Coronal holes

SR Cranmer - Living reviews in solar physics, 2009 - Springer
Coronal holes are the darkest and least active regions of the Sun, as observed both on the
solar disk and above the solar limb. Coronal holes are associated with rapidly expanding …

Quiet Sun magnetic fields: an observational view

L Bellot Rubio, D Orozco Suárez - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2019 - Springer
The quiet Sun is the region of the solar surface outside of sunspots, pores, and plages. In
continuum intensity it appears dominated by granular convection. However, in polarized …

Heating of the solar chromosphere and corona by Alfvén wave turbulence

AA Van Ballegooijen, M Asgari-Targhi… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT A three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model for the propagation
and dissipation of Alfvén waves in a coronal loop is developed. The model includes the …

On the generation, propagation, and reflection of Alfvén waves from the solar photosphere to the distant heliosphere

SR Cranmer, AA Van Ballegooijen - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comprehensive model of the global properties of Alfvén waves in the solar
atmosphere and the fast solar wind. Linear non-WKB wave transport equations are solved …

Multiwavelength studies of MHD waves in the solar chromosphere: An overview of recent results

DB Jess, RJ Morton, G Verth, V Fedun, SDT Grant… - Space Science …, 2015 - Springer
The chromosphere is a thin layer of the solar atmosphere that bridges the relatively cool
photosphere and the intensely heated transition region and corona. Compressible and …

The effect of stellar contamination on low-resolution transmission spectroscopy: needs identified by NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Study Analysis Group 21

Abstract Study Analysis Group 21 (SAG21) of NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program
Analysis Group was organized to study the effect of stellar contamination on space-based …

Solar fine-scale structures. I. Spicules and other small-scale, jet-like events at the chromospheric level: observations and physical parameters

G Tsiropoula, K Tziotziou, I Kontogiannis… - Space science …, 2012 - Springer
Over the last two decades the uninterrupted, high resolution observations of the Sun, from
the excellent range of telescopes aboard many spacecraft complemented with observations …

Observations of ubiquitous compressive waves in the Sun's chromosphere

RJ Morton, G Verth, DB Jess, D Kuridze… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
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 …

Thin threads of solar filaments

Y Lin, OØ Engvold, LR der Voort, JE Wiik, TE Berger - Solar Physics, 2005 - Springer
High-resolution images obtained in Hα with the new Swedish Solar Telescope at La Palma,
Spain, have been used for studies of fine-scale threads in solar filaments. The widths of the …

Small-scale solar magnetic fields

AG De Wijn, JO Stenflo, SK Solanki… - The Origin and Dynamics …, 2009 - Springer
As we resolve ever smaller structures in the solar atmosphere, it has become clear that
magnetism is an important component of those small structures. Small-scale magnetism …
