The mechanism that forms dynamic type II spicules has remained elusive for many years. Their dynamical behaviour has long been linked to magnetic reconnection, yet no conclusive evidence has been provided. However, one recent observational…
Magnetic reconnection in the deep solar atmosphere can give rise to enhanced emission in the Balmer hydrogen lines, a phenomenon referred to as Ellerman bombs. Recent high quality H$\beta$ observations indicate that Ellerman bombs are more…
Ellerman Bomb-like brightenings of the hydrogen Balmer line wings in the quiet Sun (QSEBs) are a signature of the fundamental process of magnetic reconnection at the smallest observable scale in the solar lower atmosphere. We analyze high…
Quiet-Sun Ellerman bombs (QSEBs) are small-scale magnetic reconnection events in the lower atmosphere of the quiet Sun. Recent work has shown that a small percentage of them can occur co-spatially and co-temporally to ultraviolet (UV)…
We describe a new quiet-Sun phenomenon which we call "Quiet-Sun Ellerman-like Brightenings" (QSEB). QSEBs are similar to Ellerman bombs (EB) in some respects but differ significantly in others. EBs are transient brightenings of the wings of…
We use observations of quiet Sun (QS) regions in the H$\alpha$ 6563 \AA, Ca~{\sc ii} 8542 \AA\, and Fe~{\sc i} 6302 \AA\ lines. We observe brightenings in the wings of the H$\alpha$ and Ca~{\sc ii} combined with observations of the…
Quiet Sun Ellerman Bombs (QSEBs) are key indicators of small-scale photospheric magnetic reconnection events. Recent high-resolution observations have shown that they are ubiquitous and that large numbers of QSEBs can be found in the quiet…
The presence of photospheric magnetic reconnection has long been thought to give rise to short and impulsive events, such as Ellerman bombs (EBs) and Type II spicules. In this article, we combine high-resolution, high-cadence observations…
Ellerman bombs (EBs) have been widely studied over the past two decades; however, only recently have counterparts of these events been observed in the quiet-Sun. The aim of this article is to further understand small-scale quiet-Sun…
Understanding the dynamic solar chromosphere is fundamental in solar physics. Spicules are an important feature of the chromosphere, connecting the photosphere to the corona, potentially mediating the transfer of energy and mass. The aim of…
QSEBs are small-scale magnetic reconnection events in lower solar atmosphere. Sometimes, they exhibit transition region counterparts, known as UV brightenings. Magnetic field extrapolations suggest that QSEBs can occur at various locations…
Magnetic reconnection in the deep solar atmosphere can give rise to enhanced emission in the Balmer hydrogen lines, a phenomenon known as Ellerman bombs (EBs). It is most common to observe EBs in the H-alpha and H-beta lines. High quality…
Ellerman bombs (EBs) are small-scale intense brightenings in H$\alpha$ wing images, which are generally believed to be signatures of magnetic reconnection events around the temperature minimum region of the solar atmosphere. They have a…
The focus of this investigation is to quantify the conversion of magnetic to thermal energy initiated by a quiet Sun cancellation event and to explore the resulting dynamics from the interaction of the opposite polarity magnetic features.…
Ellerman Bombs (EBs) are thought to arise as a result of photospheric magnetic reconnection. We use data from the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST), to study EB events on the solar disk and at the limb. Both datasets show that EBs are…
The emergence of magnetic flux into the solar atmosphere produces, among other phenomena, Ellerman bombs (EBs), which are observed in H alpha and are due to magnetic reconnection in the photosphere below the chromospheric canopy. Signs of…
Ellerman bombs (EBs) have been widely studied in recent years due to their dynamic, explosive nature and apparent links to the underlying photospheric magnetic field implying that they may be formed by magnetic reconnection in the…
Over the last two decades the uninterrupted, high-resolution observations of the Sun, from the excellent range of telescopes aboard many spacecraft complemented with observations from sophisticated ground-based telescopes have opened up a…
Spicules are ubiquitous, small-scale features in the solar atmosphere, exhibiting a jet-like appearance most clearly identified by their apparent motion in off-limb observations. While they are often interpreted as narrow, thread-like…
Ellerman bombs (EBs) are observable signatures of photospheric small-scale magnetic reconnection events. The reliable automatic detection of EBs would enable the study of the impact of magnetic reconnection on the Sun's dynamics. We aim to…
