A new paradigm for solar coronal heating

EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2009
The solar coronal heating problem refers to the question why the temperature of the Sun's corona is more than two orders of magnitude higher than that of its surface. Almost 70 years after the discovery, this puzzle is still one of the major challenges in astrophysics.

Solar cycle dependence of scaling in solar wind fluctuations [PDF]

, 2008
In this review we collate recent results for the statistical scaling properties of fluctuations in the solar wind with a view to synthesizing two descriptions: that of evolving MHD turbulence and that of a scaling signature of coronal origin that ...

Dominance of Bursty over Steady Heating of the 4–8 MK Coronal Plasma in a Solar Active Region: Quantification Using Maps of Minimum, Maximum, and Average Brightness

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022
A challenge in characterizing active region (AR) coronal heating is in separating transient (bursty) loop heating from the diffuse background (steady) heating.

From Coronal Holes to Pulsars and Back Again: Learning the Importance of Data

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Although wanting to become an astronomer from an early age, I ended up in solar physics purely by chance, after first working in high-energy astrophysics.

The Staircase Chart: Visualising Vertical and Cross‐Shelf Movements and Dispersal of Early‐Life Fish, Applied to Japanese Jack Mackerel

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dispersal during early life stages is a critical process shaping marine fish connectivity and population dynamics, yet direct field observations at the individual level remain elusive. This has limited our understanding of the factors controlling dispersal, including the impact of active swimming by larvae and juveniles. Here, we present a new

Investigating Alfvénic wave propagation in coronal open-field regions

, 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.

Multi-scale energy release events in the quiet Sun: a possible source for coronal heating

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The coronal heating problem remains one of the most challenging questions in solar physics. The energy driving coronal heating is widely understood to be associated with convective motions below the photosphere. Recent high-resolution observations reveal

Short‐term performance responses of an intertidal fish to sedimentation and warming

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is altering coastal ecosystems by causing environmental fluctuations, such as increases in temperature and turbidity, which pose major implications for fish physiology and behaviour. Increases in temperature affect fish food intake, swimming capacity and oxygen delivery, while increases in turbidity can impair or enhance prey ...

Coronal Heating and the Solar Wind Acceleration [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001
We propose a coronal heating theory based on the magnetic twisting, which inevitably produces charge imbalance. The resulting electric field creates supra-thermal electron beams. Beams are then thermalized by classical collisions. The dissipation rate is enough to heat the corona and to accelerate the solar wind.

Small scale energy release driven by supergranular flows on the quiet Sun [PDF]

, 2007
In this article we present data and modelling for the quiet Sun that strongly suggest a ubiquitous small-scale atmospheric heating mechanism that is driven solely by converging supergranular flows. A possible energy source for such events is the power
