The corona is a layer of hot plasma that surrounds the Sun, traces out its complex magnetic
field, and ultimately expands into interplanetary space as the supersonic solar wind …

Determining the heating mechanism (or mechanisms) that causes the outer atmosphere of
the Sun, and many other stars, to reach temperatures orders of magnitude higher than their …

The flow of energy through the solar atmosphere and the heating of the Sun's outer regions
are still not understood. Here, we report the detection of oscillatory phenomena associated …

Alfvén waves are considered to be viable transporters of the non-thermal energy required to
heat the Sun's quiescent atmosphere. An abundance of recent observations, from state-of …

The heating of the solar chromosphere and corona to the observed high temperatures, imply
the presence of ongoing heating that balances the strong radiative and thermal conduction …

The details of the mechanism (s) responsible for the observed heating and dynamics of the
solar atmosphere still remain a mystery. Magnetohydrodynamic waves are thought to have a …

In order to test different models of coronal heating, we have investigated how the magnetic
field strength of coronal flux tubes depends on the end-to-end length of the tube. Using …

Reported observations in Hα, Ca ii H, and K or other chromospheric lines of coronal rain
trace back to the days of the Skylab mission. Corresponding to cool and dense plasma …

Recent soft X-ray and EUV data from space observations with Yohkoh, the Solar and
Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), and the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer …

In the context of coronal heating, among the zoo of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves
that exist in the solar atmosphere, Alfvén waves receive special attention. Indeed, these …
