Solar Flare Spectroscopy

L Fletcher - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2024 - annualreviews.org
This review covers the techniques, observations, and inferences of solar flare spectroscopy.
It is not a spectroscopist's view of solar flares but rather a solar flare physicist's view of …

Observations of turbulent magnetic reconnection within a solar current sheet

X Cheng, Y Li, LF Wan, MD Ding, PF Chen… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process in various astrophysical, space,

Simultaneous observation of a flux rope eruption and magnetic reconnection during an X-class solar flare

XL Yan, LH Yang, ZK Xue, ZX Mei… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
In this Letter, we present a spectacular eruptive flare (X8. 2) associated with a coronal mass
ejection on 2017 September 10 at the west limb of the Sun. A flux rope eruption is followed …

Comparison of active region upflow and core properties using simultaneous spectroscopic observations from IRIS and Hinode

K Barczynski, L Harra, L Kleint, B Panos… - Astronomy & …, 2021 - aanda.org
Context. The origin of the slow solar wind is still an open issue. It has been suggested that
upflows at the edge of active regions are a possible source of the plasma outflow and …

Stochastic electron acceleration by temperature anisotropy instabilities under solar flare plasma conditions

M Riquelme, A Osorio, D Verscharen… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Using 2D particle-in-cell plasma simulations, we study electron acceleration by temperature
anisotropy instabilities, assuming conditions typical of above-the-loop-top sources in solar …

Properties and Energetics of Magnetic Reconnection: I. Evolution of Flare Ribbons

J Qiu, J Cheng - Solar Physics, 2022 - Springer
In this article, we measure the mean magnetic shear from the morphological evolution of
flare ribbons, and examine the evolution of flare thermal and nonthermal X-ray emissions …

[PDF][PDF] Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Corona

M Kumar, C Wang - Balkan, Black sea and Caspian sea …, 2019 - newserver.stil.bas.bg
Magnetic reconnection, a ubiquitous process in space plasmas, is currently cutting-edge
research. This process is usually referred to as the topological reconstruction of the …

Inferring the magnetic field asymmetry of solar flares from the degree of polarisation at millimetre wavelengths

DF Silva, PJA Simões, RF Hidalgo Ramírez, A Válio - Solar Physics, 2020 - Springer
Polarisation measurements of solar flares at millimetre-waves were used to investigate the
magnetic field configuration of the emitting sources. We analyse two solar flares (SOL2013 …
