Ellerman Bombs are signatures of magnetic reconnection, which is an important physical process in the solar atmosphere. How and where they occur is a subject of debate. In this paper we analyse Sunrise/IMaX data together with 3D MHD…

Ellerman bombs (EBs) seem to be a part of a whole spectrum of phenomena that might have the same underlying physical mechanism, but with observed characteristics which pose a considerable challenge to models. The aim of this study is to…

We study the upward propagation of a localized velocity pulse that is initially launched below the transition region within the solar atmosphere. The pulse quickly steepens into a shock, which may lead to the formation of spicules. We solve…
