We report detection of oscillations in brightness temperature, size, and horizontal velocity of three small bright features in the chromosphere of a plage/enhanced-network region. The observations, which were taken with high temporal…

We present integral field spectroscopy of a Lyman-alpha blob at redshift 2.38, with a spectral resolution three times better than previous published work. As with previous observations, the blob has a chaotic velocity structure, much of…

Plumes have been proposed to channel MHD waves and the solar wind into the heliosphere. High-speed propagating disturbances (PDs), though well detected in plumes, cannot yet be clearly assigned to MHD waves or to mass flows. Additionally,…
