Aims: This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of short-exposure extreme ultraviolet (EUV) observations of solar flares in the study of particle acceleration, heating and energy partition in flares. This work highlights the…

Dynamic fibrils (DFs) are commonly observed chromospheric features in solar active regions. Recent observations from the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) aboard the Solar Orbiter have revealed unambiguous signatures of DFs at the coronal…

We present new measurements of the time variability of intensity, Doppler and non-thermal velocities in moss in an active region core observed by the EUV Imaging Spectrometer on Hinode in 2007, June. The measurements are derived from…
