Development and application of a global magnetic field evolution model for the solar corona [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Magnetic fields are fundamental to the structure and dynamics of the Sun’s corona. Observations show them to be locally complex, with highly sheared and twisted fields visible in solar filaments/prominences.

Rotational radial shear in the low solar photosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Context. Radial differential rotation is an important physical ingredient in stellar dynamo theory. In the case of the Sun, heliosismology techniques have revealed the existence of a near-surface shear layer covering 15–20% of the upper convection zone ...

2-D multiline spectroscopy of the solar photosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The structure and dynamics of the photosphere are investigated, with time series of broadband and monochromatic images of quiet granulation, at the solar disk center. Images were acquired with the IPM observing mode at the THEMIS telescope.

Extreme Value Analysis of Solar Green‐Line Corona During the Time Interval 1939–2025

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Predicting the probability of extreme solar events is critical to understanding how to mitigate risks associated with space weather disasters, as their occurrence can pose a threat to life and infrastructure on Earth or in near‐Earth orbit. In the present study, extreme value theory is applied to the daily modified coronal index (MCI) for the ...

The Nature of Microturbulence in the Solar Photosphere [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1974
It is shown that the increase in apparent Doppler width as the limb is approached is a natural consequence of the fact that the solar atmosphere is not homogeneous. The work on the sodium D line cores which assumes the solar atmosphere to be homogeneous is reviewed. It appears that the cores of the sodium D lines have been distorted by fluctuations in

Solar flux emergence : a three-dimensional numerical study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Flux is continually emerging on the Sun, making its way from the solar interior up into the atmosphere. Emergence occurs on small-scales in the quiet Sun where magnetic fragments emerge, interact and cancel and on large-scales in active regions where ...

Solar Vortex Detection with Velocity Field Normalization: Eliminating False Positives

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Small-scale vortices in the solar photosphere play a central role in transporting mass, energy, and momentum into the upper solar atmosphere, yet reliably detecting these structures remains rather challenging.

CI chondrite Oued Chebeika 002 links asteroids Bennu and Ryugu to common parent body

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 801-818, May 2026.
Abstract CI chondrites are a compositionally primitive group of meteorites that have undergone extensive aqueous alteration, providing insights into the evolution of primitive planetesimals. Oued Chebeika 002 is the most pristine CI chondrite to date.

Ryugu reference project: Recommendations from the measurement definition team

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 819-848, May 2026.
Abstract Sample return missions play a significant role in planetary science by providing pristine extraterrestrial materials. JAXA's Hayabusa2 and NASA's OSIRIS‐REx missions have returned samples from the C‐type asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. The chemical and mineralogical compositions of these samples closely resemble those of CI chondrites,
