The chromosphere is the interface between the photospheric solar surface and the outer corona and wind. In this complex domain thesolar gas becomes transparent...
The stochastic, intermittent nature of quiet Sun magnetism
The quiet Sun (the 99%, or more, of the solar surface not covered by sunspots or active regions) is receiving increased attention in recent years; its role on...
The Sun is a magnetic star, not as magnetic as some stars, or as it was when itwas younger, but nonetheless magnetic fields dominate and even construct...
Turbulence and Particle Acceleration in Solar Flares
A solar flare involves the conversion of magnetic energy stored in the coronal magnetic field into the kinetic energy of thermal and non-thermal particles, mass...
Recent advances in 3D model atmospheres have led to a significant downward revision in photospheric heavy element abundance estimates for the Sun, especially...
Magnetic fields break through the solar surface in a hierarchy of magnetic elements ranging from Earth-sized sunspots down to tiny concentrations that are...
In mid nineteens, it was discovered that the Sun had a dipolar global magnetic field, whose temporal evolution followed the Solar Cycle. Polar regions, as well...
