The solar corona produces coronal rain, hundreds of times colder and denser material than the surroundings. Coronal rain is known to be deeply linked to coronal heating, but its origin, dynamics, and morphology are still not well…
Studying coronal rain formation through thermal non-equilibrium (TNE) and thermal instability (TI) provides insights into coronal heating mechanisms. We analysed a quiescent coronal rain event using space-based observations from the…
In this work, we analyse coordinated observations spanning chromospheric, TR and coronal temperatures at very high resolution which reveal essential characteristics of thermally unstable plasmas. Coronal rain is found to be a highly…
Recent observations have shown that besides the characteristic multi-million degree component the corona also contains a large amount of cool material called coronal rain, whose clumps are 10 - 100 times cooler and denser than the…
Fine-scale structure in the corona appears not to be well resolved by current imaging instruments. Assuming this to be true offers a simple geometric explanation for several current puzzles in coronal physics, including: the apparent…
A significant impediment to solving the coronal heating problem is that we currently only observe active region (AR) loops in their cooling phase. Previous studies showed that the evolution of cooling loop densities and apex temperatures…
We present here one of the first high resolution spectroscopic observations of coronal rain, performed with the CRISP instrument at the Swedish Solar Telescope. This work constitutes the first attempt to assess the importance of coronal…
We report on the discovery of periodic coronal rain in an off-limb sequence of {\it Solar Dynamics Observatory}/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly images. The showers are co-spatial and in phase with periodic (6.6~hr) intensity pulsations of…
Condensations in the more than 10^6 K hot corona of the Sun are commonly observed in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV). While their contribution to the total solar EUV radiation is still a matter of debate, these condensations certainly provide…
Coronal loops serve as the fundamental building blocks of the solar corona. Therefore, comprehending their properties is essential in unraveling the dynamics of the Sun's upper atmosphere. In this study, we conduct a comparative analysis of…
Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) waves are one of the large-scale phenomena on the Sun. They are defined as large propagating fronts in the low corona with speeds ranging from a few tens km/s to a multiple of 1000 km/s. They are often associated…
We investigate the morphology and temporal variability of a quiet Sun network region in different solar layers. The emission in several EUV spectral lines through both raster and slot time series, recorded by EIS/Hinode is studied along…
Coronal rain corresponds to cool and dense clumps in the corona accreting towards the solar surface, and is often observed above solar active regions. They are generally thought to be produced by thermal instability in the corona and their…
Solar corona, the last main layer of the atmosphere of the Sun, is detectable in the EUV and X-ray. The corona is expanding into space up to millions of kilometers and is observable during the eclipse. The temperature is increasing about…
Coronal rain is the well-known phenomenon in which hot plasma high in the Sun's corona undergoes rapid cooling (from > 10^6 K to < 10^4 K), condenses, and falls to the surface. Coronal rain appears frequently in active region coronal loops…
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) coronal dimmings are often observed in response to solar eruptive events. These phenomena can be generated via several different physical processes. For space weather, the most important of these is the temporary…
One of the many outcomes of the Solar Orbiter mission is the evidence for the solar atmosphere being filled by highly impulsive bursts, down to about 200 km scale: the limit of the EUV instruments' spatial resolution. Small-scale events of…
Context: On 2020 May 30, small and short-lived EUV brightenings were observed in the Quiet Sun (QS) during a four minutes sequence by EUI/HRIEUV on board Solar Orbiter. Their physical origin and possible impact on coronal or Transition…
Traditional models of coronal oscillations rely on modelling the coronal structures that support them as compact cylindrical waveguides. Recently, an alternative model of the structure of the corona has been proposed, where the thin…
Understanding the density structure of the solar corona is important for modeling both coronal heating and the solar wind. Direct measurements are difficult because of line-of-sight integration and possible unresolved structures. We present…
