This page lists papers that have been suggested as being particularly interesting and appropriate for discussion in Solar Journal
Club. Since the purpose of the journal club is to discuss recent literature, this list contains titles newer than January, 2005. A
few older articles are included that have been suggested by faculty as being particulary important. The articles are listed in the
order they were suggested with the most recent additions at the top of each category. The date each article was suggested is in
brackets.
Note that Bibliographic Code Abbreviations are those used by the
Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysical Data System.
A list of references is also available. These have been suggested as useful
background readings for solar physics students.
