Metre wavelength type II solar radio bursts are believed to be the signatures of shock-accelerated electrons in the corona. Studying these bursts can give information about the initial kinematics, dynamics and energetics of CMEs in the…

Waves are thought to play a significant role in the heating of the solar atmosphere and the acceleration of the wind. Among the many types of waves observed in the Sun, the so-called p-modes with a 3 mHz frequency peak dominate the lower…

We characterize, for the first time, type-II spicules in Ca II K 3934\AA\ using the CHROMIS instrument at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope. We find that their line formation is dominated by opacity shifts with the K$_{3}$ minimum best…

We study the properties of waves in a facular region of moderate strength in the photosphere and chromosphere. Our aim is to analyse statistically the wave periods, power and phase relations as a function of the magnetic field strength and…

Solar flare ribbons are features in the lower atmosphere that show enhanced emission intensity, particularly noticeable in H$\alpha$ and EUV images of the transition region and upper chromosphere. In this study, we provide observational…

This study aims to provide further evidence for the potential influence of the global solar magnetic field on localised chromospheric jets, the macrospicules (MS). To find a connection between the long-term variation of properties of MS and…

Fibrils in the solar chromosphere carry transverse oscillations as determined from non-spectroscopic imaging data. They are estimated to carry an energy flux of several $\mathrm{kW~m}^{-2}$, which is a significant fraction of the average…

Decayless kink oscillations are omnipresent in the solar atmosphere and a viable candidate for coronal heating. Though there have been extensive studies of decayless oscillations in coronal loops with a few hundred Mm lengths, the…

We present full Stokes observations from SPINOR in the \ion{Ca}{2} infrared triplet and the \ion{He}{1} multiplet at 1083 nm from which some properties of spicules have been derived. There are important advantages in multi-line…

Coronal holes are areas on the Sun with open magnetic field lines. They are a source region of the solar wind, but how the wind emerges from coronal holes is not known. We observed a coronal hole using the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager on the…

Broad-band images in the Ca II H line, from the BFI instrument on the Hinode spacecraft, show emission from spicules emerging from and visible right down to the observed limb. Surprisingly, little absorption of spicule light is seen along…

Low-frequency turbulence in the solar chromosphere remains poorly understood. We address 1) the sources of low-frequency turbulence that potentially heat the chromosphere, and 2) how turbulence is transported and dissipated throughout the…

The average Doppler shift shown by spectral lines formed from the chromosphere to the corona reveals important information on the mass and energy balance of the solar atmosphere, providing an important observational constraint to any models…

Studies on small-scale jets' formation, propagation, evolution, and role, such as type I and II spicules, mottles, and fibrils in the lower solar atmosphere's energetic balance, have progressed tremendously thanks to the combination of…

This study examines the shock speed and source height of coronal shock waves using Type II solar radio bursts. The solar radio burst data from January 2022 to October 2023 were obtained from eCALLISTO archive. The type II radio bursts were…
