Interferometric observations of the Sun with ALMA provide valuable diagnostic tools for studying the small-scale dynamics of the solar atmosphere. Estimations of the observability of the small-scale dynamics as a function of spatial…
The strongest known correspondence between ALMA 3mm emission and other solar observations is between the H-alpha line width and 3 mm brightness temperature, while the typical 3-5min p-mode oscillations found in many chromospheric…
Millimeter/submillimeter variability is often attributed to dynamical disk-mediated accretion, yet detection is limited to low-mass protostars in nearby clouds. Recent observations have also revealed significant (sub)millimeter variability…
