The chemical composition of the solar corona is different from that of the solar photosphere, with the strongest variation being observed in active regions (ARs). Using data from the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on…

The chemical composition of solar and stellar atmospheres differs from that of their photospheres. Abundances of elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) are enhanced in the corona relative to high FIP elements with respect to the…

Elemental abundances in the solar corona and solar wind are often observed to differ from those in the solar photosphere, most commonly showing an enhancement of low first ionization-potential (FIP) elements (the FIP effect). The…

Elemental abundances in solar flares are observed to vary both spatially and temporally, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. There is an interplay between advection and the preferential acceleration of low first…

The abundances of low First Ionisation Potential (FIP) elements are three to four times higher (FIP bias) in the closed loop active corona than in the photosphere, known as the FIP effect. Observations suggest that the abundances vary in…

The First Ionization Potential (FIP) bias, whereby elemental abundances for low FIP elements in different coronal structures vary from their photospheric values and may also vary with time, has been widely studied. In order to study the…

Within the coronae of stars, abundances of those elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) often differ from their photospheric values. The coronae of the Sun and solar-type stars mostly show enhancements of low- FIP elements (the…

Plasma composition in the solar atmosphere differs between the photosphere and corona, producing an observable difference in elemental abundance known as the FIP effect. The FIP effect is characterised by the ratio of low to high FIP…

The plasma composition of the solar corona is different from that of the solar photosphere. Elements that have a low first ionisation potential (FIP) are preferentially transported to the corona and, therefore, show enhanced abundances in…
