Solar Coronal Mass Ejections Plasma Diagnostics Expressed as Potential Stellar CME Signatures
Raymond, John C.; Wilson, Maurice L.
Solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have a strong association with solar flares that is not fully understood. This characteristic of our Sun's magnetic activity may also occur on other stars, but the lack of successfully detected stellar CMEs makes it difficult to perform statistical studies that might show a similar association between CMEs and f…
X-Raying the Dark Side of Venus—Scatter from Venus’ Magnetotail?
Weber, M.; Peres, G.; Reale, F. +3 more
We analyze significant X-ray, EUV, and UV emission coming from the dark side of Venus observed with Hinode/XRT and Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (SDO/AIA) during a transit across the solar disk that occurred in 2012. As a check we have analyzed an analogous Mercury transit that occurred in 2006. We have used the latest ve…
