BOOM! I haven't see anybody share this yet, so here's last week's X-class solar flare, as observed by the NASA IRIS mission. Look at those beautiful flare ribbons! #spaceweather ARCHIVED - NASA Sun & Space

A great week of hybrid in-person/online discussions at International Space Science Institute (ISSI) on the measurement of flare hard X-ray directivity using stereoscopic observations with ESA's Solar Orbiter STIX X-ray Telescope and Earth based X-ray instrumentation led by Natasha Jeffrey and Säm Krucker 🛰️🌞🛰️

Want to learn more about STIX X-ray Telescope onboard ESA's Solar Orbiter ? Here's a new book chapter on arXiv.org about STIX that will be published in the Handbook of X-ray and Gamma-ray Astrophysics later this year 🌞🛰️🩻 arxiv.org/abs/2207.02079

Lots of great discussions of high-energy solar physics at the hybrid SPHERE workshop last week! 🌞🩻🛰️if you missed it, the slides and recordings of the week are available on the website 👉sphere.boulder.swri.edu/presentations/

Check out this new paper from Paolo Massa for a first look at imaging solar flares with Solar Orbiter's STIX!

Lots of nice activity on the Sun over the past week - the large active region AR 13099 is now in the ESA's Solar Orbiter field of view! Very large post-flare arcade loops can be seen in both SDO/AIA and the EUI telescope.

Having a blast here at La Palma flare hunting with the Swedish Solar Telescope - fingers crossed for an X class flare co-observed by Solar Orbiter's STIX!!

Absolutely insane filament eruption caught by SUVI last night! #spaceweather

I'm presenting my work on quasi periodic pulsations in solar flares observed by STIX onboard Solar Orbiter online at #AGU22 in just under 45 minutes! You can also find my iPoster online for the duration of the conference🌞🛰️

Applications for the LEAPS summer program are now open for undergraduate/master (pre-phd) students! Interested on working on solar activity with ESA's Solar Orbiter observations with Sophie Musset, @MihoJnvr, Chris Nelson and myself at ESA Science? apply now🌞 leaps.strw.leidenuniv.nl/#none

Happy to announce that my first first author paper on 'Characterising fast-time variations in HXR flare profiles with STIX' has been accepted by A&A and is now available on arXiv!🌟🌞 arxiv.org/abs/2301.08040

Lots of X-ray flares! Check out this movie showing all the large(ish) flares observed with the STIX X-ray Telescope instrument on-board ESA's Solar Orbiter since Jan 2021 as it makes its orbit around the Sun 🌞〰️🛰️ size of circle = relative size of flare made with The SunPy Project Matplotlib

Had fun two weeks visiting European Space Agency and @astron. Great science discussions using Solar Orbiter, LOFAR with Laura A. Hayes , Hannah Collier , Pietro Zucca and Sophie Musset.

I was delighted to receive the Jean-Marie Palau award for the best student paper at RADECS 2023 today! Our study focuses on energetic particle contamination in STIX X-ray Telescope onboard ESA's Solar Orbiter. Thank you to the conference organisers for a great week full of interesting talks!

Our paper on localising pulsations in the hard X-ray and microwave emission of an X-class flare is now available on arxiv! arxiv.org/abs/2402.10546

I had a very nice experience presenting our work on short exposure observations of flares with EUI onboard Solar Orbiter at the EclipseSA meeting yesterday! The solar eclipse was also pretty cool 🌞🌕
