Context. The Association of Spacecraft for Polarimetric and Imaging Investigation of the
Corona of the Sun (ASPIICS) is a novel externally occulted solar coronagraph that will be …

Helmet streamers are a prominent manifestation of magnetic structures with current sheets
in the solar corona. These large-scale structures are regions with high plasma density …

This article describes recent tests and developments of imaging and evaluation techniques
for particle image velocimetry (PIV) that exploit the forward scattering of tracer particles by …

Abstract On 2017 April 1 and 3, two large eruptions on the western solar limb, which were
associated with M4. 4-and M5. 8-class flares, respectively, were observed with the Sun …

Transverse waves are sometimes observed in solar helmet streamers, typically after the
passage of a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME-driven shock wave moves the …

In the framework of development of ASPIICS (Association of Spacecraft for Polarimetric and
Imaging Investigation of the Corona of the Sun), the Centre Spatial de Liege is responsible …

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are major drivers of geomagnetic storms, which may cause
severe space weather effects. Automating the detection, tracking, and three-dimensional …
