Effects of ion magnetization on the Farley-Buneman instability in the solar chromosphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Intense heating in the quiet-Sun chromosphere raises the temperature from 4000 to 6500 K but, despite decades of study, the underlying mechanism remains a mystery.

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.

On the nature of the solar chromosphere

open access: yes, 2006
DOT high-resolution imagery suggests that only internetwork-spanning Hα “mottles” constitute the quiet-Sun chromosphere, whereas more upright network “straws” in “hedge rows” reflect transition-region ...

Peeling back the sun

open access: yes, 1999
Observations show that the Sun is not simply a ball of hot plasma but contains several discrete layers: the interior where the energy is generated is covered by the photosphere, the chromosphere and finally the corona.

Dynamics of fine structure in the solar chromosphere

open access: yes, 2006
This thesis is concerned with the dynamics of fine structure of the solar chromosphere and transition region, in both quiet sun and active regions. It contains six chapters of observational studies.

Structure and dynamics of the internetwork solar chromosphere: Results of a small-scale dynamo simulation

open access: yes
Context. The heating and structure of the solar chromosphere depends on the underlying magnetic field, among other parameters. The lowest magnetic flux of the solar atmosphere is found in the quiet Sun internetwork and is thought to be provided by the ...

Solar flux emergence : a three-dimensional numerical study

open access: yes, 2008
Flux is continually emerging on the Sun, making its way from the solar interior up into the atmosphere. Emergence occurs on small-scales in the quiet Sun where magnetic fragments emerge, interact and cancel and on large-scales in active regions where ...

Observation of a short-lived pattern in the solar chromosphere

open access: yes, 2006
Aims.In this work we investigate the dynamic behavior of inter-network regions of the solar chromosphere. Methods.We observed the chromosphere of the quiet Sun using a narrow-band Lyot filter centered at the $\ion{Ca}{ii}$ K2v emission peak with ...

The quiet sun chromospheric network observed from SKYLAB

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1976
The paper analyzes spectra of a supergranulation cell interior and cell boundary obtained near the solar center at wavelengths between 1200 and 1560 A with a normal-incidence spectrograph aboard Skylab. Absolute intensities, relative intensities, and profiles are given for selected optically thin and optically thick lines over the cell interior, the ...
