We use state-of-the-art radiation-MHD simulations and 3D non-LTE radiative transfer computations to investigate \Halpha\ line formation in the solar chromosphere and apply the results of this investigation to develop the potential of…
We study the hydrogen Lyman emission in various solar features - now including Lyman-alpha observations free from geocoronal absorption - and investigate statistically the imprint of flows and of the magnetic field on the line profile and…
The hydrogen Lyman lines ( 91.2 nm < lambda < 121.6 nm) are significant contributors to the radiative losses of the solar chromosphere, and are enhanced during flares. We have shown previously that the Lyman lines observed by the Extreme…
The Hydrogen Balmer series is a basic radiative loss channel from the flaring solar chromosphere. We report here on the analysis of an extremely rare set of simultaneous observations of a solar flare in the H${\alpha}$ and H${\beta}$ lines…

We investigate the role of non-thermal electrons in the formation regions of Halpha, Hbeta, and Hgamma lines in order to unfold their influence on the formation of these lines. We concentrate on pulse-beam heating varying on a subsecond…
We show how the observed hydrogen Balmer and Lyman emission lines constrain the modeling of quiescent solar prominences. We compare space observations of Lyman lines with ground-based observations of Balmer lines for quiescent solar…
The hydrogen Lyman-$\alpha$ (H {\sc i} Ly$\alpha$) emission during solar flares has rarely been studied in spatially resolved images and its physical origin has not been fully understood. In this paper, we present novel Ly$\alpha$ images…
The quiet solar corona emits meter-wave thermal bremsstrahlung. Coronal radio emission can only propagate above that radius, $R_\omega$, where the local plasma frequency eqals the observing frequency. The radio interferometer LOw Frequency…

Ultraviolet spectroscopy of the extended solar corona is a powerful tool for measuring the properties of protons, electrons, and heavy ions in the accelerating solar wind. The large coronal holes that expand up from the north and south…
Characterising the large-scale structure and plasma properties of the inner corona is crucial to understand the source and subsequent expansion of the solar wind and related space weather effects. Here we apply a new coronal rotational…
