Chromospheric Cannonballs on the Sun

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2019
Abstract In the highly dynamic chromosphere, there exist many kinds of small-scale activities, such as spicules, surges, and Ellerman bombs. Here, we report the discovery of a new phenomenon in the chromosphere observed with the New Vacuum Solar Telescope at the Fuxian Solar Observatory.

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Proton Core‐Beam Distributions in Heliospheric Current Sheet Region: Quasilinear Instability Analysis Combined With Collisional Relaxation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Parker Solar Probe has been proven as instrumental for the observation of young solar wind. During the encounters E‐07 and E‐08, PSP recorded the core plus beaming protons crossing the heliospheric current Sheet region. When the observed PSP data is plotted in the temperature ratio versus parallel beta space, it is found that the occurrence ...

Reconstruction of Two‐Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic and Hall Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibria in Space Using Physics‐Informed Neural Networks

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract We present a novel data analysis technique based on physics‐informed neural networks (PINNs) to reconstruct two‐dimensional (2D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and Hall MHD equilibria in a space plasma from in situ spacecraft measurements. Our method incorporates the steady‐state MHD or Hall MHD equations—a set of partial differential equations ...

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.

The Role of Partial Ionization Effects in the Chromosphere [PDF]

, 2015
The energy for the coronal heating must be provided from the convection zone. The amount and the method by which this energy is transferred into the corona depends on the properties of the lower atmosphere and the corona itself.

Ionisation in the Solar Chromosphere [PDF]

Nature, 1920
IT is well known that the spectrum of the upper layers of the solar chromosphere is chiefly composed of those lines which are relatively more strengthened in the spark than in the arc, and which Sir Norman Lockyer originally styled enhanced lines. The best-known examples are the calcium H and K and the strontium pair (4216, 4077).

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}} $

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.

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.

Structure and dynamics of the solar chromosphere [PDF]

, 2002
The thesis "Structure and dynamics of the solar chromosphere" of J.M. Krijger is a study on the behavior of the solar chromosphere, the thin layer just above the solar surface (photosphere) visible in purple red light during a total solar eclipse.
