Cool, dense material is frequently observed to permeate the hot, tenuous solar corona in the form of prominences, spicules and coronal rain. Both the cool material and surrounding corona exist at temperatures that are effectively thermally…

Elemental abundances provide a powerful diagnostic of the physical mechanisms and processes that heat the solar atmosphere and drive the solar wind. The First Ionisation Potential (FIP) effect and its inverse (IFIP) are observed both on the…
Most solar flares demonstrate a prolonged, hourlong post-flare (or gradual) phase, characterized by arcade-like, post-flare loops (PFLs) visible in many extreme ultraviolet (EUV) passbands. These coronal loops are filled with hot -- $\sim…
Coronal plumes are bright, narrow structures rooted in coronal holes that contribute to the solar wind. Their composition, particularly elemental fractionation as a function of first ionization potential (FIP), provides diagnostics of…
It remains unclear which physical processes are responsible for the dramatic increase with height of the temperature in stellar atmospheres, known as the chromospheric ($\sim$10,000 K) and coronal (several million K) heating problems.…
Coronal elemental abundances are known to deviate from the photospheric values of their parent star, with the degree of deviation depending on the First Ionization Potential (FIP). This study focuses on the coronal composition of stars with…
Rapidly decaying slow magnetoacoustic waves are regularly observed in the solar coronal structures, offering a promising tool for a seismological diagnostics of the coronal plasma, including its thermodynamical properties. The effect of…
Plasma composition in flaring regions has been shown to have significant spatial and temporal variations, likely driven by dynamical processes that take place as a consequence of the sudden energy release at the reconnection site. The…
The First Ionization Potential (FIP) effect is the by now well known enhancement in abundance over photospheric values of Fe and other elements with first ionization potential below about 10 eV observed in the solar corona and slow speed…
The relative abundances of chemical elements and isotopes have been our most effective tool in identifying and understanding energetic particles. The early surprise in solar energetic particles (SEPs) was 1000-fold enhancements in 3He/4He…
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…
Sun-as-a-star coronal plasma composition, derived from full-Sun spectra, and the F10.7 radio flux (2.8 GHz) have been shown to be highly correlated (r = 0.88) during solar cycle 24. However, this correlation becomes nonlinear during…
Slow magnetoacoustic waves represent an important tool for probing the solar coronal plasma. We quantitatively assess the applicability of the weak thermal conduction theory to coronal seismology by slow waves. We numerically model the…
Solar filaments/prominences are one of the most common features in the corona, which may lead to energetic coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and flares when they erupt. Filaments are about one hundred times cooler and denser than the coronal…
Using the "enthalpy-based thermal evolution of loops" (EBTEL) model, we investigate the hydrodynamics of the plasma in a flaring coronal loop in which heat conduction is limited by turbulent scattering of the electrons that transport the…

Coronal rain consists of cool plasma condensations formed in coronal loops as a result of thermal instability. The standard models of coronal rain formation assume that the heating is quasi-steady and localised at the coronal loop…
