Energy release in the solar corona from spatially resolved magnetic braids
Solar observations at a resolution of 0.2 arc seconds show the reconnection and relaxation of magnetic braids in a coronal active region, leading to the dissipation of sufficient energy to heat the structures ...

Using a Chandra Source-Finding Algorithm to Automatically Identify Solar X-ray Bright Points
We describe adapting a method that is used to find point sources in Chandra X-ray telescope data for use in finding solar X-ray bright points. The algorithm allows selected pixels to be excluded from the source-f...

Analysis of Two Coronal Loops with Combined TRACE and SOHO/CDS Data
We use an innovative research technique to analyze combined images from the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (T...
