Revisiting the formation mechanism for coronal rain from previous studies
Peter, Hardi; Chitta, Lakshmi Pradeep; Li, Le-Ping +1 more
Solar coronal rain is classified generally into two categories: flare-driven and quiescent coronal rain. Th latter is observed to form along both closed and open magnetic field structures. Recently, we proposed that some of the quiescent coronal rain events, detected in the transition region and chromospheric diagnostics, along loop-like paths cou…
Transition-region explosive events produced by plasmoid instability
Li, Dong
Magnetic reconnection is thought to be a key process in most solar eruptions. Thanks to highresolution observations and simulations, the studied scale of the reconnection process has become smaller and smaller. Spectroscopic observations show that the reconnection site can be very small, which always exhibits a bright core and two extended wings w…
Probing the solar transition region: current status and future perspectives
Tian, Hui
The solar transition region (TR) is the temperature regime from roughly 0.02 MK to 0.8 MK in the solar atmosphere. It is the transition layer from the collisional and partially ionized chromosphere to the collisionless and fully ionized corona. The TR plays an important role in the mass and energy transport in both the quiet solar atmosphere and s…
