Formation of a Magnetic Flux Rope prior to the Eruption: Insight from a Radiative MHD Simulation of Active Region Emergence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Magnetic flux ropes are fundamental magnetic structures in solar eruptions, whose formation is generally attributed to: (1) the emergence of subsurface flux tubes; or (2) flux cancellation driven by photospheric horizontal flows and magnetic reconnection.

Identifying Coronal Sources of L1 Solar Wind Disturbances Using the Fisk Heliospheric Magnetic Field and Potential Field Extrapolations during Three Solar Minima

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The solar minima between solar cycles 22–23, 23–24, and 24–25 are the best observed minima on record. In situ solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field measurements by the Wind and ACE spacecraft at L1 with 1 hr cadence are explored using wavelet ...

Assessment of DKIST/VTF capabilities for the detection of local acoustic source wavefronts

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
IntroductionRecent studies have demonstrated that temporal filtering can successfully identify local acoustic source wavefronts in radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the solar photosphere.

Statistical Investigation of Wave Propagation in the Quiet-Sun Using IRIS Spectroscopic Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In this analysis, we use spectroscopic observations of the quiet Sun made by the IRIS instrument and investigate wave propagation. We analyze various spectral lines formed in different atmospheric layers, such as the photosphere, chromosphere, and ...

Derivation and Application of a Scaling between Hinode/SP and SDO/HMI Vector Magnetic Fields to Improve Magnetic Field Extrapolations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Full-disk measurements of the solar magnetic field by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) are often used for magnetic field extrapolations, but its limited spatial and spectral resolution can lead to significant errors.

Solar and stellar photospheric abundances

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Solar Physics, 2016
The determination of photospheric abundances in late-type stars from spectroscopic observations is a well-established field, built on solid theoretical foundations. Improving those foundations to refine the accuracy of the inferred abundances has proven challenging, but progress has been made.

The Formation of a Multifilament System Driven by Photospheric Converging Motions in a Bipolar Sunspot

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Solar filaments are believed to be a clump of cold plasma accumulated in the magnetic dips. However, the magnetic configuration of filaments and the key factors for their formation remains elusive.

The Schatten current sheet

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Space weather models endeavoring to connect remote observations to in-situ measurements at various locations in the heliosphere invariably require a coronal model to connect the photosphere magnetically to the inner heliosphere.

Case Studies on Pre-eruptive X-class Flares using R-value in the Lower Solar Atmosphere

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The R -value is a measure of the strength of photospheric magnetic polarity inversion lines in active regions (ARs). This work investigates the possibility of a relation between R -value variations and the occurrence of X-class flares in ARs, not in the ...
