TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the response of the atmosphere to the solar eclipse on 20 March 2015 in the mid-latitude region of Czech Republic, and used join analysis using Digisonde vertical sounding, manually processed digisonde drift measurement, and continuous Doppler Sounding.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of the observations performed in the 21st June 2001 total solar eclipse were presented, looking for visible photons emitted through a possible radiative decay of solar neutrinos.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pure thermal broadening model was used to estimate the temperature of coronal Fe XIV emission lines from the NE quadrant during the 1973 solar eclipse, and an alternative interpretation of halfwidth as being in part due to turbulent velocities was suggested.
Abstract: Observations of coronal Fe XIV emission lines from the NE quadrant during the 1973 solar eclipse are reported. Temperatures are deduced from a pure thermal broadening model, and, in the region near an observed white-light enhancement, an alternative interpretation of halfwidth as being in part due to turbulent velocities is suggested.

TL;DR: In the early years of radio astronomy, solar eclipses played a critical role in establishing the sources of solar radio emissions as discussed by the authors, and Australia emerged as a leading nation in radio astronomy.
Abstract: In the early years of radio astronomy, solar eclipses played a critical role in establishing the sources of solar radio
emission. During the half decade from 1945, Australia emerged as a leading nation in radio astronomy, with most of
the observations made at sites that were concentrated in and around Sydney. Radio astronomy in the state of
Victoria was launched when a small group of Sydney scientists successfully observed the partial solar eclipse of
1948 November I from Rockbank, near Melbourne.

TL;DR: In this article, the first prediction of the ionospheric response to the 14 December 2020 solar eclipse using the SUPIM-INPE model was made for all known ionosonde stations for which solar obscuration is significant.
Abstract: We present the first prediction of the ionospheric response to the 14 December 2020 solar eclipse using the SUPIM‐INPE model. Simulations are made for all known ionosonde stations for which solar obscuration is significant. The found response is similar to that previously reported for other eclipses, but it also shows a modification of the equatorial fountain transport that will impact the low latitudes after the event. In addition to the large reduction of electron concentration along the totality path (~4.5 TECu, ~22%), a significant electron and oxygen ion temperature cooling is observed (up to ~400 K) followed by lasting temperature increases. Changes of up to ~1.5 TECu (~5%) are also expected at the conjugate hemisphere. These predictions may serve as a reference for eventual ionospheric measurements of multiple instruments and are leading to a better understanding of the ionospheric response to solar eclipses.
