Basal Chromospheric Flux and Maunder Minimum-type Stars: The quiet-Sun Chromosphere as a Universal Phenomenon

open access: yes, 2012
Aims: We demonstrate the universal character of the quiet-Sun chromosphere among inactive stars (solar-type and giants). By assessing the main physical processes, we shed new light on some common observational phenomena.

Preferential Appearance of Hα Moreton Waves along Photospheric Magnetic Network Boundaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Moreton waves are rare chromospheric signatures of large-scale coronal disturbances, often associated with big flares and coronal mass ejections. Using high-cadence, full-disk H α spectroscopic observations from Chinese H α Solar Explorer, together with ...

Hall instability of solar flux tubes

open access: yes, 2012
The magnetic network which consists of vertical flux tubes located in intergranular lanes is dominated by Hall drift in the photosphere-lower chromosphere region ($\lesssim 1 Mm$).

Observing the Solar Chromosphere

open access: yes, 2007
This review is split into two parts: one on chromospheric line formation in answer to the frequent question "where is my line formed", and one presenting state-of-the-art imagery of the chromosphere. In the first part I specifically treat the formation of the Na D lines, Ca II H & K, and Halpha.

What Happens in “Chromospheres”?

open access: yesStem Cells Translational Medicine, 2013
The recent paper by Santana et al. titled “Isolation, Characterization, and Differentiation of Progenitor Cells From Adult Human Adrenal Medulla” [1] is an interesting contribution to human chromaffin cell biology. However, I am concerned about omissions of important information in the literature that could lead to alternate interpretations of the ...

The Bright Rim Prominences according to 2.5D Radiative Transfer

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Solar prominences observed close to the limb commonly include a bright feature that, from the perspective of the observer, runs along the interface between itself and the underlying chromosphere. Despite several idealized models being proposed to explain

Chromospheric Flares

open access: yes, 2007
In this topical review I revisit the "chromospheric flare." This should currently be an outdated concept, because modern data seem to rule out the possiblity of a major flare happening independently in the chromosphere alone, but the chromosphere still plays a major observational role in many ways.

Observations of the Formation and Disappearance of a Funnel Prominence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present an observational study of the formation and disappearance of a funnel prominence. Before the funnel prominence formed, cool materials from the top of a preexisting polar crown prominence flowed along saddle-shaped coronal loops to their base ...
