Solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft since its launch in 2018. These events include sources from solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Onboard PSP is the IS\(\odot\)IS…

The aim of the present report is to outline the observational methods used to determine the solar origin - in terms of flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) - of the in situ observed solar energetic protons. Several widely used…

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are a major driver of space weather. To assess CME geoeffectiveness, among other scientific goals, it is necessary to reliably identify and characterize their morphology and kinematics in coronagraph images.…

Thermography allows for the remote measurement of surface temperatures and is widely used for the identification of energy losses, damage detection or quality control. However, thermal imaging is strongly material dependent and therefore…

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large eruptions from the Sun that propagate through the heliosphere after launch. Observational studies of these transient phenomena are usually based on 2D images of the Sun, corona, and heliosphere…

We present the first remote sensing observations of the impact from a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on the thermodynamic properties of the solar corona between 1 and 3 Rs. Measurements of the Fe XI (789.2 nm) and Fe XIV (530.3 nm) emission…

Solar coronal dimmings have been observed extensively in the past two decades and are believed to have close association with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Recent study found that coronal dimming is the only signature that could…

In this paper, we demonstrate that CME-driven shocks can be detected in white light coronagraph images and in which properties such as the density compression ratio and shock direction can be measured. Also, their propagation direction can…

Context. Studying the kinematic and dynamic evolution of fast eruptive events from the middle to high solar corona is a primary objective of the Metis coronagraph on Solar Orbiter. During perihelion, Metis acquires visible light images at a…

Coronal dimming of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emission has the potential to be a useful forecaster of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). As emitting material leaves the corona, a temporary void is left behind which can be observed in spectral…

Coronal dimmings associated with coronal mass ejections (CME) from the Sun have gained much attention since the late 1990s when they were first observed in high-cadence imagery of the SOHO/EIT and Yohkoh/SXT instruments. They appear as…

Coronal holes are large-scale structures in the solar atmosphere that feature a reduced temperature and density in comparison to the surrounding quiet Sun and are usually associated with open magnetic fields. We perform a differential…
