrometer sized particles is studied. The particles can be directly visualized and recorded by digital video cameras. To analyze the dynamics of single particles, reliable algorithms are…
Various solar features can be seen on maps of the Sun in the mm and sub-mm wavelength range. The recently installed Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is capable of observing the Sun in that wavelength range with an…
This paper describes a new SMART/SDDI Filament Disappearance Catalogue, in which we listed almost all the filament disappearance events that the Solar Dynamics Doppler Imager (SDDI) has observed since its installation on the Solar Magnetic…
We use a well-known deep neural network framework, called Mask R-CNN, for identification of solar filaments in full-disk H-alpha images from Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO). The image data, collected from BBSO's archive, are integrated…
Magnetic Bright Points (MBPs) in the internetwork are among the smallest objects in the solar photosphere and appear bright against the ambient environment. An algorithm is presented that can be used for the automated detection of the MBPs…
We propose a novel approach that jointly removes reflection or translucent layer from a scene and estimates scene depth. The input data are captured via light field imaging. The problem is couched as minimizing the rank of the transmitted…
Large scale filaments, with lengths that can reach tens of Mpc, are the most prominent features in the cosmic web. These filaments have only been observed indirectly through the positions of galaxies in large galaxy surveys or through…
The volume of data being collected in solar physics has exponentially increased over the past decade and with the introduction of the $\textit{Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope}$ (DKIST) we will be entering the age of petabyte solar data.…
Received: 1st December 2018; Accepted: 18th February 2019; Published: 1st April 2019 Abstract: The calculated filling factors (FFs) for a feature reflect the fraction of the solar disc covered by that feature, and the assignment of…
With over 100 years of solar observations, the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory (KoSO) is a one-of-a-kind solar data repository in the world. Among its many data catalogues, the `suncharts' at KoSO are of particular interest. These Suncharts…
Large and magnetically complex sunspot groups are known to be associated with flares. To date, the Mount Wilson scheme has been used to classify sunspot groups based on their morphological and magnetic properties. The most flare prolific…
Observations of local features in the solar chromosphere began in 1992 at Huairou Solar Observing Station, while the full-disk chromosphere observations were carried out since 2000. In order to facilitate researchers to use full-disk…
We present a new algorithm to detect inter-cluster galaxy filaments based upon the assumption that the orientations of constituent galaxies along such filaments are non-isotropic. We apply the algorithm to the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey…
Context. Filamentary structures appear to be ubiquitous in the interstellar medium. Being able to detect and characterize them is the first step toward understanding their origin, their evolution, and their role in the Galactic cycle of…
In this work, we present SoFT: Solar Feature Tracking, a novel feature-tracking tool developed in Python and designed to detect, identify, and track magnetic elements in the solar atmosphere. It relies on a watershed segmentation algorithm…
