Solar Flare Activity, 1937–2024: Introducing the New Hemispheric Solar Flare Index (hSFI) in the Context of 2024's Major Solar Storm Events

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract A new daily composite of the solar flare index (SFI) and the hemispherically‐resolved versions (hSFI) are presented for 1937 to 2024. The data set confirms that the northern hemisphere (NH) dominated solar flare activity during Solar Cycles 17 to 21, but that the southern hemisphere has dominated from Solar Cycle 22 to present.

Horizontal supergranule-scale motions inferred from TRACE ultraviolet observations of the chromosphere

open access: yes, 2010
We study horizontal supergranule-scale motions revealed by TRACE observation of the chromospheric emission, and investigate the coupling between the chromosphere and the underlying photosphere.

Height dependence of the penumbral fine-scale structure in the inner solar atmosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We studied the physical parameters of the penumbra in a large and fully-developed sunspot, one of the largest over the last two solar cycles, by using full-Stokes measurements taken at the photospheric Fe I 617.3 nm and chromospheric Ca II 854.2 nm lines

Solar Radio Wide‐Band Spectroscopy and Imaging Facilities of the Chinese Meridian Project Phase II

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Solar eruptions, including flares and coronal mass ejections, are the most energetic phenomena in the solar system. These explosive events accelerate high‐energy particles and generate electromagnetic radiation from radio to gamma‐ray wavelengths, producing heliospheric disturbances and acting as primary drivers of space weather hazards.

The Potential of the Wavelength-integrated Scattering Polarization of the Hydrogen Lyα Line for Probing the Solar Chromosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The intensity and the linear scattering polarization profiles of the hydrogen Ly α line encode valuable information on the thermodynamic and magnetic structure of the upper layers of the solar chromosphere.

X-ray emission from dense plasma in CTTSs: Hydrodynamic modeling of the accretion shock

open access: yes, 2008
High spectral resolution X-ray observations of CTTSs demonstrate the presence of plasma at T~2-3X10^6 K and n_e~10^11-10^13 cm^-3, unobserved in non-accreting stars.

Dominant Trends in Jupiter's H3+ ${\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{3}}^{\mathbf{+}}$ Northern Aurora: II. Magnetospheric Mapping

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Jupiter's auroral regions have previously been defined by broad‐scale auroral structures, but these are typically obscured by the wide array of temporal variability observed at timescales between minutes and days, making it difficult to understand the underlying magnetospheric biases driving these brightness differences.

Formation of the Transition Region for the Quiet Sun

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We propose a partially ionized collisional two-fluid model of the formation of the transition region between the cool dense chromosphere and hot tenuous corona for the quiet Sun.

Comparison of Solar Imaging Feature Extraction Methods in the Context of Space Weather Prediction With Deep Learning‐Based Models

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Recently, many machine learning‐based models have been developed to predict geomagnetic activity several days in advance directly from space‐borne solar imaging. To better understand and improve these models, we compare dimensionality reduction techniques to extract abstract features from solar images for space weather‐related downstream tasks.

Heating of solar chromosphere by electromagnetic wave absorption in a plasma slab model

open access: yes, 2011
The heating of solar chromospheric inter-network regions by means of the absorption of electromagnetic (EM) waves that originate from the photospheric blackbody radiation is studied in the framework of a plasma slab model.
