Identifying Plasma Fractionation Processes in the Chromosphere Using IRIS

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The composition of the solar corona differs from that of the photosphere, with the plasma thought to fractionate in the solar chromosphere according to the first ionization potential (FIP) of the different elements.

Basal Chromospheric Flux and Maunder Minimum-type Stars: The quiet-Sun Chromosphere as a Universal Phenomenon

open access: yes, 2012
Aims: We demonstrate the universal character of the quiet-Sun chromosphere among inactive stars (solar-type and giants). By assessing the main physical processes, we shed new light on some common observational phenomena.

The Bright Rim Prominences according to 2.5D Radiative Transfer

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Solar prominences observed close to the limb commonly include a bright feature that, from the perspective of the observer, runs along the interface between itself and the underlying chromosphere. Despite several idealized models being proposed to explain

The quiet chromosphere. Old wisdom, new insights, future needs

open access: yes, 2010
The introduction to this review summarizes chromosphere observation in two figures. The first part showcases the historical emphasis on the eclipse chromosphere in the development of NLTE line formation theory and criticizes 1D modeling.

Magnetic fields of an active region filament from full Stokes analysis of Si I 1082.7 nm and He I 1083.0 nm

open access: yes, 2012
Vector magnetic fields of an active region filament in the photosphere and upper chromosphere are obtained from spectro-polarimetric observations recorded with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP II) at the German Vacuum Tower Telescope (VTT).

Modeling the Solar Chromosphere

open access: yes, 2007
Spectral diagnostic features formed in the solar chromosphere are few and difficult to interpret -- they are neither formed in the optically thin regime nor in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). To probe the state of the chromosphere, both from observations and theory, it is therefore necessary with modeling.

Determining the Magnetic Field of Active Region Plages Using the Whole CLASP2/2.1 Spectral Window

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The Chromospheric LAyer SpectroPolarimeter missions, CLASP2 and CLASP2.1, demonstrated that the near-UV spectral region between 279.30 and 280.68 nm is suitable for studying the magnetism of the solar chromosphere.

Atmospheric Heating and Wind Acceleration: Results for Cool Evolved Stars based on Proposed Processes

open access: yes, 2014
A chromosphere is a universal attribute of stars of spectral type later than ~F5. Evolved (K and M) giants and supergiants (including the zeta Aurigae binaries) show extended and highly turbulent chromospheres, which develop into slow massive winds.

Small-scale structure and dynamics of the lower solar atmosphere

open access: yes, 2007
The chromosphere of the quiet Sun is a highly intermittent and dynamic phenomenon. Three-dimensional radiation (magneto-)hydrodynamic simulations exhibit a mesh-like pattern of hot shock fronts and cool expanding post-shock regions in the sub-canopy part

Preferential Appearance of Hα Moreton Waves along Photospheric Magnetic Network Boundaries

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Moreton waves are rare chromospheric signatures of large-scale coronal disturbances, often associated with big flares and coronal mass ejections. Using high-cadence, full-disk H α spectroscopic observations from Chinese H α Solar Explorer, together with ...
