Abstract The Chinese Hα Solar Explorer (CHASE), dubbed “Xihe”—Goddess of the Sun,
was launched on October 14, 2021 as the first solar space mission of China National Space …

Magnetic reconnection has been intensively studied in fully ionized plasmas. However,
plasmas are often partially ionized in astrophysical environments. The interactions between …

We present a homogeneous analysis of line and continuum emission from simultaneous
high-cadence spectra and photometry covering near-ultraviolet and optical wavelengths for …

Magnetic reconnection in the partially ionized solar chromosphere is studied in 2.5
dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations including radiative cooling and ambipolar …

Recent observations by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) have revealed
pockets of hot gas (∼ 2–8× 10 4 K) potentially resulting from magnetic reconnection in the …

Solid evidence of magnetic reconnection is rarely reported within sunspots, the darkest
regions with the strongest magnetic fields and lowest temperatures in the solar atmosphere …

We use high-resolution imaging spectroscopy with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST)
to study the transient brightenings of the wings of the Balmer Hα line in emerging active …

A spectacular manifestation of solar activity is the appearance of transient brightenings in
the far wings of the Hα line, known as Ellerman bombs (EBs). Recent observations obtained …

Abstract Using two-dimensional (2D) magnetohydrodynamic simulations we study the
effects of resistive processes in the dynamics of magnetic flux emergence and its relation to …

Ellerman bombs are short-lived brightenings of the outer wings of Hα that occur in active
regions with much flux emergence. We point out fads and fallacies in the extensive Ellerman …
