The Transparency of Solar Coronal Active Regions
Resonance scattering has often been invoked to explain the disagreement between the observed and predicted line ratios of Fe XVII λ15.01 to Fe XVII λ15.26 (the “3C/3D” ratio). In this process photons of λ15.01, with its much higher oscillator strength, are preferentially scattered out of the line of sight, thus reducing the observed line ratio. Recent laboratory measurements, however, have foun...
متن کاملMechanisms of Solar Coronal Heating
A major problem in astrophysical plasma physics is to explain how the outer atmosphere, the corona, ofthe sun is heated to temperatures of millions of degrees Kelvin. It is accepted that the heating mechanism is magnetic, with the energy source being turbulent motions below the solar surface. Two classes of theory are proposed, according to the timescale of the driving motions in relation to th...
متن کاملAnomalous Coronal Neon Abundances in Quiescent Solar Active Regions
The systematic di†erences between the solar photospheric and coronal composition are generally thought to be related to the Ðrst ionization potential (FIP) of the trace elements. While there are ample data showing that this is a signiÐcant factor, there is a growing body of observational evidence that a simple, FIP-based formula is not the whole story for coronal abundances. One of the most tro...
متن کاملNonlinear wave heating of solar coronal loops
Theheating ofmagnetically 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 the nonlinearity on the efficiency of the re...
متن کاملCoronal Heating versus Solar Wind Acceleration
Parker’s initial insights from 1958 provided a key causal link between the heating of the solar corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. However, we still do not know what fraction of the solar wind’s mass, momentum, and energy flux is driven by Parker-type gas pressure gradients, and what fraction is driven by, e.g., wave-particle interactions or turbulence. SOHO has been pivotal in brin...
