Shortly after the seminal paper “Self-Organized Criticality: An explanation of 1/f noise” by
Bak et al.(1987), the idea has been applied to solar physics, in “Avalanches and the …

This review surveys the statistics of solar X-ray flares, emphasising the new views that
RHESSI has given us of the weaker events (the microflares). The new data reveal that these …

It turned out to be really a rare and happy occasion to know exactly when and how a new
branch of space physics was born, namely, a physics of solar cosmic rays. It happened on …

ABSTRACT A waiting-time distribution is constructed for 8 yr of solar flare hard X-ray bursts
observed by the ICE/ISEE 3 spacecraft. The observed distribution is compared with a …

We have investigated the peak flux distribution of 40 years of solar radio burst data as a
function of frequency and time over a wide range of frequencies. The bursts were reported …

Gross–Pitaevskii simulations of vortex avalanches in a neutron star superfluid are limited
computationally to≲ 102 vortices and≲ 102 avalanches, making it hard to study the long …

Assuming only that flares derive their energy from a coronal source and that flaring is the
dominant mechanism for depleting that source, the global coronal response time (time for …

The distributions of solar flare energies and waiting times have not been described
simultaneously by a single physical model, yet. In this research, we investigate whether …

Some models for flare statistics predict or assume that there is a relationship between the
times between flares and the energy of flares. This question is examined observationally …

Solar flares result from the sudden release of energy deposited by subphotospheric motions
into the magnetic field of the corona. The deposited energy accumulates secularly between …
