Wave heating of the solar atmosphere.
Magnetic waves are a relevant component in the dynamics of the solar atmosphere. Their significance has increased because of their potential as a remote diagnostic tool and their presumed contribution to plasma heating processes. We discuss our current understanding of coronal heating by magnetic waves, based on recent observational evidence and theoretical advances. The discussion starts with ...
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 کاملModels for magnetic heating of the solar atmosphere
Sustaining the hot solar corona requires an energy flux of up to about 10erg cm−2s−1 whose source must be the photospheric motions below. However, the precise way this energy is transferred and damped still remains an open question. Here a review of recent advances in theoretical models for coronal heating, in the light of the fundamental observational results of the last decade, will be
متن کاملAn Energy Release Mechanism of Current Loops in the Solar Atmosphere : Solar Flares and Corona Heating
A mechanism is proposed to account for the energy release by a bipolar current loop in the solar atmosphere. This mechanism is electromagnetic in nature and utilizes the non-zero J X B forces. No dissipation of the magnetic energy by resistivity, magnetic reconnection, or circuit interruption is required. From the observed fact that bipolar current loops do exist in quasi-equilibrium in the sol...
