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 …

[HTML][HTML] Interrogating solar flare loop models with IRIS observations 2: plasma properties, energy transport, and future directions

GS Kerr - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 - frontiersin.org
During solar flares a tremendous amount of magnetic energy is released and transported

Diagnosing the optically thick/thin features using the intensity ratio of Si IV resonance lines in solar flares

YA Zhou, J Hong, Y Li, MD Ding - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
In the optically thin regime, the intensity ratio of the two Si iv resonance lines (1394 and
1403 Å) are theoretically the same as the ratio of their oscillator strengths, which is exactly 2 …
