The SolarNuggets continue the earlier series of RHESSI Nuggets, and are now located at
https://heliowiki.smce.nasa.gov/wiki/index.php/SolarNuggets
No. 512, “Iron Flourescence in X-Class Flares” by Abhilash SARWADE: A new spectroscopic capability for Iron K-alpha flourescence radiation.
No. 513, “The M- and X-class White Light Flares in Super Active Region NOAA 13644/13697” by Zhichen JING and Ying Li: “Super” active regions have relatively more frequent X-class flares, which correlate well with visible continuum (white-light flare) emission.
No. 514, “Fine structures in solar flare ribbons” by Jonas THOEN FABER: Elongated “riblets” commonly rise out of flare ribbons, and have characteristic Doppler shifts.
No. 515, “On the relationship between nanoflare energy and delay in the closed solar corona” by Shanwlee SOW MONDAL et al: Nanoflaring implies energy storage and sudden release, suggesting correlation between event energy and its timing.
As always, we welcome new items and encourage opinion pieces and news items as well as descriptions of new discoveries. Just email Hugh Hudson with a page of news-oriented text and 2-3 nice figures.
