Dr Adam J. Finley @adamfinley.bsky.social · 16/04/2026New paper day! Andy To et al. studied the elemental fractionation in coronal loops with FIPpy, comparing the First Ionisation Potential (FIP) effect produced in an initial VAL-C chromosphere versus a heated chromosphere following impulsive nanoflare-like events: arxiv.org/abs/2604.13174 130
Dr Adam J. Finley @adamfinley.bsky.social · 16/04/2026The FIP effect remained consistent between the two atmosphere profiles. However, changes to the acoustic flux and increases in choromspheric turbulence could suppress fractionation, leading to variability in the FIP effect within flaring loops. 000
