Observing the Roots of Solar Coronal Heating - in the Chromosphere
The Sun’s corona is millions of degrees hotter than its 5,000 K photosphere. This heating enigma is typically addressed by invoking the deposition at coronal heights of non-thermal energy generated by the interplay between convection and magnetic field near the photosphere. However, it remains unclear how and where coronal heating occurs and how the corona is filled with hot plasma. We show tha...
متن کاملSUMER Observations Confirm the Dynamic Nature of the Quiet Solar Outer Atmosphere: The Inter-network Chromosphere
On 12 March 1996, during the commissioning phase of the SOHO mission, we obtained observations of the quiet Sun with the SUMER instrument. The observations were sequences of 15-20 second exposures of ultraviolet emission line profiles and of the neighboring continua. These data contain signatures of the dynamics of the solar chromosphere that are uniquely useful because of wavelength coverage, ...
متن کاملModeling the Solar Chromosphere
Spectral diagnostic features formed in the solar chromosphere are few and difficult to interpret — they are neither formed in the optically thin regime nor in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). To probe the state of the chromosphere, both from observations and theory, it is therefore necessary with modeling. I discuss both traditional semi-empirical modeling, numerical experiments illustrat...
متن کاملThe prolate solar chromosphere
We present a comparative analysis of the chromospheric solar limb prolateness, using strictly simultaneous Hα ground-based observations and HeII space-based observations. The typical prolateness is found to be ∆D/D = 5.5 × 10−3 in HeII and 1.2 × 10−3 in Hα. The first measurements in the 30.4 nm HeII line over a period of two years, as well as coronal data, are discussed to explore further the o...
متن کاملHeating events in the quiet solar corona: multiwavelength correlations
Coronal, transition region and chromospheric lines and centimeter radio emission of the quiet Sun have been simultaneously observed by SoHO and the VLA. The corona above the magnetic network has a higher pressure and is more variable than above the interior of supergranular cells. The Fourier transform in time is found to have steeper spectra in the corona and upper chromosphere than in the tra...
