We trace the evolution of research on extreme solar and solar-terrestrial events from the
1859 Carrington event to the rapid development of the last twenty years. Our focus is on the …

The phenomenon of quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) in solar and stellar flares has been
known for over 50 years and significant progress has been made in this research area. It has …

Solar energetic particles, or SEPs, from suprathermal (few keV) up to relativistic (∼∼ few
GeV) energies are accelerated near the Sun in at least two ways:(1) by magnetic …

Solar flares are often accompanied by filament/prominence eruptions (~ 104 K and~ 1010−
11 cm− 3), sometimes leading to coronal mass ejections that directly affect the Earth's …

ABSTRACT A homogeneous search for stellar flares has been performed using every
available Kepler light curve. An iterative light curve de-trending approach was used to filter …

The search for life in the Universe is a fundamental problem of astrobiology and modern
science. The current progress in the detection of terrestrial-type exoplanets has opened a …

The first self-consistent simulations of electron acceleration during magnetic reconnection in
a macroscale system are presented. Consistent with solar flare observations, the spectra of …

After decades of observations of solar energetic particles from space-based observatories,
relevant questions on particle injection, transport, and acceleration remain open. To address …

Solar flares are observed at all wavelengths from decameter radio waves to gamma-rays
beyond 1 GeV. This review focuses on recent observations in EUV, soft and hard X-rays …

Solar eruptions are spectacular magnetic explosions in the Sun's corona, and how they are
initiated remains unclear. Prevailing theories often rely on special magnetic topologies that …
