Coronal condensation and rain are a crucial part of the mass cycle between the corona and chromosphere. In some cases, condensation and subsequent rain originate in the magnetic dips formed during magnetic reconnection. This provides a new…
Context. Recent observations by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board Solar Orbiter have characterized prevalent small-scale transient brightenings in the corona above the quiet Sun termed campfires. Aims. In this study we search…
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…
Magnetic reconnection at small spatial scales is a fundamental driver of energy release and plasma dynamics in the lower solar atmosphere. We present observations of a brightening in an active region, captured in high-resolution data from…
The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board the Solar Orbiter (SO) spacecraft observed small extreme ultraviolet (EUV) bursts, termed campfires, that have been proposed to be brightenings near the apexes of low-lying loops in the…
The structure and dynamics of the outer solar atmosphere are reviewed with emphasis on the role played by the magnetic field. Contemporary observations that focus on high resolution imaging over a range of temperatures, as well as UV, EUV…
At the beginning of the 4 November 2015 flare, in the 1300 -- 2000 MHz frequency range, we observed a very rare slowly positively drifting burst. We searched for associated phenomena in simultaneous EUV observations made by IRIS, SDO/AIA,…
We estimate the frequency of intermittent hypermutation events and disruptions of planetary/satellite photochemistry due to ultraviolet radiation from core collapse supernova explosions. Calculations are presented for planetary systems in…
On 17 January 2010, STEREO-B observed in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and white light a large-scale dome-shaped expanding coronal transient with perfectly connected off-limb and on-disk signatures. Veronig et al. (2010, ApJL 716, 57) concluded…
We analyse an absorption event within the H$\alpha$ line wings, identified as a surge, and the co-spatial evolution of an EUV brightening, with spatial and temporal scales analogous to a small blinker. We conduct a multi-wavelength,…
Solar flares are dramatic events in which magnetic reconnection in the corona leads to heating of plasma to tens of MK and acceleration of particles to high energies. They also centrally involve transport between the corona (where the…
Solar flares are one of the most energetic events in the solar atmosphere. It is widely accepted that flares are powered by magnetic reconnection in the corona. An eruptive flare is usually accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, both of…
Ellerman bombs are transient brightenings of the wings of the solar Balmer lines that mark reconnection in the photosphere. Ellerman noted in 1917 that he did not observe such brightenings in the Na I D and Mg I b lines. This non-visibility…
Explosive events are small transition region phenomena characterised by broad non-Gaussian wings in their line profiles. Images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) give a first view of the plasma dynamics at the sites of explosive…
We present observations of a small-scale Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave that was associated with a mini-filament eruption and a GOES B1.9 micro-fare in the quiet Sun region. The initiation of the event was due to the photospheric magnetic…
There are relatively few observations of UV emission during the impulsive phases of solar flares, so the nature of that emission is poorly known. Photons produced by solar flares can resonantly scatter off atoms and ions in the corona.…
Radio U-bursts and J-bursts are signatures of electron beams propagating along magnetic loops confined to the corona. The more commonly observed type III radio bursts are signatures of electron beams propagating along magnetic loops that…
The solar atmosphere is filled with clusters of hot small-scale loops commonly known as Coronal Bright Points (CBPs). These ubiquitous structures stand out in the Sun by their strong X-ray and/or extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) emission for hours…
Coronal Jets are transitory small-scale eruptions omnipresent in solar observations. Active regions jets produce significant perturbations on the ambient solar atmosphere and are believed to be generated by microflare reconnection. Multiple…
Coronal plumes are narrow, collimated structures that are primarily viewed above the solar poles and in coronal holes in the extreme ultraviolet, but also in sunspots. Open questions remain about plume formation, including the role of…
