IRIS active region burst papers


Bursts are short-lived, intense brightenings seen in the Si IV emission lines observed by IRIS. Here I list papers that have presented studies of IRIS bursts. Note that the authors often use different terminology such as bombs or explosive events.

The notation for the observation type is as follows: observations can either be sit-and-stare (SNS) or rasters (Rast). For the former, the exposure time in seconds is given in brackets. For the latter, the notation "400,D,4s" indicates a 400-step, dense (D) raster, with 4-second exposure times. Rasters can be either dense (D; 0.33" step size) or sparse (S; 1" step size).
