This study reports comprehensive observations for the G5-level geomagnetic storm that occurred from May 10 to 12, 2024, most intense event since 2003 Halloween storm. The was triggered by a series of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) originating merging two active regions 13664/13668, which formed large and complex photospheric magnetic configuration produced X-class flares in early 2024. Among events, significant CME, driven an X2.2 flare on 9, caught up with merged preceding slower CME...

Using the MHD coronal seismology technique, we estimated magnetic field for three spicules observed in 2008 June. For this study, used high resolution Ca II H line (<TEX>$3968.5\;{\AA}$</TEX>) images by Hinode SOT and considered a vertical thin flux tube as spicule model. To our knowledge, is first attempt to estimate using observation. From oscillation properties, determined periods, amplitudes, minimum wavelengths, wave speeds. We interpreted oscillations kink waves propagating through...
Abstract During transient events such as major solar eruptions, the plasma can be far from equilibrium ionization state because of rapid heating or cooling. Nonequilibrium (NEI) is important in rapidly evolving systems where thermodynamical timescale shorter than recombination timescales. We investigate effects NEI on EUV and X-ray observations by Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) board Solar Dynamic Observatory Telescope (XRT) Hinode . Our model assumes that initially at low temperature,...
The study of pores, small penumbraless sunspots, can give us a chance to understand how strong magnetic fields interact with convective motions in the photosphere. For better understanding this interaction, we investigate temporal variation several tiny pores smaller than 2''. These were observed by Solar Optical Telescope on board Hinode 2006 December 29. We have analyzed high-resolution spectropolarimetric (SP) data and G-band filtergrams taken during observation. Magnetic flux density...
Abstract Many solar prominences end their lives in eruptions or abrupt disappearances that are associated with dynamical thermal instabilities. Such instabilities important because they may be responsible for energy transport and conversion. We present a clear observation of streaming kink-mode Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability (KHI) taking place prominence using the H α Lyot filter installed at New Vacuum Solar Telescope, Fuxian-lake Observatory Yunnan, China. On one side prominence, series...

X-ray plasma ejections often occurred around the impulsive phases of solar flares and have been well observed by SXT aboard Yohkoh. Though show various morphological shapes, there has no attempt at classifying groups for a large sample ejections. In this study, we classified 137 according to their shape first time. Our classification criteria are as follows: (1) loop type shows ejecting with loops, (2) spray continuous stream without showing any typical shape, (3) jet collimated motions...
