THE SUN’S PHOTOSPHERIC CONVECTION SPECTRUM [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2015
Spectra of the cellular photospheric flows are determined from full-disk Doppler velocity observations acquired by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft. Three different analysis methods are used to separately determine spectral coefficients representing the poloidal flows, the toroidal

Comparing Solar Structure Detection Methods in SDO/AIA Observations and the Application to Raw Uncalibrated Data

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in solar physics increasingly rely on automated identification of coronal structures using machine learning. Yet most studies emphasize scientific performance without evaluating feasibility for onboard deployment to prioritize downlink observations.

Identifying and Predicting Coronal Mass Ejection Occurrence: Observational Checklists for Space Weather Forecasters

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Ejections of magnetized plasma from the Sun, known as coronal mass ejections, can drive major geomagnetic activity if Earth‐directed, and are therefore monitored by space weather forecasters. The current focus being the forecast of the arrival time of a coronal mass ejection at Earth and the level of geomagnetic impact.

Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of biodiversity in response. However, most studies focus on a small range of taxa (e.g., vertebrates, plants), leaving many other groups poorly ...

A Cosmological Fireball with 16% Gamma-Ray Radiative Efficiency

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosions in the universe. How efficiently the jet converts its energy to radiation is a long-standing problem, which is poorly constrained.

Extreme Value Analysis of Solar Green‐Line Corona During the Time Interval 1939–2025

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Predicting the probability of extreme solar events is critical to understanding how to mitigate risks associated with space weather disasters, as their occurrence can pose a threat to life and infrastructure on Earth or in near‐Earth orbit. In the present study, extreme value theory is applied to the daily modified coronal index (MCI) for the ...

CI chondrite Oued Chebeika 002 links asteroids Bennu and Ryugu to common parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 801-818, May 2026.
Abstract CI chondrites are a compositionally primitive group of meteorites that have undergone extensive aqueous alteration, providing insights into the evolution of primitive planetesimals. Oued Chebeika 002 is the most pristine CI chondrite to date.

Ryugu reference project: Recommendations from the measurement definition team

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 819-848, May 2026.
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,

Clues to the photosphere emission origin of gamma-ray burst polarization

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Despite more than half a century of research, the dominant radiation mechanism of gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission remains unsolved. Some progress has been made through the analyses of the observational spectra of Swift/BAT, Konus/Wind, and

Spectral Irradiance Observations and Projections for Solar Cycle 25

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the Aura satellite makes near‐daily measurements of solar spectral irradiance (SSI) at wavelengths between 265 and 500 nm for instrument calibration purposes. The low degradation and exceptional stability of OMI's calibration during its lifetime facilitates the creation of a new 18‐year OMI Version 7 ...
