We aim to investigate the temperature enhancements and formation heights of impulsive heating phenomena in solar active-regions such as Ellerman bombs (EBs), ultraviolet bursts (UVBs), and flaring active-region fibrils (FAFs) using…
We analyze optical spectra of a two-ribbon, long duration C1.1 flare that occurred on 18 Aug 2011 within AR 11271 (SOL2011-08-18T15:15). The impulsive phase of the flare was observed with a comprehensive set of space-borne and ground-based…
We present a reanalysis of the HeII Lyman alpha absorption towards the quasars HS1700+6416 and HE2347-4342 using new high S/N, optical observations. An alternative analysis method is applied, which fits the high quality, optical HI data…
Kjeldsen et al. (1995, AJ 109, 1313; astro-ph/9411016) have developed a new technique for measuring stellar oscillations and claimed a detection in the G subgiant eta Boo. The technique involves monitoring temperature fluctuations in a star…
We present a comprehensive set of spectral data from two quiescent solar prominences observed in parallel from space and ground: with the VTT, simultaneous two-dimensional imaging of H-beta 4862 and Ca II 8542 yields a constant ratio,…
The continuum spectrum of the planetary nebula Hf 2-2 close to the Balmer discontinuity is modeled in the context of the long standing problem of the abundance and temperature discrepancy found when analyzing optical recombination lines and…
In this work, we characterize the properties of HB stars in the GCs $\omega$ Cen and NGC 6752. We use dedicated model atmospheres and synthetic spectra grids computed using a hybrid LTE/NLTE modeling approach to fit the MUSE spectra of HB…
We analyze the clustering properties of a high-resolution (~10 km/s) sample of about 1600 Lyman-alpha lines in the spectra of 15 quasars, obtained in the framework of an ESO key-programme with the addition of literature data. The two-point…
Brown dwarfs at the L-T transition likely experience an inhomogeneous clearing of the clouds in their atmospheres. The resulting surface of thin and thick cloudy patches has been put forward to explain the observed variability, J-band…
A multi-cloud model is presented which explains the soft X-ray excess in NGC 4051 and, consistently, the optical line spectrum and the SED of the continuum. The clouds are heated and ionized by the photoionizing flux from the active center…
We use a spherical non-LTE fully line blanketed model atmosphere to fit the full multi-wavelength spectrum, including the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) continuum observed by the {\it Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer}, of the B2 II star \epscma. The…
The precise mechanisms that provide the non-radiative energy for heating the chromosphere and the corona of the Sun and other stars are at the focus of intense contemporary research. Observations at submm/mm wavelengths are particularly…
We show fifty-seven enhanced radiation level events taken from new measurements on commercial altitude (greater than 9 km) aircraft that are analogous to planes flying through radiation clouds. More accurately, the plane is likely to be…
Aims. We aim to explain line formation of He I D3 and He I 10830 {\AA} in small-scale reconnection events. Methods. We make use of a simulated Ellerman bomb (EB), present in a Bifrost-generated radiative Magnetohydrodynamics (rMHD)…
We present Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations in the CO J=3-2, SiO J=5-4 and 8-7, and SO 9_8-8_7 lines, as well as Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) observations in the CO J=6-5 line, of an extremely high-velocity and jet-like…
Plasma with a temperature close to the chromospheric one is ejected in solar eruptions. Such plasma can occult some part of emission of compact sources in active regions as well as quiet solar areas. Absorption phenomena can be observed in…
We present a new analysis of a 9-day long XMM-Newton monitoring of the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 766. We show that the strong changes in spectral shape which occurred during this observation can be interpreted as due to Broad Line…
The presence of clouds between an airshower and a space-based detector can dramatically alter the measured signal characteristics due to absorption and scattering of the photonic signals. Furthermore, knowledge of the cloud cover in the…
We present the results from a detailed deprojection analysis of Abell 1835 as observed by {\it XMM-Newton}. If we fit the spectra with an isothermal plasma model, the deprojected temperature profile is flat in the outer region around 7.6…
Observations of recurrent explosive events (EEs) with time scale of 3-5 minutes are reported. These EEs have been observed with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and have a spatial dimension of $\sim1.5"$ along the slit. The…
