Since their discovery twenty year ago, transition region bright points (TRBPs) have never been observed spectroscopically. Bright point properties have not been compared with similar transition region and coronal structures. In this work we…

Observing the Sun at high time and spatial scales is a step towards understanding the finest and fundamental scales of heating events in the solar corona. The Hi-C instrument has provided the highest spatial and temporal resolution images…

The paper addresses the shortcoming of current event-based vision (EBV) sensors in the context of particle imaging. Latency is introduced both on the pixel level as well as during read-out from the array and results in systemic timing…
