Doppler signature of a possible termination shock in an off-limb solar flare

We report striking Doppler velocity gradients observed during the well-observed 2017 September 10 solar flare, and argue that they are consistent with the presence of an above-the-looptop termination shock beneath the flare current sheet. …

Possible Detection of Subsecond-period Propagating Magnetohydrodynamics Waves in Post-reconnection Magnetic Loops during a Two-ribbon Solar Flare

Solar flares involve the sudden release of magnetic energy in the solar corona. Accelerated nonthermal electrons have often been invoked as the primary means for transporting the bulk of the released energy to the lower solar atmosphere. However, …

Magnetic Reconnection Null Points as the Origin of Semirelativistic Electron Beams in a Solar Jet

Magnetic reconnection, the central engine that powers explosive phenomena throughout the universe, is also perceived to be one of the principal mechanisms for accelerating particles to high energies. Although various signatures of magnetic …

Dynamic Spectral Imaging of Decimetric Fiber Bursts in an Eruptive Solar Flare

Fiber bursts are a type of fine structure that is often superposed on type IV radio continuum emission during solar flares. Although studied for many decades, its physical exciter, emission mechanism, and association with the flare energy release …

Global Sausage Oscillation of Solar Flare Loops Detected by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph

An observation from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph reveals coherent oscillations in the loops of an M1.6 flare on 2015 March 12. Both the intensity and Doppler shift of Fe xxi 1354.08 ̊A show clear oscillations with a period of ~25 s. …

Resolving the Fan-spine Reconnection Geometry of a Small-scale Chromospheric Jet Event with the New Solar Telescope

Jets are ubiquitously present in both quiet and active regions on the Sun. They are widely believed to be driven by magnetic reconnection. A fan-spine structure has been frequently reported in some coronal jets and flares, and has been regarded as a …
