The Airborne Infrared Spectrometer: Development, Characterization, and the 2017 August 21 Eclipse Observation

The Astronomical Journal, 2022
On 2017 August 21, the Airborne Infrared Spectrometer (AIR-Spec) observed the total solar eclipse at an altitude of 14 km from aboard the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream V research aircraft.

Universal Time Influence on Stormtime Magnetosphere Ionosphere Coupling

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The offset between Earth's magnetic and rotational axes introduces a diurnal dependence in the high‐latitude EUV exposure of the northern hemisphere (NH) and southern hemisphere (SH). This variation raises the question: Does the Universal Time (UT) of geomagnetic storm onset impact its geospace consequences?

Total Solar Eclipse White-light Images as a Benchmark for Potential Field Source Surface Coronal Magnetic Field Models: An In-depth Analysis over a Solar Cycle

The Astrophysical Journal
Potential field source surface (PFSS) models are widely used to simulate coronal magnetic fields. PFSS models use the observed photospheric magnetic field as the inner boundary condition and assume a perfectly radial field beyond a “source surface” ( R ...

Fully Kinetic Simulations of Ion‐Acoustic Waves in Asymmetric Reconnection With Cold Ions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract In collisionless plasma, ion‐acoustic wave (IAW) is an important candidate for enhancing resistivity and viscosity, yet their presence and role in magnetic reconnection remain poorly understood. Here, we employ 2.5‐D particle‐in‐cell simulations to investigate IAWs in asymmetric magnetopause reconnection involving a cold ion population ...

Spectroscopic Observations of the Solar Corona during the 2017 August 21 Total Solar Eclipse: Comparison of Spectral Line Widths and Doppler Shifts between Open and Closed Magnetic Structures

The Astrophysical Journal
The spectroscopic observations presented here were acquired during the 2017 August 21 total solar eclipse (TSE) with a three-channel partially multiplexed imaging spectrometer operating at extremely high orders (>50). The 4 R _⊙ extent of the slit in the

Surface Air Enrichment of Cosmogenic 35S at a Subtropical Site During the May 2024 Solar Superstorm

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Cosmogenic radiosulfur (35S) is produced in the atmosphere by high‐energy particle interactions and serves as a sensitive tracer of stratospheric intrusions. In May 2024, an extreme solar storm provided a rare opportunity to examine atmospheric 35S responses to intense solar activity.

Coronal Densities, Temperatures, and Abundances during the 2019 Total Solar Eclipse: The Role of Multiwavelength Observations in Coronal Plasma Characterization

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The Airborne Infrared Spectrometer (AIR-Spec) offers an unprecedented opportunity to explore the near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range. It has been flown at two total solar eclipses, in 2017 and 2019.

THE CORONAL SOURCE OF EXTREME-ULTRAVIOLET LINE PROFILE ASYMMETRIES IN SOLAR ACTIVE REGION OUTFLOWS [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2012
High resolution spectra from the Hinode EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) have revealed that coronal spectral line profiles are sometimes asymmetric, with a faint enhancement in the blue wing on the order of 100 km/s. These asymmetries could be important since they may be subtle, yet diagnostically useful signatures of coronal heating or solar wind ...

Discovery and Initial Investigation of a New Low Surface Brightness Planetary Nebula Candidate at High Galactic Latitude

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Planetary nebulae represent a late evolutionary phase of low‐ to intermediate‐mass stars. In this article, we present the serendipitous discovery of a previously unknown, faint potential Galactic planetary nebula (PN) in the constellation Camelopardalis, identified during a survey‐inspection, aiming at the detection of dwarf companions of the ...
