209. The Magnetic Origin of Chromospheric Moreton Waves

Contributed by Ze Zhong. Posted on March 21, 2025

Moreton waves were studied using a systematic survey of Moreton-wave events observed during the SDO era. The results showed that inclined magnetic configurations act as a wall, forcing eruptions and Moreton waves to propagate toward weaker magnetic fields.

150. Photospheric Oscillations in and around Active Region 11158, including the Polarity Inversion Line

To search for signatures of Alfvénic waves in the solar photosphere, the authors analyze the oscillation amplitudes, phases and time-distance behavior between different observables in a sunspot umbra, its polarity inversion line, and surrounding area.
