NANOFLARE ACTIVITY IN THE SOLAR CHROMOSPHERE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 We use ground-based images of high spatial and temporal resolution to search for evidence of nanoflare activity in the solar chromosphere. Through close examination of more than 10^9 pixels in the immediate vicinity of an active region, we show that the distributions of observed intensity fluctuations have subtle asymmetries.

An ALMA Observation of Time Variations in Chromospheric Temperature of a Solar Plage Region
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Nanoflares and the shock formation of magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar chromosphere have been considered as key physical mechanisms of the heating of the chromosphere and corona.

Rotational Characteristics of the Solar Transition Region Using SDO/AIA 304 Å Images
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 To date, the rotational characteristics of the solar transition region remain unclear. In this work, by applying the flux modulation method to the images derived from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly between 2011 and 2022 at ...

Dissipation of Magnetohydrodynamic Waves in the Solar Stratified Flux Tubes [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2023 Chromosphere is the second layer of the Sun with high variability. The increase of the temperature and the decrease of the density are observed in this layer. This unusual behavior is one of the most important problems in the solar corona.

Propagating and Stationary Bright Knots in the Quiet Sun
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 The question of what heats the solar chromosphere and corona remains one of the most important puzzles in solar physics and astrophysics. Up to now, two mechanisms are considered to work in heating the chromosphere and corona: magnetic reconnection and ...

Lower solar atmosphere and magnetism at ultra-high spatial resolution [PDF]
, 2016 We present the scientific case for a future space-based telescope aimed at very high spatial and temporal resolution imaging of the solar photosphere and chromosphere. Previous missions (e.g., HINODE, SUNRISE) have demonstrated the power of observing the
