Modeling multiphase plasma in the corona: prominences and rain
Living Reviews in Solar PhysicsWe review major achievements in our understanding of multiphase coronal plasma, where cool-dense and hot-tenuous matter coexists, brought about by advances in modeling and theory, inspired by observations.

How Are the Abnormally Hot Chromosphere and Corona Heated by the Solar Magnetic Fields?
The Astrophysical JournalThe corona is a structure possessed by stars, including the Sun. The abnormal heating of the solar corona and chromosphere is one of the greatest mysteries in modern astronomy.

Steady-state Heating of Diffuse Coronal Plasma in a Solar Active Region
The Astrophysical JournalThe solar corona is much hotter than lower layers of the solar atmosphere—the photosphere and chromosphere. The coronal temperature is up to 1 MK in quiet Sun areas, while up to several megakelvins in active regions, which implies a key role of the ...

3D MHD Simulations of Coronal Loops Heated via Magnetic Braiding. I. Continuous Driving
The Astrophysical JournalThe nature and detailed properties of the heating of the million-degree solar corona are important issues that are still largely unresolved. Nanoflare heating might be dominant in active regions and quiet Sun, although direct signatures of such small ...

Turbulent resistive heating of solar coronal arches
The Astrophysical Journal, 1983 The possibility that coronal heating occurs by means of anomalous Joule heating by electrostatic ion cyclotron waves is examined, with consideration given to currents running from foot of a loop to the other. It is assumed that self-fields generated by the currents are absent and currents follow the direction of the magnetic field, allowing the plasma ...

Zone of Preferential Heating for Minor Ions in the Solar Wind
The Astrophysical JournalThe properties of minor ions in the solar wind are important indicators of the state of the solar corona and the heating processes it undergoes as it expands.

Modelling chromospheric evaporation in response to coronal heating [PDF]
, 2018 This thesis presents a new computationally efficient method for modelling the response of the solar corona to the release of energy. During impulsive heating events, the coronal temperature increases which leads to a downward heat flux into the ...

Five-minute Periodicities in the Population of Solar Coronal Brightenings
The Astrophysical JournalThe population of small-scale brightenings observed across broad regions of the quiet-Sun (QS) corona shows coherent strong periodicities of ≈5 minutes and amplitudes of 20% to 30% of the mean.
