Ion Cyclotron Damping in the Solar Corona and Solar Wind
The solar corona is the hot, ionized outer atmosphere of the Sun. Coronal plasma expands into interplanetary space as a supersonic bulk outflow known as the solar wind. This tenuous and unbounded medium is a unique laboratory for the study of kinetic theory in a nearly collisionless plasma, as well as magnetohydrodynamic waves, shocks, and jets. Particle velocity distributions in the solar wind...
متن کاملOn ion-cyclotron-resonance heating of the corona and solar wind
This paper concisely summarizes and critically reviews recent work by the authors on models of the heating of the solar corona by resonance of ions with high-frequency waves (up to the proton cyclotron frequency). The quasilinear theory of pitch angle diffusion is presented in connection with relevant solar wind proton observations. Hybrid fluid-kinetic model equations, which include wave-parti...
متن کاملSolar Wind Electric Fields in the Ion Cyclotron Frequency Range
In earlier papers (Kellogg and Lin 1997, Kellogg 2000, Kellogg et al 2001) which attempted to understand what effects were responsible for the violation of the conservation of magnetic moment in the solar wind it was pointed out that electric fields in the range which would resonate with the ion cyclotron frequency have not been adequately investigated. In most spinning spacecraft, fields in th...
متن کاملOn Heating of Solar Corona and Acceleration of Low-Speed Solar Wind by Acoustic Waves Generated in Corona
We investigate possibilities of solar coronal heating by acoustic waves generated not at the photosphere but in the corona, aiming at heating in the midto low-latitude corona where the low-speed wind is expected to come from. Acoustic waves of period τ ∼ 100s are triggered by chromospheric reconnection, one model of small scale magnetic reconnection events recently proposed by Sturrock. These w...
متن کاملComposition Variations in the Solar Corona and Solar Wind
Order of magnitude variations in relative elemental abundances are observed in the solar corona and solar wind. The instruments aboard SOHO make it possible to explore these variations in detail to determine whether they arise near the solar surface or higher in the corona. A substantial enhancement of low First Ionization Potential (FIP) elements relative to high FIP elements is often seen in ...
