A Unified Picture of Swirl-driven Solar Coronal Heating: Magnetic Energy Supply and Dissipation
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe coronal heating problem is one of the most critical challenges in solar physics. Recent observations have revealed that small-scale swirls are ubiquitous in the photosphere and chromosphere, suggesting that they may play a significant role in ...

The Uniturbulence and Alfvén Wave Solar Model (UAWSoM) in MPI-AMRVAC
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The coronal heating problem and the generation of the solar wind remain fundamental challenges in solar physics. While approaches based on, e.g., the Alfvén Wave Solar Model (AWSoM) have proven highly successful in reproducing the large-scale ...

Reduced Thermal Conduction in Solar Coronal Loops
The Astrophysical JournalThermal conduction plays an important role in the energy balance of the solar coronal plasma. In this paper, we present a new method for deriving observational constraints on the density–temperature relationship for coronal loops from the differential ...

Thread Separation and Expansion Observed in Multistranded Solar Coronal Loops
The Astrophysical JournalThe theoretical expectation that coronal loops should expand with height contrasts with observations that typically show constant cross sections. We investigate the idea that this discrepancy results from loops being composed of fine threads whose ...

Research Progress on Solar Supergranulation: Observations, Theories, and Numerical Simulations
UniverseSolar supergranulation is a large-scale convective structure on the solar surface, whose formation mechanism and dynamical properties are closely related to key physical processes such as solar magnetic field evolution, coronal heating, and solar wind ...

Measurements of the Perpendicular Correlation Length of Coronal Alfvénic Waves with DKIST
The Astrophysical JournalWe have measured the perpendicular correlation length L _⊥ of Alfvénic waves in the corona using data from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) Cryogenic Near Infrared Spectropolarimeter (Cryo-NIRSP) instrument.

Wave propagation, phase mixing and dissipation in Hall MHD [PDF]
, 2012 In this thesis the effect of the Hall term in the generalised Ohm’s law on Alfvén (shear) and fast wave propagation and dissipation in the ion cyclotron frequency range is investigated.

The Astrophysical JournalWe report seven examples of a long-ignored type of confined solar flare eruption that does not fit the standard model for confined flare eruptions. Because they are confined eruptions, do not fit the standard model, and unexpectedly erupt in ostensibly ...

Multiple Episodes of Remote Brightenings Driven by a Coronal Extreme-ultraviolet Jet on the Sun
The Astrophysical JournalRemote brightening (RB) is compact brightening at footpoints of magnetic loops, which are remotely connecting to and confining an eruption in the solar atmosphere.

Coronal Heating versus Solar Wind Acceleration
, 2004 Parker's initial insights from 1958 provided a key causal link between the heating of the solar corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. However, we still do not know what fraction of the solar wind's mass, momentum, and energy flux is driven by Parker-type gas pressure gradients, and what fraction is driven by, e.g., wave-particle interactions ...
