Capturing transient plasma flows and jets in the solar corona

چکیده
Intensity bursts in ultraviolet (UV) to X-ray wavelengths and plasma jets are typical signatures of magnetic reconnection the associated impulsive heating solar atmospheric plasma. To gain new insights into process, high-cadence observations required capture rapid response as well highly dynamic evolution jets. Here, we report first 2 s cadence extreme-UV recorded by 174 {\AA} High Resolution Imager Extreme Ultraviolet on board Solar Orbiter mission. These observations, covering a quiet-Sun coronal region, reveal onset localized events. sources then exhibit repeated eruptions or jet activity. Our show that this spatial morphological change from activity could occur rapidly timescales about 20 s. The themselves intermittent produced source region In initial phases these events, observed speeds, inferred propagating intensity disturbances, range 100 km s$^{-1}$ 150 s$^{-1}$. propagate lengths 5 Mm. We discuss examples bidirectional unidirectional have been initiated initially corona. transient nature flows along with their dynamics provide benchmark for models

Heating the solar corona by plasma loops
We investigate the heating of the corona via plasma loops. It is shown that it may be possible to maintain the high corona temperatures using plasma loops as conduits. Under certain conditions heat can flow across magnetic fields up temperature gradients, a mechanism that has been previously applied to the heating of plasma loops. A typical conduit loop is hotter than the ambient plasma in the ...
متن کاملPrimary Flows, the Solar Wind and the Corona
Based on the conjectured existence of primary solar emanations (plasma flows from the solar surface), a model for the Origin of the Fast Solar Wind, and the creation and heating of the coronal structures is developed. Preliminary results reproduce many of the salient observational features.
متن کاملThe origins of hot plasma in the solar corona.
The Sun's outer atmosphere, or corona, is heated to millions of degrees, considerably hotter than its surface or photosphere. Explanations for this enigma typically invoke the deposition in the corona of nonthermal energy generated by magnetoconvection. However, the coronal heating mechanism remains unknown. We used observations from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Hinode solar physics m...
متن کاملTurbulence in the Solar Corona
The solar corona has been revealed in the past decade to be a highly dynamic nonequilibrium plasma environment. Both the loop-filled coronal base and the extended acceleration region of the solar wind appear to be strongly turbulent, but direct observational evidence for a cascade of fluctuation energy from large to small scales is lacking. In this paper I will review the observations of waveli...
متن کاملPlasma Diagnostics of the Solar Corona Using Decimetric Radio Waves (review) 1. Solar and Stellar Coronae
The solar corona is a very dynamic plasma on time scales down to a few tens of microseconds. The various emissions at decimetric wavelength are brieey reviewed. Several of them seem to be caused by energetic (non-thermal) electrons accelerated in ares or are-like processes releasing free magnetic energy. The use of decimetric radiation as diagnostics of the acceleration process, the ambient pla...
