The goal of this paper is to study the smallest brightening events observed in the EUV quiet Sun. We use commissioning data taken by the EUI instrument onboard the recently launched Solar Orbiter mission. On 2020 May 30, EUI was situated at…

The observations of post eruption arcades (PEAs) in X-rays and EUV reveal strong localised brightenings at the loop top regions. The origin of these brightenings and their dynamics is not well understood to date. Here, we study the dynamics…

We analyze the expansion signatures of 35 HII regions mapped in [CII] 158 micron emission by the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The [CII] emission primarily traces photodissociation regions (PDRs) at the…

Low-amplitude Doppler-shift oscillations have been observed in coronal emission lines in a number of active regions with the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on the Hinode satellite. Both standing and propagating waves have been detected and…
