Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter

Spectropolarimetric Insight into Plasma-Sheet Dynamics of a Solar Flare

Intensity and polarization data surrounding the current sheet formed on Sept 10 2017

Dynamics of Late-Stage Reconnection in the 2017 September 10 Solar Flare

White light images (upper panels A and B) from HAO's KCOR instrument are shown with Fe XIII emission line polarization data (HAO's CoMP instrument) acquired one day after the initial flare was released

Mapping the magnetic field in the solar corona through magnetoseismology

Analysis results for the observation on November 3, 2016 (dataset D2)
