Observing oscillations, flares and tornados on the sun

The balloon-borne solar observatory Sunrise III conducted a six-and-a-half-day stratospheric flight from Sweden to Canada’s Northwest Territories in July 2024, collecting over 200 terabytes of data. This mission provided unprecedented detail on the sun’s photosphere and chromosphere, focusing on dynamic phenomena such as oscillations, flares, and magnetic activity. The data revealed new insights into solar turbulence, wave propagation, and the mechanisms behind solar eruptions. A review article summarizing the mission’s initial findings was published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, marking the beginning of a special focus issue dedicated to Sunrise III results. Researchers highlighted the significance of these observations in understanding both the quiet and active states of the sun.
