This event comes to you in association with our friends from PubhD Glasgow. The Sun: Solar Flares and Their Connection to Us: Solar flares are incredibly energetic events that we regularly observe in the Sun's atmosphere, releasing vast quantities of energy, heating the atmosphere. They could pose insight in the so-called "coronal heating problem": the Sun's atmosphere is more than 100 times hotter than its surface. Are events like solar flares behind this counterintuitive temperature difference? Furthermore, solar flares often…
