The Astropy Project: Building an inclusive, open-science project and status of the v2.0 core package

Adrian M. Price-Whelan, +135 more
TL;DR: The Astropy project as discussed by the authors is an open-source and openly developed Python packages that provide commonly-needed functionality to the astronomical community, including the core package Astropy, which serves as the foundation for more specialized projects and packages.

Imaging and Spectroscopic Observations of Magnetic Reconnection and Chromospheric Evaporation in a Solar Flare

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of a greatly redshifted (∼125 km s{sup -1} along the line of sight) Fe XXI 1354.08 emission line with a ∼100 km s−sup −1} nonthermal width at the reconnection site of a flare, which coincides spatially with the loop-top X-ray source observed by RHESSI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical experiments on fine structure within reconnecting current sheets in solar flares

TL;DR: In this paper, resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations are performed to study the internal structure of current sheets that form during solar eruptions, and a fluid stagnation point (S-point) in the sheet appeared where the reconnection outflow bifurcates.
