SUNRISE III: Overview of Observatory and Instruments
In July 2024, SUNRISE completed its third successful science flight. The SUNRISE III observatory had been upgraded significantly after the two previous...
SUNRISE/IMaX Observations of Convectively Driven Vortex Flows in the Sun
We characterize the observational properties of the convectively driven vortex flows recently discovered on the quiet Sun, using magnetograms, Dopplergrams, and...
SUNRISE: High resolution UV/VIS observations of the sun from the stratosphere
SUNRISE is an international project for the development, construction and operation of a balloon-borne solar telescope with an aperture of 1 m, working in the...
SUNRISE: Instrument, Mission, Data, and First Results
The SUNRISE balloon-borne solar observatory consists of a 1 m aperture Gregory telescope, a UV filter imager, an imaging vector polarimeter, an image...
Sunshine, Earthshine and Climate Change: II. Solar Origins of Variations in the Earth's Albedo
There are terrestrial signatures of the solar activity cycle in ice core data (Ram & Stoltz 1999), but the variations in the sun's irradiance over the cycle...
Sunspot activity curves and intermittent chaotic behavior.
The authors analyze the statistical properties of observed sunspot numbers. Near the Maunder minimum, the dynamics of successive sunspot maxima is low...
Sunspot irradiance deficit, facular excess, and the energy balance of solar active regions.
Plage areas and intensities derived from CaIIK spectroheliograms are used as a proxy for the facular irradiance excess of solar active regions for the period 19...
