Models and observations have demonstrated that Twisted Flux Ropes (TFRs) play a significant role in the structure and eruptive dynamics of active regions. Their role in the dynamics of the quiet Sun atmosphere on has remained elusive, their…

We detect rapid downflows of 150-217 km/s in IRIS Si IV 1402.77 nm measurements of an X9-class solar flare on 2024 October 3rd. The fast redshift values persist for over 15 minutes from flare onset, and can be split into two distinct stages…

We compare the magnetic helicity in the 17-18 March 2013 interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) flux-rope at 1 AU and in its solar counterpart. The progenitor coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted on 15 March 2013 from NOAA active region…

Extreme-ultraviolet images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory often show looplike fine structure to be present where no minority-polarity flux is visible in magnetograms, suggesting that the rate of ephemeral region (ER) emergence inside…

Many observations show that coronal holes (CHs) deviate coronal mass ejections (CMEs) away from them. However, there are some peculiar events reported where the opposite occurs. To contribute to a space weather forecast efforts, in relation…

We investigate the formation times of eruptive magnetic flux ropes relative to the onset of solar eruptions, which is important for constraining models of coronal mass ejection (CME) initiation. We inspected uninterrupted sequences of 131…

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from pseudostreamers represent a significant fraction of large-scale eruptions from the Sun. In some cases, these CMEs take a narrow jet-like form reminiscent of coronal jets; in others, they have a much…

We present an observational study of a quasi-periodic fast propagating (QFP) magnetosonic wave on 2012, April 23. The multiple wave trains were observed along an active region open loop system which has a divergence geometry. The wave…

A key aim in space weather research is to be able to use remote-sensing observations of the solar atmosphere to extend the lead time of predicting the geoeffectiveness of a coronal mass ejection (CME). In order to achieve this, the magnetic…

We investigated a set of 54 interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) events whose solar sources are very close to the disk center (within 15 degrees from the central meridian). The ICMEs consisted of 23 magnetic cloud (MC) events and 31…

Solar microflares are ubiquitous in the solar corona, yet their driving mechanisms remain a subject of ongoing debate. Using high-resolution coronal observations from the Solar Orbiter's Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI), we identified about…

Directly tracking an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) by widely separated spacecrafts is a great challenge. However, such an event could provide us a good opportunity to study the evolution of embedded Alfv\'enic fluctuations…

Forecasting the geomagnetic effects of solar storms, known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), is currently severely limited by our inability to predict the magnetic field configuration in the CME magnetic core and by observational effects of…

Solar magnetic fields are closely related to various physical phenomena on the sun, which can be extrapolated with different models from photospheric magnetograms. However, the Open Flux Problem (OFP), the underestimation of the magnetic…

Flux ropes are generally believed to be core structures of solar eruptions that are significant for the space weather, but their formation mechanism remains intensely debated. We report on the formation of a tiny flux rope beneath clusters…

Recent high-resolution solar observations have unveiled the presence of small-scale loop-like structures in the lower solar atmosphere, often referred to as unresolved fine structures, low-lying loops, and miniature hot loops. These…
