The Uniturbulence and Alfvén Wave Solar Model (UAWSoM) in MPI-AMRVAC

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. The coronal heating problem and the generation of the solar wind remain fundamental challenges in solar physics. While approaches based on, e.g., the Alfvén Wave Solar Model (AWSoM) have proven highly successful in reproducing the large-scale ...

Reduced Thermal Conduction in Solar Coronal Loops

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Thermal conduction plays an important role in the energy balance of the solar coronal plasma. In this paper, we present a new method for deriving observational constraints on the density–temperature relationship for coronal loops from the differential ...

Thread Separation and Expansion Observed in Multistranded Solar Coronal Loops

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The theoretical expectation that coronal loops should expand with height contrasts with observations that typically show constant cross sections. We investigate the idea that this discrepancy results from loops being composed of fine threads whose ...

Research Progress on Solar Supergranulation: Observations, Theories, and Numerical Simulations

open access: yesUniverse
Solar supergranulation is a large-scale convective structure on the solar surface, whose formation mechanism and dynamical properties are closely related to key physical processes such as solar magnetic field evolution, coronal heating, and solar wind ...

Measurements of the Perpendicular Correlation Length of Coronal Alfvénic Waves with DKIST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We have measured the perpendicular correlation length L _⊥ of Alfvénic waves in the corona using data from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) Cryogenic Near Infrared Spectropolarimeter (Cryo-NIRSP) instrument.

Stealth Non-standard-model Confined Flare Eruptions: Sudden Reconnection Events in Ostensibly Inert Magnetic Arches from Sunspots

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report seven examples of a long-ignored type of confined solar flare eruption that does not fit the standard model for confined flare eruptions. Because they are confined eruptions, do not fit the standard model, and unexpectedly erupt in ostensibly ...

Multiple Episodes of Remote Brightenings Driven by a Coronal Extreme-ultraviolet Jet on the Sun

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Remote brightening (RB) is compact brightening at footpoints of magnetic loops, which are remotely connecting to and confining an eruption in the solar atmosphere.

Enhanced Nonthermal Line Broadening inside Coronal Cavities above Solar Prominences Revealed by Spectral Imaging CoronaGraph

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Coronal cavities, often associated with prominences, are crucial structures in understanding coronal heating and the eruption mechanism of coronal mass ejections.

Two Distinctly Different Characteristics of Flare-driven Coronal Rain Revealed from High-resolution Spectroscopic Imaging Observations with FISS/GST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report on a flare-driven coronal rain event observed along postflare loops during the decay phase of an X1.6-class solar flare. Although high-resolution studies of flare-driven coronal rain have been conducted, imaging spectroscopic studies are rare ...
