Signatures of Interchange Reconnection: STEREO, ACE and Hinode Observations Combined (2009)

Baker, D., Rouillard, A. P., Demoulin, P., Harra, L. K., Lavraud, B., ...

Changes in the solar magnetic field preceding a Coronal Mass Ejection (2007)

Harra Mullard Space, L. K. Harra

The combined observing power of the Yohkoh, SOHO and TRACE spacecrafts, along with the continuing ground-based observations has proved invaluable for the detection of changes in the magnetic...

L. McDonald (2007)

Lm Mssl Ucl, L. Mcdonald, J. L. Culhane, L. K. Harra

. X-ray bright points (XBPs) are usually assumed to be isolated structures in the solar atmosphere that are powered exclusively by magnetic reconnection. We analyse a large XBP that does not satisfy...

EUV emission lines and diagnostics observed with Hinode/EIS (2007)

Young, P. R., Del Zanna, G., Mason, H. E., Dere, K. P., Landi, E., Landini, M., ...

Quiet Sun and active region spectra from the Hinode/EIS instrument are presented, and the strongest lines from different temperature regions discussed. A list of emission lines recommended to be...

Culhane, J.L., Harra, L.K., James, A.M., Al-Janabi, K., Bradley, L.J., Chaudry, R.A., ...

The EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on Hinode will observe solar corona and upper transition region emission lines in the wavelength ranges 170 – 210 Å and 250 – 290 Å. The line centroid...

Coronal "wave": magnetic footprint of a coronal mass ejection? (2007)

Attrill, G.D.R., Harra, L.K., Démoulin, P.

We investigate the properties of two “classical” EUV Imaging Telescope (EIT) coronal waves. The two source regions of the associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) possess opposite helicities, and...

A multiple flare scenario where the classic long-duration flare was not the source of a CME (2007)

Goff, C.P., Démoulin, P., Culhane, J.L., Matthews, S.A., Harra, L.K., ...

A series of flares (GOES class M, M and C) and a CME were observed in close succession on 20 January 2004 in NOAA 10540. Radio observations, which took the form of types II, III and N bursts, were...

X-ray observations of solar long-duration flares (2005)

Phillips, K.J.H., Feldman, U., Harra, L.K.

Yohkoh X-ray observations during the several-hour decay of six large solar flares show that the main emitting region is in the form of a bright loop-top source whose spatial extent well after the...

Relating near-Earth observations of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection to the conditions at its site of origin in the solar corona (2005)

Fazakerley, A.N., Harra, L.K., Culhane, J.L., Lucek, E., Matthews, S.A., ...

A halo coronal mass ejection (CME) was detected on January 20, 2004. We use solar remote sensing data (SOHO, Culgoora) and near-Earth in situ data (Cluster) to identify the CME source event and show...

The Solar-B EUV imaging spectrometer and its science goals (2005)

Culhane, J.L., Harra, L.K., Doschek, G.A., Mariska, J.T., Watanabe, T., Hara, H.

The Solar-B mission includes an Extreme-UV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS). It detects photons in the ranges 170–210 and 250–290 Å which include emission lines from several highly ionised species...

A slow coronal mass ejection with rising X-ray source (2005)

Goff, C.P., Harra, L.K., Matthews, S.A., Mandrini, C.H.

An eruptive event, which occurred on 16th April 2002, is discussed. Using images from the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) at 195 Å, we observe a lifting flux rope which gives rise to...

The first observed stellar X-ray flare oscillation: Constraints on the flare loop length and the magnetic field (2005)

Mitra-Kraev, U., Harra, L. K., Williams, D. R., Kraev, E.

We present the first X-ray observation of an oscillation during a stellar flare. The flare occurred on the active M-type dwarf AT Mic and was observed with XMM-Newton. The soft X-ray light curve...

Relationship between X-ray and ultraviolet emission of flares from dMe stars observed by XMM-Newton (2004)

Mitra-Kraev, U., Harra, L. K., Guedel, M., Audard, M., Branduardi-Raymont, G., Kay, H. R. M., ...

We present simultaneous ultraviolet and X-ray observations of the dMe-type flaring stars AT Mic, AU Mic, EV Lac, UV Cet and YZ CMi obtained with the XMM-Newton observatory. During 40 hours of...

Relating magnetic field strengths to hard X-ray emission in solar flares (2004)

What causes solar active region loops to exist at transition region temperatures? (2004)

Harra, L.K., Mandrini, C.H., Matthews, S.A.

High-lying, dynamic loops have been observed at transition region temperatures since Skylab observations. The nature of these loops has been debated for many years with several explanations having...
