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. 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

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.

No. 428, “Solar Hard X-rays with Insight,” by Wei WANG and Ping ZHANG. A spectacular limb flare introduces Insight/HXMT, a new high-energy observational resource.

No. 429, “Carl Størmer,” by Hugh HUDSON and Lyndsay FLETCHER. Størmer and the theory of particle trapping in magnetic loops.

No. 430, “Sun-as-a-star spectroscopic observations of the line-of-sight velocity of the solar eruption SOL2021-10-28T15:35,” by Yu XU and Hui TIAN. The observation of the full 3D velocity of a CME, for a RHESSI anniversary event.

No. 431, “Thermal/non-thermal with MinXSS and RHESSI,” by Shunsaku NAGASAWA. Time-domain studies of improved X-ray spectra reveal a “super-hot” component.
