The investigation of quasi-separatrix layers in solar magnetic fields [PDF]

, 2011
The structure of the magnetic field is often an important factor in many energetic processes in the solar corona. To determine the topology of the magnetic field features such as null points, separatrix surfaces, and separators must be found.

The Striated Solar Photosphere Observed at Resolution

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Striated granular edges observed in the solar photosphere represent one of the smallest-scale phenomena on the Sun. They arise from the interaction of strongly coupled hydrodynamic, magnetic, and radiative properties of the plasma.

Searching for Rotational X‐Ray Modulation on TIC 277539431

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT TIC 277539431, a fast rotating M7 dwarf, was detected to host the highest latitude flare to date at 81°$$ {81}^{{}^{\circ}} $$. Magnetic activity like stellar flares occurring at high latitude indicate occurrence of coronal loops at these latitudes on fully‐convective M dwarfs. In contrast, sunspots usually occur below 30°$$ {30}^{{}^{\circ}} $

Vortices in the solar photosphere

, 2012
Using numerical simulations of the magnetised solar photosphere and radiative diagnostics of the simulated photospheric models, we further analyse the physical nature of magnetic photospheric intergranular vortices. We confirm the magnetic nature of the vortices and find that most MHD Umov-Poynting flux is produced by horizontal vortex motions in the ...

MgIb(2) bright features in the solar photosphere [PDF]

, 2000
The magnetic network is a key component of solar irradiance and of the energy transport toward the corona. These network structures are associated in the photosphere with bright magnetic elements, whose dynamics is determined by granulation.

Transient rotation of photospheric vector magnetic fields associated with a solar flare

Nature Communications, 2018
The violent solar eruptions known as flares are caused by magnetic reconnection. Here, the authors identify a sudden 12°–20° counter clockwise rotation of vector magnetic fields in photosphere, associated with the emissions of moving flare ribbons.

Periodic Density Structures Observed in Ulysses Data: First Results

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Periodic density structures (PDSs) are advecting quasi‐periodic (periodicities between several minutes and several hours) density enhancements observed in the solar wind and corona. There is strong evidence that PDSs are formed at the Sun.

G-band spectral synthesis and diagnostics of simulated solar magneto-convection [PDF]

, 2004
Realistic simulations of radiative magneto-convection in the solar (sub)photosphere are used for a spectral synthesis of Fraunhofer's G band, which is dominated by spectral lines from the CH molecule.

Solar Vortex Tubes. III. Vorticity and Energy Transport

The Astrophysical Journal
This study investigated the mechanisms of vorticity generation and the role of vortex tubes in plasma heating and energy transport. Vortex tubes were identified using the instantaneous vorticity deviation technique in the MURaM data set of a simulated ...

On the Freeze‐In Distance of Solar Wind Fluid Entropy Variability in the Corona

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The strong correlation between solar wind entropy and the frozen‐in ion charge state ratio O7+/O6+ ${\mathrm{O}}^{7+}/{\mathrm{O}}^{6+}$ indicates that entropy variability on timescales of hours or longer is preserved from its solar source. This prompts the question: where in the solar atmosphere does this entropy variability come from, and at
