RHESSI Nuggets in February 2023

No. 444, “The curious first sunquake of Solar Cycle 25,” by Alexander KOSOVICHEV. A double whammy: two distinct sunquakes from SOL2022-05-10.

No. 445, “Particle acceleration in two coronal jets,” by Yixian ZHANG, Coronal jets with hard X-ray sources at disjoint locations.

We welcome almost any contribution to the RHESSI Nuggets. The topic may wander some distance away from specifically RHESSI results if it is generally interesting. See http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/wiki/index.php/RHESSI_Science_Nuggets for these and others. Comments about specific flares can often be found by searching for their SOLyyyy-mm-dd identifier from this home page.… continue to the full article

126. Successive interacting coronal mass ejections: How to create a perfect storm?

Magnetic reconnection in CME-CME interactions modulates their magnetic flux content and resultant geo-effectiveness.

RHESSI Science Nuggets in October 2022

No. 438, “Effects of Coronal Structures on the Dynamics of the Global Coronal Wave of SOL2017-09-10‎,” by Huidong HU et al.: The amazing global coronal wave of SOL2017-09-10 wrapped around the whole Sun, and displayed transmission and reflection at both polar coronal holes.

No. 439, “A Significant Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance Associated with a Massive Gamma-ray Burst”, by Laura HAYES and Peter GALLAGHER: A first SID observed in broad daylight, from a source far far away.

We welcome contributions to the RHESSI Nuggets, and the topics may wander some distance away from specifically RHESSI results if they are generally interesting.

RHESSI Nuggets in September 2022

No. 437, “KW-Sun: The Konus-Wind Solar Flare Database in Hard X-Ray and Soft Gamma-Ray Ranges,” by Alexandra LYSENKO: An unrivaled hard X-ray and gamma-ray database is entering its third activity maximum.

No. 436, “First Detection of Kink Oscillations with Solar Orbiter,” by Sihui ZHONG et al.: SolO sees coronal oscillations as well as AIA can, and even better.

No. 435, “Energetic Neutral Hydrogen from Large Solar Flares,” by Glenn MASON: A rediscovered data treasury reveals the occurrence of many flare/CME events producing solar high-energy neutral atoms.

RHESSI Nuggets in July 2022

No. 432, “Undetected Minority-polarity Flux, Moss, and Coronal Heating,” by Yi-Ming WANG. There’s plenty of room in “unipolar” active regions for both polarities, and there is good evidence for them.

No. 433, “Fast Prograde Flows in Solar Active Regions,” by Hugh HUDSON. Unexpected, unpredicted, and not modeled yet – weird flows in hot active-region loops.
