Structures in the outer solar atmosphere
The structure and dynamics of the outer solar atmosphere are reviewed with emphasis on the role played by the magnetic field. Contemporary observations that focus on high resolution imaging over a range of temperatures, as well as UV, EUV and hard X-ray spectroscopy, demonstrate the presence of a vast range of temporal and spatial scales, mass motions, and particle energies present. By focussin...
متن کاملThe Solar Atmosphere
Looking at the solar photosphere, we see the top of the convection zone in the form of granulation: Hot gas rising from the solar interior as part of the energy transport process reaches a position where the opacity is no longer sufficient to prevent the escape of radiation. The gas expands, radiates, and cools and in so doing loses its buoyancy and descends. These motions, ultimately driven by...
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 کاملThe Outer Solar Atmosphere during the Maunder Minimum: a Stellar Perspective
By comparing solar data with data of ‘‘flat activity’’ stars at UV and soft X-ray wavelengths, we estimate solar chromospheric, transition region, and coronal emission as it might have existed during the Maunder minimum (1645–1715), the most recent of several episodes of persistently weak sunspot activity. Several flat activity stars from theMountWilson S-index survey have been observedwith the...
متن کاملSurface, Subsurface and Atmosphere Exchanges on the Satellites of the Outer Solar System
The surface morphology of icy moons is affected by several processes implicating exchanges between their subsurfaces and atmospheres (if any). The possible exchange of material between the subsurface and the surface is mainly determined by the mechanical properties of the lithosphere, which isolates the deep, warm and ductile ice material G.
