Solar off - limb line widths : Alfvén waves , ion - cyclotron waves , and preferential heating
Context. Alfvén waves and ion-cyclotron absorption of high-frequency waves are frequently brought into models devoted to coronal heating and fast solar-wind acceleration. Signatures of ion-cyclotron resonance have already been observed in situ in the solar wind (HELIOS spacecrafts) and, recently, in the upper corona (UVCS/SOHO remote-sensing results). Aims. We propose a method to constrain both...
متن کاملIon 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 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 کاملHot solar-wind helium: direct evidence for local heating by Alfvén-cyclotron dissipation.
A study of solar-wind hydrogen and helium temperature observations collected by the Wind spacecraft offers compelling evidence of heating by an Alfvén-cyclotron dissipation mechanism. Observations are sorted by the rate of Coulomb interactions, or collisional age, in the plasma and the differential flow between the two species. We show that helium is preferentially heated perpendicular to the m...
متن کاملAlfven Cyclotron Instability and Ion Cyclotron Emission
Two-dimensional solutions of compressional Alfven eigenmodes (CAE) are studied in the cold plasma approximation. For finite inverse aspect ratio tokamak plasmas the two-dimensional eigenmode envelope is localized at the low magnetic field side with the radial and poloidal localization on the order of u / f i and u/*, respectively, where rn is the dominant poloidal mode number. Charged fusion pr...
