We recently presented evidence of a strong correlation between the energy in the high-frequency part of the acoustic spectrum of the Sun and the solar X-ray flux Karoff & Kjeldsen (2008). The discovery indicates that flares drive global…
We present a study of multi-wavelength observations, of a C 2.3 solar flare in Active Region NOAA 12353, observed on 2015 May 23, which reveal new properties of acoustic waves in the flaring region. The space-, and ground-based data…
Solar flares are large explosions on the Sun's surface caused by a sudden release of magnetic energy. They are known to cause local short-lived oscillations travelling away from the explosion like water rings. Here we show that the energy…
Several attempts have been made to observe whether solar flares excite acoustic modes since Charles Wolff suggested this possibility almost fifty years ago. We look for the impact of flares on the amplitude of solar acoustic modes and other…
In solar-like oscillators, acoustic waves are excited by turbulent motion in the convective envelope and propagate inward, generating a variety of standing pressure modes. When combining together the power of several solar acoustic modes,…
In addition to well-known mechanisms of excitation of solar and stellar oscillations by turbulent convection and instabilities, the oscillations can be excited by an impulsive localized force caused by the energy release in solar and…
The excitation mechanism of low degree acoustic modes is investigated through the analysis of the stochastic time variations of their energy. The correlation between the energies of two different modes is interpreted as the signature of the…
Recently, Karoff and Kjeldsen (2008) presented evidence of strong correlation between the energy in the high-frequency part (5.3<\nu<8.3 mHz) of the acoustic spectrum of the Sun and the solar X-ray flux. They have used disk-integrated…
We first study the solar flare time sequence based on the GOES16 data. We find that the power spectrum density of the low-energy (E\leq E_{mean}) flare shows 1/f fluctuations, but the high-energy (E>E_{mean}) flare shows a flat spectrum.…
The processes governing energy storage and release in the Sun are both related to the solar magnetic field. We demonstrate the existence of a magnetic connection between energy released caused by a flare and increased oscillatory power in…
Two different mechanisms may act to induce quasi-periodic pulsations (QPP) in whole-disk observations of stellar flares. One mechanism may be magneto-hydromagnetic (MHD) forces and other processes acting on flare loops as seen in the Sun.…
Low-frequency longitudinal oscillations of a flaring coronal loop are studied numerically. In the recent work of Nakariakov et al., Astron. and Astrophys., 414, L25-L28 (2004) it has been shown that the time dependences of density and…
Sunquakes observed in the form of expanding wave ripples on the surface of the Sun during solar flares represent packets of acoustic waves excited by flare impacts and traveling through the solar interior. The excitation impacts strongly…
Sunquakes are helioseismic power enhancements initiated by solar flares, but not all flares generate sunquakes. It is curious why some flares cause sunquakes while others do not. Here we propose a hypothesis to explain the disproportionate…
The present study addresses the following questions: How representative of the actual velocities in the solar atmosphere are the Doppler shifts of spectral lines? How reliable is the velocity signal derived from narrowband filtergrams? How…
Solar p-mode oscillations are excited by the work of stochastic, non-adiabatic, pressure fluctuations on the compressive modes. We evaluate the expression for the radial mode excitation rate derived by Nordlund and Stein (Paper I) using…
The presence of flare related acoustic emission (sunquakes) in some flares represents a severe challenge to our current understanding of flare energy transport processes. We present a comparison of new spectral observations from Hinode's…
For decades it has been established that the amount of energy released by solar flares excites the acoustic oscillations propagating on the surface of the Sun (Wolff 1972). It is believed that these flares can excite velocity oscillations…
The energy in the solar acoustic spectrum is known to be correlated with flares, but it is not known if the same is true for stellar flares? In order to answer this question, we have analyzed 73 flares in 39 solar-like stars. These flares…
We present high-cadence observations and simulations of the solar photosphere, obtained using the Rapid Oscillations in the Solar Atmosphere imaging system and the MuRAM magneto-hydrodynamic code, respectively. Each dataset demonstrates a…
