Solar origins of solar wind properties during the cycle 23 solar minimum and rising phase of cycle 24

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research, 2013
The solar wind was originally envisioned using a simple dipolar corona/polar coronal hole sources picture, but modern observations and models, together with the recent unusual solar cycle minimum, have demonstrated the limitations of this picture.

Terrestrial Gamma‐Ray Flash Following Intense Negative Return Stroke Observed With BIMAP‐3D

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract We report ground‐based observations of a terrestrial gamma‐ray flash (TGF) associated with a strong negative cloud‐to‐ground lightning strike (‐CG) which occurred near Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico, USA. Gamma photons were detected by the Terrestrial High‐energy Observations of Radiation (THOR) instrument, developed at ...

How Are the Abnormally Hot Chromosphere and Corona Heated by the Solar Magnetic Fields?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The corona is a structure possessed by stars, including the Sun. The abnormal heating of the solar corona and chromosphere is one of the greatest mysteries in modern astronomy.

The Temperature and Emission Measure Distribution in the Quiet and Active Solar Corona: A Bayesian Approach

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
Abstract The reconstruction of the differential emission measure (DEM) from observations of spectral line intensities provides information on the temperature distribution of the emission measure in the region observed. The inversion process is known to be highly unstable, and it has been necessary to provide additional constraints, such ...

Multispacecraft Observations of Protons and Helium Nuclei in Some Solar Energetic Particle Events toward the Maximum of Cycle 25

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The intricate behavior of particle acceleration and transport mechanisms complicates the overall efforts in formulating a comprehensive understanding of solar energetic particle (SEP) events; these efforts include observations of low-energy particles ...

Energy Transport and Heating by Nonthermal Electrons in a Turbulent Solar Flare Environment

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The impulsive phase of a solar flare is known to generate strong turbulence and to transfer magnetic energy into accelerated electrons. Recognizing the importance of angular diffusion on the dynamics of the accelerated electrons, we extend previous ...

Challenges in Forecasting the Evolution of a Distorted CME Observed During the First Close Solar Orbiter Perihelion

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), drivers of the most severe Space Weather disturbances, are often assumed to evolve self-similarly during their propagation.

SuNeRF: 3D Reconstruction of the Solar EUV Corona Using Neural Radiance Fields

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
To understand its evolution and the effects of its eruptive events, the Sun is permanently monitored by multiple satellite missions. The optically thin emission of the solar plasma and the limited number of viewpoints make it challenging to reconstruct ...

A Double-decker Flux Rope Model for the Solar Eruption on 2012 March 10

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a magnetic configuration of a compound solar eruption observed on 2012 March 10, from NOAA AR 11429 near the disk center, which displayed a soft X-ray sigmoid before the eruption.

A model for heating the super-hot corona in solar active regions

open access: yesNature Astronomy
What physical mechanisms heat the outer solar or stellar atmosphere to million-Kelvin temperatures is a fundamental but long-standing open question. In particular, the solar corona in active region cores contains an even hotter component reaching ten million Kelvin, manifesting as persistent coronal loops in extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray images ...
