A major flare (of class X3.4) occurred on 13 December 2006 in the active region NOAA 10930. The energy released during flares is also known to induce acoustic oscillations in the Sun. Here, we analyze the line-of-sight velocity patterns in…
We report observations of homologous coronal jets and their coronal mass ejections (CMEs) observed by instruments onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft. The homologous jets…
We analyze multi-wavelength data of a M7.9/1N class solar flare which occurred on 27 April, 2006 from AR NOAA 10875. GOES soft X-ray images provide the most likely signature of two interacting loops and their reconnection, which triggers…
Triggering process for prominence instability and consequent CMEs is not fully understood. Prominences are maintained by the Lorentz force against the gravity, therefore reduction of the prominence mass due to the coronal rain may cause the…
Coronal waves, significant solar phenomena, act as diagnostic tools for scientists studying solar atmosphere properties. Here, we present a novel observation detailing how a coronal wave event, associated with an X5.0 class flare,…
Using the observations from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), we investigate six X-class and twenty-nine M-class flares occurring in solar active…
Analysis of SOHO/LASCO C3 data reveals a discontinuity, interpreted as a shock wave, in plasma density radial profiles in a restricted region ahead of each of ten selected coronal mass ejections (CME) along their travel directions. In…
AD Leo is a young and active M dwarf with high flaring rates across the X-ray to radio bands. Flares accelerate particles in the outer coronal layers and often impact exospace weather. Wide-band radio dynamic spectra let us explore the…
We present the multi-wavelength observations of a flux rope that was trying to erupt from NOAA AR 11045 and the associated M-class solar flare on 12 February 2010 using space and ground based observations from TRACE, STEREO, SOHO/MDI,…
A fast and wide Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) erupted from the Sun on 2012-03-13. Its interplanetary counterpart was detected in situ two days later by STEREO-A and near-Earth spacecraft. We suggest that at 1 au the CME extended at least…
We demonstrate that major asymmetries in erupting filaments and CMEs, namely major twists and non-radial motions are typically related to the larger-scale ambient environment around eruptive events. Our analysis of prominence eruptions…
We use data from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to study the most likely formation of a forced reconnection region and associated plasma blobs, triggered by jet-like structures in a…
Fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can drive shock waves capable of accelerating electrons to high energies. These shock-accelerated electrons act as sources of electromagnetic radiation, often in the form of solar radio bursts. Recent…
The pre-CME structure is of great importance to understanding the origin of CMEs, which, however, has been largely unknown for CMEs originating from active regions. In this paper, selected for studying are 16 active-region coronal arcades…
A small-scale flare SOL2012-09-21T02:19 (B2) occurred in a spotless active region that we observed at a ground-based telescope equipped with a spectrograph. During the flare, we registered an increase in absorption in the He I 10830 \AA\…
It is now generally accepted that the impulsive acceleration of a coronal mass ejection (CME) in the inner corona is closely correlated in time with the main energy release of the associated solar flare. In this paper, we examine in detail…
We investigate the relationship between the main acceleration phase of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and the particle acceleration in the associated flares as evidenced in RHESSI non-thermal X-rays for a set of 37 impulsive flare-CME…
We present both coronal and chromospheric observations of large-scale disturbances associated with a major solar eruption on 2005 September 7. In GOES/SXI, arclike coronal brightenings are recorded propagating in the southern hemisphere.…
Quasi-periodic fast-propagating (QFP) wave trains are a distinctive form of magnetohydrodynamic disturbance frequently observed in the solar corona. Yet their excitation mechanism and propagation characteristics are not well understood. In…
We examine the dynamical behavior of white light polar plume structures in the inner corona that are observed from the ground during total solar eclipses, based on their EUV hot and cool emission line counterparts observed from space. EUV…
