All Authors: Clara Froment and Sophie Masson

Abstract: We report the detection of thermal non-equilibrium (TNE) cycles in a pseudo-streamer observed with SDO/AIA. TNE is an ubiquitous mechanism in the solar atmosphere, especially in coronal loops. These evaporation and...

44. Scaling laws of coronal loops for a 3D MHD loop model driven self-consistently by magnetoconvection

All Authors: Cosima Breu

Abstract: A large part of the solar -and possibly stellar- corona is made up of closed magnetic loops containing hot and bright plasma. The exact physical mechanism leading to the heating of the plasma is still unclear. Numerous scaling laws have...

147. Does a Coronal Dimming Event Transform the Quiet Sun into a Region with Physical Properties of a Coronal Hole?

Adriana De-Sassi (ETH Zürich)

Poster

"Coronal dimmings, also called transient coronal holes, are well documented following eruptions (e.g. Veronig et al. 2025). Between 17 and 18 March 2022, a coordinated Solar Orbiter–Hinode–IRIS campaign monitored the formation of a coronal dimming following a filament eruption (Ngampoopun et al. 2023).
We investigate whether the eruption produced a coronal-hole-like behaviour in the initially...

46. Periodic and small-scale impulsive EUV emission enhancements along network loops

All Authors: H. Peter, S. Mandal, P. Chitta, L. Teriaca, Y. Chen, D. Calchetti

Abstract: Network loops are a common feature in the quiet Sun, and the processes sustaining their energy budget are still not fully understood. In this work, our aim is to find signatures of the heating...
