Abstract
The frequency and rate of solar nanoflares (NF) were measured in 6 coronal spectral ranges (094, 131, 171, 193, 211, 335 Å) and one, related to the transition layer (304 Å). We used SDO/AIA data obtained at solar minimum in May 2019. We analyzed the same region of the Sun, covering \(360\text{\textquotedblleft} \times 720\text{\textquotedblleft}\) field-of-view, in all channels over the same time interval of 1 hour. In all the spectral bands, to search for NF we applied the same algorithm based on the amplitude analysis of fast brightenings in AIA images. The frequency and rate of NF, as can be expected, vary significantly in different wavelengths. For threshold \(5\sigma \), the highest NF frequency, 207 c–1, was measured in 171 Å. The next spectral ranges are 193 Å (85% of 171 channnel), 211 Å (74%), and 131 Å (63%). We have not been able to reliably measure the frequency in channels 094 Å, and 335 Å, but found that it is less than 15% of the frequency in channel 171 Å. In the 304 Å channel, we found a large number of brightenings that do not match any coronal events. However, about 40% of NF in corona have a counterpart in the 304 Å line with an amplitude higher than \(5\sigma \).
