The effects of Flare Definitions on the Statistics of Derived Flare Distributions.
(2016)The statistical examination of solar flares is crucial to revealing their global characteristics and behaviour. Such examinations can tackle large-scale science questions or give context to detailed single-event studies. ... -
Large-scale Bright Fronts in the Solar Corona: A Review of "EIT waves"
(2010)?EIT waves? are large-scale coronal bright fronts (CBFs) that were first observed in 195 ? images obtained using the Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). Commonly ... -
LOFAR Observations of Shocks in the Solar Corona
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)The Sun can produce large-scale energetic events such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which can excite shock waves that propagate from the low solar atmosphere into interplanetary space. Such shocks can result ... -
Magnetic Characteristics of Sunspot Groups and their Role in Producing Adverse Space Weather
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2019)The energy that powers solar flares is known to come from magnetic energy stored in sunspot groups, but the precise conditions required and processes involved in energy release remain unclear. The likelihood of ... -
Multiwavelength Observations of Solar Magnetic Phenomena and Particle Acceleration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2022)The solar magnetic field is instrumental in controlling the dynamics and topology of all coronal phenomena. The magnetic flux we observe varies by a factor of ~8 over a twenty-two year cycle causing a modulation in the ...
