Solar Flare Observation Exposes Gaps in Models of How the Sun Heats Its Atmosphere
Key Takeaways
- DKIST captured unusually strong calcium II H and hydrogen-epsilon signals during the decline of a C-class solar flare.
- Researchers say current flare-heating models reproduce some features but fail to explain others.
- The finding could improve both solar physics and the study of flares on other stars.
