QUIET-SUN NETWORK BRIGHT POINT PHENOMENA WITH SIGMOIDAL SIGNATURES

Quiet Sun Brightenings -cell and Network Behaviour

Observations of the quiet Sun are made with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on board the SOHO spacecraft. We have investigated the diierences in characteristics of the cell and network regions. It has been found that the powerlaw distribution of energy (f(E) = f o E ?) is diierent in the cell and network regions, with the cell region having higher values of. This result is found irrespectiv...

Characteristics of Quiet Sun Cell and Network

Bright Points in the Inter - Network Quiet

High resolution G-band images of the interior of a supergranulation cell show ubiquitous Bright Points (some 0.3 BPs per Mm2). They are located in intergranular lanes and often form chains of elongated blobs whose smallest dimension is at the resolution limit (135 km on the Sun). Most of them live for a few minutes, having peak intensities from 0.8 to 1.8 times the mean photospheric intensity. ...

Characteristics of quiet Sun cell and network brightenings

Extreme ultraviolet observations of the quiet Sun are made with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (cds) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (soho). It has been previously noted that frequent transition region brightenings occur in both the bright network and dark cell regions. Analysing 1125 events, we determined the characteristics of the brightenings in the cell and network regi...

A study of the unification of quiet-Sun transient-event phenomena

A number of small-scale, globally distributed solar transient event-types have been reported in the literature. Their potential role in fundamental processes in the solar atmosphere, such as coronal heating and wind acceleration, is under active investigation. However, the event-types, such as those known as blinkers, explosive events, EUV (extreme-UV) network and cell brightenings, network fla...
