A Study of Small-Scale Brightenings using EUV Data from SPICE on board Solar Orbiter

Recently small-scale solar dynamic features have been observed on the Sun by Solar Orbiter/EUI (Berghmans et al. 2021; Panesar et al. 2021). These events (initially referred to as “campfires”) are small-scale heating events observed mainly in the solar corona. The Spectral Imaging of Coronal Environment (SPICE; SPICE Consortium et al. 2020) is a high-resolution imaging spectrometer that observes the Sun in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths. This study uses L2 SPICE data (calibrated images)  to characterize and follow the evolution of these small-scale brightenings. Additionally, we use HRIEUV 174 Å on board Solar Orbiter and Stereo A datasets to have a complementary view of small-scale brightenings during the study period.
