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.

Multiwavelength High-resolution Observations of Chromospheric Swirls in the Quiet Sun [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2019
Abstract We report observations of small-scale swirls seen in the solar chromosphere. They are typically 2 Mm in diameter and last around 10 minutes. Using spectropolarimetric observations obtained by the CRisp Imaging Spectro-Polarimeter at the Swedish 1 m Solar Telescope, we identify and study a set of swirls in chromospheric Ca ii ...

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

Solar Activity Impacts on Ionospheric Scintillation and Precise Point Positioning Based on Multi‐Year GNSS and Scintillation Observations

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Solar activity induces ionospheric irregularities that degrade Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) performance through amplitude and phase scintillation. Although numerous studies have investigated event‐driven or regional responses, the nonlinear coupling between solar radiation, ionospheric scintillation, and precise point positioning (

A New Method for Probabilistic Spatiotemporal Forecasts of Solar Soft X‐Ray “S‐Class” (>X10) Superflares

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Solar superflares of S‐class (>X10 in soft X‐rays) pose extreme space weather hazards, yet their prediction remains a fundamental challenge owing to their rapid and transient natures and the limitations of conventional event‐based forecasts. We introduce for the first time, a probabilistic spatiotemporal framework designed to identify extended

Space Weather Impact of Three Solar Flares Observed by the POEMAS Telescope at 45 and 90 GHz

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Solar flares are often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that, when directed toward Earth, can disrupt the magnetosphere and impact space weather. In this study, we investigate three long‐duration solar flares observed in 2012 by the POlarization Emission of Millimeter Activity at the Sun (POEMAS) telescopes at 45 and 90 GHz.

Solar Flare Activity, 1937–2024: Introducing the New Hemispheric Solar Flare Index (hSFI) in the Context of 2024's Major Solar Storm Events

Space Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract A new daily composite of the solar flare index (SFI) and the hemispherically‐resolved versions (hSFI) are presented for 1937 to 2024. The data set confirms that the northern hemisphere (NH) dominated solar flare activity during Solar Cycles 17 to 21, but that the southern hemisphere has dominated from Solar Cycle 22 to present.

Solar Radio Wide‐Band Spectroscopy and Imaging Facilities of the Chinese Meridian Project Phase II

Space Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Solar eruptions, including flares and coronal mass ejections, are the most energetic phenomena in the solar system. These explosive events accelerate high‐energy particles and generate electromagnetic radiation from radio to gamma‐ray wavelengths, producing heliospheric disturbances and acting as primary drivers of space weather hazards.

Can High Frequency Acoustic Waves Heat the Quiet Sun Chromosphere? [PDF]

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2007
Abstract We use Hinode/SOT Ca II H-line and blue continuum broadband observations to study the presence and power of high frequency acoustic waves at high spatial resolution. We find that there is no dominant power at small spatial scales; the integrated power using the full resolution of Hinode ($0\rlap{.}^{\prime\prime}05$ pixels, $0 ...

Dominant Trends in Jupiter's H3+ ${\mathbf{H}}_{\mathbf{3}}^{\mathbf{+}}$ Northern Aurora: II. Magnetospheric Mapping

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Jupiter's auroral regions have previously been defined by broad‐scale auroral structures, but these are typically obscured by the wide array of temporal variability observed at timescales between minutes and days, making it difficult to understand the underlying magnetospheric biases driving these brightness differences.
