High-frequency Alfven waves in multi-ion coronal plasma : observational implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We investigate the effects of high-frequency (of order ion gyrofrequency) Alfvén and ion-cyclotron waves on ion emission lines by studying the dispersion of these waves in a multi-ion coronal plasma.

Solar Transient Events and their Importance for Coronal Heating

open access: yesScience Progress, 2004
Over the last decade, the uninterrupted high resolution coverage of the Sun both from the excellent range of telescopes aboard many spacecrafts and from ground-based instruments has led to a wealth of observations of small-scale dynamic events observed from the chromosphere to the transition region and corona.

ALFVÉN WAVE SOLAR MODEL (AWSoM): CORONAL HEATING [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
We present a new version of the Alfven Wave Solar Model (AWSoM), a global model from the upper chromosphere to the corona and the heliosphere. The coronal heating and solar wind acceleration are addressed with low-frequency Alfven wave turbulence. The injection of Alfven wave energy at the inner boundary is such that the Poynting flux is proportional ...

Photospheric magnetic vortex structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Using direct numerical magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, we demonstrate the evidence of two physically different types of vortex motions in the solar photosphere.

Research progress in coronal magnetic field measurements

open access: yes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 ...

A Cancellation Nanoflare Model for Solar Chromospheric and Coronal Heating [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2018
Abstract Nanoflare models for heating the solar corona usually assume magnetic braiding and reconnection as the source of the energy. However, recent observations at record spatial resolution from the Sunrise balloon mission suggest that photospheric magnetic flux cancellation is much more common than previously realized.

Steadiness of Coronal Heating

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The EUI instrument on the Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the most stable, high-resolution images of the solar corona from its orbit with a perihelion near 0.4 au.

Multifrequency Microwave Imaging of Weak Transients from the Quiet Solar Corona

open access: yesThe 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.
