As the Lyman-alpha (Lya) line of neutral hydrogen is the brightest emission line in the solar spectrum, detecting increases in irradiance due to solar flares at this wavelength can be challenging due to the very high background. Previous…
The Lyman-alpha (Ly{\alpha};1216 {\AA}) line is the brightest emission line in the quiescent solar spectrum and radiates a significant fraction of the available nonthermal energy during flares. Despite its importance, there is a lack of…
The chromospheric Lyman-alpha line of neutral hydrogen (Ly$\alpha$; 1216 \r{A}) is the most intense emission line in the solar spectrum, yet until recently observations of flare-related Ly$\alpha$ emission have been scarce. Here, we examine…
Despite the energetic significance of Lyman-alpha (Ly{\alpha}; 1216\AA) emission from solar flares, regular observations of flare related Ly{\alpha} have been relatively scarce until recently. Advances in instrumental capabilities and a…
We statistically study the relationship between the Lyman-alpha (\lya) and 1--8 \AA\ soft X-ray (SXR) emissions from 658 M- and X-class solar flares observed by the {\em Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite} during 2006--2016.…
Despite being the most prominent emission line in the solar spectrum, there has been a notable lack of studies devoted to variations in Ly$\alpha$ emission during solar flares in recent years. However, the few examples that do exist have…
There are very few reports of flare signatures in the solar irradiance at H i Lyman {\alpha} at 121.5 nm, i.e. the strongest line of the solar spectrum. The LYRA radiometer onboard PROBA2 has observed several flares for which unambiguous…
The hydrogen \lya\ line and the white-light (WL) continuum are two key diagnostics of energy transport in the lower atmosphere during solar flares, yet their relationship remains poorly understood. Here we present a statistical analysis of…
The hydrogen Lyman-$\alpha$ (H {\sc i} Ly$\alpha$) emission during solar flares has rarely been studied in spatially resolved images and its physical origin has not been fully understood. In this paper, we present novel Ly$\alpha$ images…
We present the first detection of solar flare emission at middle-ultraviolet wavelengths around 2000 A by the channel 2 of the Large-Yield RAdiometer (LYRA) onboard the PROBA2 mission. The flare (SOL20170906) was also observed in the…
The solar Ly$\alpha$ line is the strongest line in the ultraviolet waveband, and is greatly enhanced during solar flares. Here we present radiative hydrodynamic simulations of solar flares under different heating models, and calculate the…
In this Letter we report the detection of chromospheric 3-minute oscillations in disk-integrated EUV irradiance observations during a solar flare. A wavelet analysis of detrended Lyman-alpha (from GOES/EUVS) and Lyman continuum (from…
Studies in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray ranges of the solar spectrum are important due to the active role of radiation of these ranges in the formation of the Earth's ionosphere. Photons of the EUV range are completely absorbed…
The hydrogen Lyman lines ( 91.2 nm < lambda < 121.6 nm) are significant contributors to the radiative losses of the solar chromosphere, and are enhanced during flares. We have shown previously that the Lyman lines observed by the Extreme…
The Extreme ultraviolet Variability Experiment was designed to observe the Sun-as-a-star in the extreme ultraviolet; a wavelength range that has remained spectrally unresolved for many years. It has provided a wealth of data on solar…
We report multi-wavelength observations of four solar flares on 2014 July 07. We firstly select these flares according to the soft X-ray (SXR) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions recorded by the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability…
The flare activity and the ultraviolet emission of the sun during its 24-th cycle are analysed. As compared to cycles 21-23, where the most powerful flares were observed during the decay phase, in cycle 24 the greatest number of powerful…
The Large Yield Radiometer (LYRA) is a radiometer that has monitored the solar irradiance at high cadence and in four pass bands since January 2010. Both the instrument and its space- craft, PROBA2 (Project for On-Board Autonomy), have…
Solar flare activity in cycle 24 is studied. Satellite observations of x-ray fluxes from GOES-15 and UV emission lines from the SDO/EVE experiment are used. The most powerful flares of cycle 24 in classes X9.3 and X8.2 in September 2017 are…
The H I Lyman-alpha (Ly$\alpha$) emission, with a wavelength of 1216 \r{A}, is the brightest solar ultraviolet (UV) line. However, comprehensive observations of the Ly$\alpha$ emission line across the full solar disk remain limited. As part…
