Solar coronal heating by magnetosonic waves

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2001
Solar coronal heating by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves is investigated. ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray emission lines of the corona show non-thermal broadenings. The wave rms velocities inferred from these observations are of the order of 25–60 km s−1. Assuming that these values are not negligible, we solved MHD equations in a quasi-linear approximation,

Solar coronal heating by plasma waves

Journal of Plasma Physics, 2009
AbstractThe solar coronal plasma is maintained at temperatures of millions of degrees, much hotter than the photosphere, which is at a temperature of just 6000 K. In this paper, the plasma particle heating based on the kinetic theory of wave–particle interactions involving kinetic Alfvén waves and lower-hybrid drift modes is presented.

Alfvén waves in the solar polar coronal holes

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1999
We study the variation of the line width and electron density as a function of height above two coronal holes from forbidden spectral lines of Si VIII. The spectra were obtained with the Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation spectrometer flown on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft.

Solar Coronal Heating via Alfvén Wave Turbulence

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
A short review is given about the self‐consistent MHD model of solar coronal heating recently proposed by Bigot et al. (2008) in which the dynamical effect of the background magnetic field along a coronal structure is taken into account through exact results from Alfven wave turbulence.

Coronal heating and solar activity: The role of waves

Advances in Space Research, 1993
Abstract Coronal heating and solar activity are manifestations of the complex interaction between the magnetic field and the photospheric plasma motions. As a result of such an interaction magnetohydrodynamic waves are generated: their dissipation may provide the basic physical mechanism to heat the corona.

Solar coronal heating by high-frequency dispersive Alfvén waves

Solar Physics, 1999
It is shown that high-frequency dispersive kinetic Alfven waves can cause significant electron heating in the solar corona. The heating is produced by collisionless electron Landau dissipation of the parallel electron current associated with high-frequency dispersive kinetic Alfven waves, which have a parallel electric field.

Nonlinear wave heating of solar coronal loops.

Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1997
The heating of magnetically closed structures (loops) in the solar corona by the resonant absorption of incident waves is studied by means of numerical simulations in the framework of nonlinear resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). It is shown that the dynamics in the resonant layer is indeed very nonlinear for typical coronal parameters. The effect of

Observational Research on Solar Coronal Waves.

1976
Abstract : An observational search has been made for intensity fluctuations associated with the wave motions that are thought to heat the corona. Brightness changes in the coronal green line (Fe XIV lambda 5303) and the coronal continuum were measured with the University of Hawaii's polarimeter at Mt. Haleakala.
