Solar Flare Observation Exposes Gaps in Models of How the Sun Heats Its Atmosphere
Observations from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured unusually strong calcium and hydrogen signatures in the fading stage of a solar flare, giving researchers a rare high-resolution look at behavior current fl
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.
