Solar coronal heating by relaxation events [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2003 A coronal heating model is proposed which predicts heating by a series of discrete events of various energies, analogous to the observed range of events from large scale flares through various transient brightening phenomena down to the often discussed "nanoflares".

EUV FLICKERING OF SOLAR CORONAL LOOPS: A NEW DIAGNOSTIC OF CORONAL HEATING [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016 ABSTRACT A previous work of ours found the best agreement between EUV light curves observed in an active region core (with evidence of super-hot plasma) and those predicted from a model with a random combination of many pulse-heated strands with a power-law energy distribution.

Research progress in coronal magnetic field measurements
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 Different solar atmospheric layers are connected by the magnetic field of the Sun, which is the primary source for various types of solar activity. The magnetic activity of the Sun has a significant impact on the solar-terrestrial environment and human ...

Solar Coronal Heating: AC versus DC
The Astrophysical Journal, 1997 The heating of the plasma confined in active regions of the solar corona is caused by the dissipation of magnetic stresses induced by the photospheric motions of the loop footpoints. The aim of the present paper is to analyze whether solar coronal heating is dominated by slow (DC) or rapid (AC) photospheric driving motions.

Multifrequency Microwave Imaging of Weak Transients from the Quiet Solar Corona
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Understanding the dynamics of the quiet solar corona is important for answering key questions including the coronal heating problem. Multiple studies have suggested small-scale magnetic-reconnection events may play a crucial role.

Coronal Heating & Solar Wind Acceleration by Drift Waves
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015 An alternative approach to the coronal heating problem, based on the theory of drift waves, has been proposed. The drift mode is the only mode that is able to survive the drastically different (collisional/collisionless) extremes in the different layers of the solar atmosphere. As a matter of fact, this mode is over stable, i.e.
