Data-constrained Solar Modeling with GX Simulator by G. Nita et al

2023-08-08

In the dynamic realm of modern solar physics, where vast and diverse data sets challenge understanding, a critical need emerges for advanced data-constrained 3D modeling that combines photospheric magnetic fields measurements and a wide range of contextual electromagnetic radiation observations, which includes radio, X-ray, and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions. Bridging all these available observational data constraints is imperative to create a comprehensive understanding of solar activity and phenomena. Addressing this […]

Imaging preflare broadband pulsations in the decimetric-metric wavelengths by Lv et al

2023-07-04

Solar radio pulsations represent (quasi-)periodic or irregular short fluctuations observed from the radio flux curves or the dynamic spectra, in almost all wavelength ranges from metric to microwave (See the review by Nindos & Aurass 2007). They can be classified as broadband pulsations (BBPs) and narrowband pulsations (NBPs). Most earlier studies have focused on pulsations taking place during the impulsive or decay phases of solar flares. During the preflare stage, […]

Electron acceleration efficiency during the impulsive phase of a solar flare: X-ray and microwave observations by Kontar et al

2023-06-20

Solar flares are known to be prolific electron accelerators, yet identifying the mechanism(s) for such efficient electron acceleration in magnetic reconnection events at the Sun (and similar astrophysical settings) presents a major challenge in Astrophysics (e.g. Holman et al 2011). Accelerated electrons with energies above $\sim 20$ keV are revealed by hard X-ray (HXR) bremsstrahlung emission, while accelerated electrons with even higher energies usually manifest themselves through radio gyrosynchrotron emission. […]

Microwave imaging of quasi-periodic pulsations at flare current sheet by Yuankun Kou et al.

2023-01-03

Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs; also known as quasi-periodic oscillations, i.e., QPOs) are phenomena that electromagnetic emissions vary quasi-periodically with time. They appear in celestial transient events with different temporal/spatial scales, such as stellar flares, gamma ray bursts and fast radio bursts, and etc. The Sun is a normal but the closest star from us, where flares with QPPs appear frequently (e.g. Zimovets et al. 2021 as a review). In the standard […]

Quasi-Periodic Particle Acceleration in a Solar Flare
by B. Clarke et al.*

2021-08-17

Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) are defined as intensity modulations in the flare electromagnetic radiation as a function of time. These modulations have been found to have characteristic periodicities that range from < 1 s up to several minutes. QPPs were first associated with the impulsive phase of flares and observed in the hard X-ray (HXR) and radio wavebands (Parks & Winkler 1969). They have more recently been observed within the thermal […]

Energy budget of plasma motions, heating, and electron acceleration in a three-loop solar flare
by G. Motorina et al.*

2021-07-06

The solar flare phenomenon is a complex process in the solar atmosphere where non-potential magnetic energy is released and converted into other forms of energy, such as nonthermal energy of accelerated particles, thermal energy of heated flaring plasma, kinetic energy of eruptions, jets, up/down flows, and stochastic (turbulent) plasma motions. The processes lying behind initial division between energy components, distribution of these components among flaring loops and their evolution are […]

Narrowband Spikes Observed during the 2013 November 7 Flare
by M. Karlicky et al.

2021-06-22

Narrowband dm-spikes belong to the most interesting fine structures of solar radio bursts that are closely connected to primary flare energy-release processes (Krueger 1979) and observed in some cases near the Type III burst starting frequency. They occur in clouds of narrowband bursts with a typical duration less than 100 ms, frequency relative bandwidth 1-3 %, and brightness temperature up to $10^{15}$ K. For them several radio emission models were suggested. Earlier models suggested […]

Radio and X-ray Observations of Short-lived Episodes of Electron Acceleration in a Solar Microflare
by R. Sharma et al.

2021-03-30

In a solar flare, the plasma is locally heated and particles are accelerated to energies from a few tens of keV to MeVs. X-ray bremsstrahlung emission and radio gyrosynchrotron emission are highly complementary and provide diagnostics of the timing, location and spectral properties of flare-accelerated electrons in a broad energy range. Here we present comprehensive observations of multiple individual bursts during a GOES B1.7-class (back-ground subtracted) microflare observed jointly in […]
