In the recent papers, we introduced a method utilised to measure the flow field. The method is based on the tracking of supergranular structures. We did not precisely know, whether its results represent the flow field in the photosphere or…

We describe the characteristics and evolution of the magnetic field and chromospheric emission in an active region core observed by the Solar Optical Telescope on Hinode. Consistent with previous studies, we find that the moss is unipolar,…

Hinode observations have provided a new view of outflows from the Sun. These have been focussed in particular on flows emanating from the edges of active regions. These flows are long lasting and seem to exist to some extent in every active…

It is shown that a generalized magneto-Bernoulli mechanism can effectively generate high velocity flows in the Solar chromosphere by transforming the plasma pressure energy into kinetic energy. It is found that at reasonable heights and for…

The solar cycle is a complex phenomenon, a comprehensive understanding of which requires the study of various tracers. Here, we consider the solar cycle as manifested in the harmonics of the solar large-scale surface magnetic field,…

It is shown that the connection of sufficiently fast flows with dynamical channels for particle escape in the Solar Corona is rather direct: it depends on their ability to deform (in specific cases to distort) the ambient magnetic field…

There is evidence for coronal plasma flows to break down into fragments and to be laminar. We investigate this effect by modeling flows confined along magnetic channels. We consider a full MHD model of a solar atmosphere box with a dipole…
