A High-resolution, Inversion-based Synoptic Study of Solar Granulation

The Astrophysical Journal
The convectively driven, weakly magnetized regions of the solar photosphere dominate the Sun’s surface at any given time, but the temporal variations of these quiet regions of the photosphere throughout the solar cycle are still not well known.

Noble gases and nitrogen in material from asteroid Bennu

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, Page 1593-1609, July 2026.
Abstract We report the elemental and isotopic abundances of all stable noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon) in eight particles from asteroid Bennu returned by NASA's OSIRIS‐REx mission. We also report nitrogen abundances and isotopic ratios that were analyzed alongside neon and argon in four additional Bennu particles.

Simulated magnetic flows in the solar photosphere [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2015
Recent Sunrise/IMaX observations have revealed the existence of supersonic magnetic flows. Our aim is to determine the origin of such flows by using realistic MHD simulations. We simulate cancellation and emergence of magnetic flux through the solar photosphere. Our first numerical experiment starts with magnetic field of both polarities.

Transport of Solar Wind Fluctuations: A Two-Component Model [PDF]

, 2011
We present a new model for the transport of solar wind fluctuations which treats them as two interacting incompressible components: quasi-two-dimensional turbulence and a wave-like piece.

Quantifying the Impact of Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Event Light Curves

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 5, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The tidal field of a black hole can turn a star into a gas stream whose orbit can precess, especially if the a black hole is rapidly spinning. In this work, we investigate the impact of precession on the light curves of tidal disruption events (TDE).

Statistical behaviour of a proxy of the entropy production rate of the solar photosphere [PDF]

, 2019
The solar photosphere provides an incomparable laboratory to study turbulent convection in a dissipative non-equilibrium system. The evaluation of the entropy production rate on the solar photosphere and its probability distribution are the key issues ...

Identifying Coronal Sources of L1 Solar Wind Disturbances Using the Fisk Heliospheric Magnetic Field and Potential Field Extrapolations during Three Solar Minima

The Astrophysical Journal
The solar minima between solar cycles 22–23, 23–24, and 24–25 are the best observed minima on record. In situ solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field measurements by the Wind and ACE spacecraft at L1 with 1 hr cadence are explored using wavelet ...

Evolutions of various solar indices around sunspot maximum and sunspot minimum years [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2002
The smoothed monthly sunspot numbers showed that in many solar cycles, (a) during years around sunspot maxima, there was only one prominent maximum, but in some cycles there was a broad plateau. If the beginning and end of these are termed as first

Comparing Solar Structure Detection Methods in SDO/AIA Observations and the Application to Raw Uncalibrated Data

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Recent advances in solar physics increasingly rely on automated identification of coronal structures using machine learning. Yet most studies emphasize scientific performance without evaluating feasibility for onboard deployment to prioritize downlink observations.

Identifying and Predicting Coronal Mass Ejection Occurrence: Observational Checklists for Space Weather Forecasters

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Ejections of magnetized plasma from the Sun, known as coronal mass ejections, can drive major geomagnetic activity if Earth‐directed, and are therefore monitored by space weather forecasters. The current focus being the forecast of the arrival time of a coronal mass ejection at Earth and the level of geomagnetic impact.
