Amorphous alumina in the extended atmosphere of Alpha Orionis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper we study the extended atmosphere of the late-type supergiant Alpha Orionis. Infrared spectroscopy of red supergiants reveals strong molecular bands, some of which do not originate in the photosphere but in a cooler layer of molecular ...

Diminishing activity of recent solar cycles (22–24) and their impact on geospace

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2019
This study examines the variation of different energies linked with the Sun and the Earth’s magnetosphere-ionosphere systems for solar cycles (SCs) 22–24 for which the gradual decrease in the solar activity is noticed.

Mechanisms for MHD Poynting flux generation in simulations of solar photospheric magneto-convection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate the generation mechanisms of MHD Poynting flux in the magnetised solar photosphere. Using radiative MHD modelling of the solar photosphere with initial magnetic configurations that differ in their field strength and geometry, we show the ...

On the generation of hydrodynamic shocks by mixed beams and occurrence of sunquakes in flares [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Observations of solar flares with sunquakes by space- and ground-based instruments reveal essentially different dynamics of seismic events in different flares.

Magnetic Tornado Properties: A Substantial Contribution to the Solar Coronal Heating via Efficient Energy Transfer

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In solving the solar coronal heating problem, it is crucial to comprehend the mechanisms by which energy is conveyed from the photosphere to the corona. Recently, magnetic tornadoes, characterized as coherent, rotating magnetic-field structures extending

Global solar photospheric and coronal magnetic field over activity cycles 21–25

open access: yesJournal of Space Weather and Space Climate
The evolution of the global solar magnetic field from the beginning of cycle 21 (mid-1970s) until the currently-ascending cycle 25 is described using photospheric full-disk and synoptic magnetograms from NSO Kitt Peak Vacuum Telescope (KPVT) 512-channel ...

The convection of close red supergiant stars observed with near-infrared interferometry

open access: yes, 2015
Our team has obtained observations of the photosphere of the two closest red supergiant stars Betelgeuse ($\alpha$ Ori) and Antares ($\alpha$ Sco) using near infrared interferometry.

Twisted flux tube emergence from the convection zone to the corona

open access: yes, 2007
3D numerical simulations of a horizontal magnetic flux tube emergence with different twist are carried out in a computational domain spanning the upper layers of the convection zone to the lower corona.

Dust in the Photospheric Environment: Unified Cloudy Models of M, L, and T Dwarfs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We address the problem of how dust forms and how it could be sustained in the static photospheres of cool dwarfs for a long time. In the cool and dense gas, dust forms easily at the condensation temperature, T_cond, and the dust can be in detailed ...

The photosphere of Pleione [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994
In this paper we report results concerning the photospheric Balmer discontinuity of Pleione. They show that after the Be → Be-shell phase transitions, the stellar photosphere keeps its characteristics unchanged.
