The UK Met Office’s Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) Ensemble Prediction System

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We describe the 24‐member Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) ensemble prediction system that is used operationally at the UK's Met Office Space Weather Operations Center (MOSWOC) to forecast the arrival time of CMEs at Earth. The ensemble system was built on ad‐hoc assumptions and there is the need to investigate whether the technique can be improved

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.

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).

Solar Vortex Detection with Velocity Field Normalization: Eliminating False Positives

The 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.

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.

Coronal heating and wind acceleration by nonlinear Alfvén waves – global simulations with gravity, radiation, and conduction [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2008
We review our recent results of global one-dimensional (1-D) MHD simulations for the acceleration of solar and stellar winds. We impose transverse photospheric motions corresponding to the granulations, which generate outgoing Alfvén waves.

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

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.

The propagation and damping of slow magnetoacoustic waves in the solar atmosphere [PDF]

, 2012
The propagation and damping of slow magnetoacoustic waves in the solar atmosphere is investigated, with particular emphasis placed on waves with periodicities of five minutes. The basic model of a uniform temperature loop is extended by the addition of

High-resolution Observations of a C9.3 White-light Flare and Its Impact on the Solar Photosphere

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present a detailed analysis of a C9.3 white-light flare using high-resolution observations from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope. The flare occurred near the eastern solar limb on 2023 September 11, within NOAA AR 13431, and produced beam electrons with
