    Multiwavelength Observations of Substructures in Solar Flare Ribbons

    Abstract Solar flare ribbons are extensive brightenings in the chromosphere during flares, often showing fine-scale structuring that reflects the underlying energy release. Using high-cadence imaging from the Swedish 1 m Solar Telescope/CRISP during an X1.5-class limb flare on 20...
