Signatures of Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Low Solar Atmosphere Observed in High Resolution

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2019
Magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) are important physical features closely related to solar eruptive activities with potential space weather consequences. Studying MFRs in the low solar atmosphere can shed light on their origin and subsequent magnetic structural

Heating of Chromospheres and Coronae [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 1998
AbstractAlmost all nondegenerate stars have chromospheres and coronae. These hot outer layers are produced by mechanical heating. The heating mechanisms of chromospheres and coronae, classified as hydrodynamic and magnetic mechanisms, are reviewed here.

Reconstructing Historical Solar Indices for Predicting Past Space Weather Events

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Modeling and forecasting the near‐Earth space environment, specifically the thermosphere, is particularly important because it affects the motion of low‐Earth orbit objects through atmospheric drag. Solar indices such as F10.7, S10.7, M10.7, and Y10.7 are commonly used as inputs to ionospheric and thermospheric density models.

Chromospheric Heating from Local Magnetic Growth and Ambipolar Diffusion under Nonequilibrium Conditions

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The heating of the chromosphere in internetwork regions remains one of the foremost open questions in solar physics. In the present study, we tackle this old problem by using a very-high-spatial-resolution simulation of quiet-Sun conditions performed ...

Searching for Rotational X‐Ray Modulation on TIC 277539431

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT TIC 277539431, a fast rotating M7 dwarf, was detected to host the highest latitude flare to date at 81°$$ {81}^{{}^{\circ}} $$. Magnetic activity like stellar flares occurring at high latitude indicate occurrence of coronal loops at these latitudes on fully‐convective M dwarfs. In contrast, sunspots usually occur below 30°$$ {30}^{{}^{\circ}} $

Periodic Density Structures Observed in Ulysses Data: First Results

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Periodic density structures (PDSs) are advecting quasi‐periodic (periodicities between several minutes and several hours) density enhancements observed in the solar wind and corona. There is strong evidence that PDSs are formed at the Sun.

On the Freeze‐In Distance of Solar Wind Fluid Entropy Variability in the Corona

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The strong correlation between solar wind entropy and the frozen‐in ion charge state ratio O7+/O6+ ${\mathrm{O}}^{7+}/{\mathrm{O}}^{6+}$ indicates that entropy variability on timescales of hours or longer is preserved from its solar source. This prompts the question: where in the solar atmosphere does this entropy variability come from, and at

Chromospheric and Coronal Spectra [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 1995
The interpretation of chromospheric and coronal spectra requires accurate ionization and recombination rates, collision strengths and transition probabilities. Recent projects to improve calculations of opacities in stellar interiors have led to a large amount of new atomic data.

Solar Activity Impacts on Ionospheric Scintillation and Precise Point Positioning Based on Multi‐Year GNSS and Scintillation Observations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Solar activity induces ionospheric irregularities that degrade Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) performance through amplitude and phase scintillation. Although numerous studies have investigated event‐driven or regional responses, the nonlinear coupling between solar radiation, ionospheric scintillation, and precise point positioning (
