The Sun as a star: observations of white-light flares [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 Solar flares radiates energy at all wavelengths, but the spectral distribution of this energy is still poorly known. White-light continuum emission is sometimes observed and the flares are then termed "white-light flares" (WLF). In this paper, we investigate if all flares are white-light flares and how is the radiated energy spectrally distributed.

Sun-as-a-star analysis of simulated solar flares [PDF]
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Stellar flares have an impact on habitable planets. To relate the observations of the Sun with those of stars, one needs to use a Sun-as-a-star analysis, that is, to degrade the resolution of the Sun to a single point. With the data of the Sun-as-a-star observations, a simulation of solar flares is required to provide a systemic clue for the ...

A catalogue of white-light flares observed by Yohkoh [PDF]
, 2003 The aspect camera of the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) on Yohkoh provided the first systematic survey of white-light flares from an observatory in space. The observations were made in the Fraunhofer g-band at a pixel size of 2.46 arcsec and a typical sample

Small scale energy release driven by supergranular flows on the quiet Sun [PDF]
, 2007 In this article we present data and modelling for the quiet Sun that strongly suggest a ubiquitous small-scale atmospheric heating mechanism that is driven solely by converging supergranular flows. A possible energy source for such events is the power

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 169-190., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Generation of cosmic rays during chromospheric flares and weak increases in the brightening of the sun [PDF]
, 1968 The changes in the neutron component of cosmic rays at times of chromospheric flares and small increases in the brightening of the sun are studied, using the data from the worldwide network of stations.

Physical Processes in Magnetically Driven Flares on the Sun, Stars, and Young Stellar Objects [PDF]
, 2010 The first flare on the Sun was observed exactly 150 years ago. During most of the long history, only secondary effects have been noticed, so flares remained a riddle.

An approximate recipe of chromospheric radiative losses for solar flares [PDF]
, 2022 Context. Radiative losses in the chromosphere are very important for the energy balance of the Sun. There have been efforts to make simple lookup tables for chromospheric radiative losses in the quiet Sun.
