Aditya-L1 Detects Iron Fluorescence on Sun During Massive Solar Flares, Says ISRO
India's Aditya-L1 mission has detected 'iron fluorescence' on the Sun during massive solar flares, as reported by ISRO. This phenomenon occurs when high-energy X-rays from solar flares interact with neutral iron atoms in the Sun's photosphere, causing them to emit characteristic X-ray fluorescence. The brightness of this fluorescence varies depending on the flare's position on the Sun's disk. These observations, published in the Solar Physics journal, may help researchers study solar flare dynamics and coronal X-ray sources.
