The Transparency of Solar Coronal Active Regions
Resonance scattering has often been invoked to explain the disagreement between the observed and predicted line ratios of Fe XVII λ15.01 to Fe XVII λ15.26 (the “3C/3D” ratio). In this process photons of λ15.01, with its much higher oscillator strength, are preferentially scattered out of the line of sight, thus reducing the observed line ratio. Recent laboratory measurements, however, have foun...
متن کاملModelling nanoflares in active regions and implications for coronal heating mechanisms.
Recent observations from the Hinode and Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft have provided major advances in understanding the heating of solar active regions (ARs). For ARs comprising many magnetic strands or sub-loops heated by small, impulsive events (nanoflares), it is suggested that (i) the time between individual nanoflares in a magnetic strand is 500-2000 s, (ii) a weak 'hot' component ...
متن کاملMagnetic reconnection: flares and coronal heating in Active Galactic Nuclei
A magnetically–structured accretion disk corona, generated by buoyancy instability in the disk, can account for observations of flare–like events in Active Galactic Nuclei. We examine how Petschek magnetic reconnection, associated with MHD turbulence, can result in a violent release of energy and heat the magnetically closed regions of the corona up to canonical X-ray emitting temperatures. X-r...
متن کاملForward Modeling of Active Region Coronal Emissions: II. Implications for Coronal Heating
In Paper I, we introduced and tested a method for predicting solar active region coronal emissions using magnetic field measurements and a chosen heating relationship. Here, we apply this forward-modeling technique to 10 active regions observed with the Mees Solar Observatory Imaging Vector Magnetograph and the Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope. We produce synthetic images of each region using four p...
متن کاملThe Coronal Heating Paradox
The ‘‘coronal heating problem’’ has been with us over 60 years, and hundreds of theoretical models have been proposed without an obvious solution in sight. In this paper we point out that observations show no evidence for local heating in the solar corona, but rather for heating below the corona in the transition region and upper chromosphere, with subsequent chromospheric evaporation as known ...
