The entries for February 2025 are as follows:
No. 487, “From Chromospheric Evaporation to Coronal Rain: An Investigation of the Mass and Energy Cycle of a Flare,” by Seray ŞAHIN and Patrick ANTOLIN: a first quantitativie comparison of flare evaporation and coronal rain.
No. 488, “Solar Gamma-Ray Evidence for a Distinct Population of MeV Flare-accelerated Electrons,” by Gerry SHARE: relativistic electrons in solar flares are newly recognized as a distinct process.
No. 489, “New insights into the proton precipitation sites in solar flares,” by Andrea Francesco BATTAGLIA and Säm KRUCKER: there is no detectable difference in proton and electron footpoint locations after all.
