A nearby dark molecular cloud in the Local Bubble revealed via H2 fluorescence
FIMS/SPEAR data
We briefly review the data collection and identification of the H2 lines. For this investigation, we have used data from the FIMS/SPEAR long-wavelength channel (L-channel; 1,350–1,710 Å), which includes several key transitions…

Landscape of Coronal X-Ray Variability and Cycles
Coronal (1–10 MK) X-rays display dramatic variability over the Sun’s iconic 11 yr magnetic dynamo cycle: already a factor of 4 in the soft 0.1–2.4 keV “ROSAT band,” soaring to more than 100 at harder energies (>10 keV). The high-energy…
