Instrument: SOT
HOP/JOP: 91
Description:
The quiet Sun is very dynamic. SXT on Yohkoh dicovered continuous and ubiquitous flaring activity above the phostospheric network and in bright points. We intend to perform a statistical studies of the physical properties of these quiet Sun nanoflares (also known as network flares), investigating frequency, brightness, temperature and luminosity distributions, as well as the structure of the photospheric magnetic field at the nanoflaring sites. TOO for quiet Sun near disk center.
