Statistical Properties of Small‐Scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the Near‐Earth Solar Wind

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract We present a statistical analysis of small‐scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) observed in the near‐Earth solar wind using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) and Wind spacecraft, identified through an automated Grad–Shafranov reconstruction technique.

Are Heating Events in the Quiet Solar Corona Small Flares? Multiwavelength Observations of Individual Events [PDF]

Solar Physics, 2000
Temporary enhancements of the coronal emission measure in a quiet region have been shown to constitute a significant energy input. Here some relatively large events are studied for simultaneous brightenings in transition region lines and in radio emission. Associated emissions are discussed and tested for characteristics known from full-sized impulsive

On the Million-degree Signature of Spicules

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Spicules have often been proposed as substantial contributors toward the mass and energy balance of the solar corona. While their transition region (TR) counterpart has unequivocally been established over the past decade, the observations concerning the ...

Solar Energetic Particle Forecasting With Multi‐Task Deep Learning: SEPNET

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Solar energetic particle (SEP) events pose severe threats to spacecraft, astronaut safety, and aviation operations. Accurate SEP forecasting remains a critical challenge in space weather research as a result of their complex origins and highly variable propagation.

EXPLAINING INVERTED-TEMPERATURE LOOPS IN THE QUIET SOLAR CORONA WITH MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC WAVE-MODE CONVERSION [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2016
ABSTRACT Coronal loops trace out bipolar, arch-like magnetic fields above the Sun’s surface. Recent measurements that combine rotational tomography, extreme-ultraviolet imaging, and potential-field extrapolation have shown the existence of large loops with inverted-temperature profiles, i.e., loops for which the apex temperature is a ...

Turbulence in a Coronal Loop Excited by Photospheric Motions

Atmosphere, 2020
Photospheric motions are believed to be the source of coronal heating and of velocity fluctuations detected in the solar corona. A numerical model, based on the shell technique applied on reduced magnetohydrodynamics equations, is used to represent ...

Coronal Loop Heating by Nearly Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamic and Reduced Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence Models

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The transport of waves and turbulence beyond the photosphere is central to the coronal heating problem. Turbulence in the quiet solar corona has been modeled on the basis of the nearly incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (NI MHD) theory to describe the ...

Solar Energetic Particle Prediction in the Inner Heliosphere Using Deep Learning and PSP/IS⊙IS Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Solar events, such as coronal mass ejections and solar flares, accelerate large numbers of energetic charged particles, producing solar energetic particle (SEP) events that can harm astronauts, damage satellites, and potentially damage infrastructure on Earth.

Space Weather Disrupts Low‐Latitude Network RTK: Evidence From LSTIDs During June 2025 Geomagnetic Storm

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The geomagnetic storm on 1 June 2025 generated pronounced large‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (LSTIDs) over China, captured by dense GNSS networks. It has been unclear whether network real‐time kinematic (NRTK) positioning, which relies on spatial interpolation from multiple reference stations, remains effective under such extreme ...

Nitric Oxide Radiative Relaxation Time: Damping Timescales of Lower Thermospheric Thermal Perturbations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) radiative cooling governs much of the energy budget in the Earth's lower thermosphere and damps out temperature perturbations. The radiative relaxation time (RRT), the timescale that defines how efficiently infrared radiation damps out the perturbations to the thermal structure to 1/e of the perturbation's initial value, is ...
