Rotational Characteristics of the Solar Transition Region Using SDO/AIA 304 Å Images
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 To date, the rotational characteristics of the solar transition region remain unclear. In this work, by applying the flux modulation method to the images derived from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly between 2011 and 2022 at ...

Ionisation in the Solar Chromosphere [PDF]
Nature, 1920 IT is well known that the spectrum of the upper layers of the solar chromosphere is chiefly composed of those lines which are relatively more strengthened in the spark than in the arc, and which Sir Norman Lockyer originally styled enhanced lines. The best-known examples are the calcium H and K and the strontium pair (4216, 4077).

MHD turbulence and heating of the open field-line solar corona [PDF]
, 2003 This paper discusses the possibility that heating of the solar corona in open field-line regions emanating from coronal holes is due to a nonlinear cascade, driven by low-frequency or quasi-static magnetohydrodynamic fluctuations.

Propagating and Stationary Bright Knots in the Quiet Sun
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 The question of what heats the solar chromosphere and corona remains one of the most important puzzles in solar physics and astrophysics. Up to now, two mechanisms are considered to work in heating the chromosphere and corona: magnetic reconnection and ...

Investigating Alfvénic wave propagation in coronal open-field regions [PDF]
, 2015 The physical mechanisms behind accelerating solar and stellar winds are a long-standing astrophysical mystery, although recent breakthroughs have come from models invoking the turbulent dissipation of Alfvén waves.

The influence of the magnetic field on running penumbral waves in the solar chromosphere [PDF]
, 2013 We use images of high spatial and temporal resolution, obtained using both ground- and space-based instrumentation, to investigate the role magnetic field inclination angles play in the propagation characteristics of running penumbral waves in the solar ...

Photospheric magnetic vortex structures [PDF]
, 2011 Using direct numerical magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, we demonstrate the evidence of two physically different types of vortex motions in the solar photosphere.

Magnetoacoustic Heating of the Solar Chromosphere
The Astrophysical Journal, 1991 Long-period acoustic waves generated in the solar convection zone can propagate radially outward through the overlying atmosphere and get resonantly absorbed in the magnetic arches of the low-lying chromospheric canopy. The resulting Poynting and acoustic flux that enters the magnetic canopy in the network regions is demonstrated to be adequate to ...

Collisional dissipation of Alfvén waves in a partially ionised solar chromosphere [PDF]
, 2005 Certain regions of the solar atmosphere are at sufficiently low temperatures to be only partially ionised. The lower chromosphere contains neutral atoms, the existence of which greatly increases the efficiency of the damping of waves due to collisional ...
