Observations from the two STEREO-spacecraft give us for the first time the possibility to use stereoscopic methods to reconstruct the 3D solar corona. Classical stereoscopy works best for solid objects with clear edges. Consequently an…

Coronal waves are large-scale disturbances often driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs). We investigate a spectacular wave event on 7 March 2012, which is associated with an X5.4 flare (SOL2012-03-07). By using a running center-median…
We employ a sequence of Doppler images obtained with the Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP) instrument to perform time-distance seismology of the solar corona. We construct the first k-omega diagrams of the region. These allow us to…
