Playing around with polarized light coronagraph observations with @s0larish to measure line of sight distances and velocities of solar eruptions. This is prototype software, but its getting there #spaceweather

For LaTeX users writing #Solar & #Heliospheric science papers πŸ“œ I made a page for instrument citations: middlecorona.com/notthemiddl… It may be useful, if you want me to add an instrument πŸ›°οΈπŸ›°οΈ, or make a change (apologies for errors) then let me know. I do this on a best effort basis.

This is a great opportunity for somebody (like me) who really likes do geek out over data in my former group at NOAA NCEI. If you are a heliophysicist who wants to be part of an awesome team in Boulder, check this out: usajobs.gov/job/692920400

A continuous solar wind escapes from our Sun – a stream of plasma, or electrified gas, that fills interplanetary space. But did you know the solar wind comes in two different speeds? πŸ€”

Excited to share this new paper that shows how the structure of the solar wind is born in the #MiddleCorona!
Using detailed observations and advanced MHD simulations, authors @MPSGoettingen find that a coronal web above a region of coronal holes and active regions dynamically evolves and persistently drives the highly structured slow solar wind. Chitta et al.: nature.com/articles/s41550-0…

A lot of my work on the #MiddleCorona was the result of discoveries we made with SWAP. Seeing them al together on one place really highlights how great SWAP was (and is!) especially for an instrument the size of a shoebox!

We worked really hard on this paper. We also presented a bit of it at #TESS2022 (e.g., in @dbseaton's talk) and the audience was really enthusiastic. Check it out!
Here’s very some exciting news: Our working draft of a paper defining the #MiddleCorona is out and available for the world! arxiv.org/abs/2208.04485

I helped with this paper! It is my first poly-author paper, and the first thing I really feel like I "collaborated" on. How exciting! Check it out. :)

I should have included a link. You don't need to be a scientist or have any special expertise at all to work (or play) with solar image data anymore. Anybody who is interested can download #jHelioviewer, pick some data, and have a look! jhelioviewer.org

Love seeing the #MiddleCorona featured in Spheres!
The 2022 edition of CIRES' Spheres magazine is out! Explore recent work around wildfire’s impact, space-weather forecasting, the possibility of climate intervention, how to use cartoon characters to engage hikers with field research, & more. Read on: cires.colorado.edu/news/cire…

We made it to the cover! Congratulations to the team led by Chengcai Shen!
Our March issue is now available to read! nature.com/natastron/volumes… The lava-lamp-esque cover comes courtesy of Chengcai Shen, and shows finger-like plasma downflows in a solar flare.
