Adaptive optics is a prime example of how progress in observational astronomy can be
driven by technological developments. At many observatories it is now considered to be part …

We characterize the observational properties of the convectively driven vortex flows recently
discovered on the quiet Sun, using magnetograms, Dopplergrams, and images obtained …

On the basis of observations of solar granulation obtained with the New Solar Telescope of
Big Bear Solar Observatory, we explored proper motion of bright points (BPs) in a quiet-sun …

Spicules were recently found to exist as two different types when a new class of so-called
type II spicules was discovered at the solar limb with the Solar Optical Telescope on board …

The Sun's magnetic field is strongly structured over a broad range of scales. Magnetic
spatial power spectral analysis provides a powerful tool for understanding the various scales …

Data set acquired by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar
Dynamics Observatory (SDO) during 2010–2017 allowed us to classify active regions (ARs) …

We present results of 2 hr non-interrupted observations of solar granulation obtained under
excellent seeing conditions with the largest aperture ground-based solar telescope—the …

The 1.6-m New Solar Telescope (NST) has been used to observe the Sun for more than
three years with ever increasing capabilities as its commissioning phase winds down. The …

The solar surface is covered by high-speed jets transporting mass and energy into the solar
corona and feeding the solar wind. The most prominent of these jets have been known as …

Recent studies suggest that the magnetic switchbacks (SBs) detected by the Parker Solar
Probe carry information on the scales of solar supergranulation (large scale) and …
