The Solar–Stellar Connection
The discovery that radio emission from stars is quite common and readily detectable was one of the unexpected advances produced by the Very Large Array [35,11]. This discovery could not be predicted based on what we know of the Sun’s radio emission, even though similar physical mechanisms are operating in stellar radio sources and so knowledge of the Sun’s emission is essential for understandin...
متن کاملThe Solar Wind
. ~ydrodyn~mic expansion of the solar corona is the basis for "solar corpusc ular radiatIOn . The qUiet day coronal temperatures of 1 to 2X 106 OK yield a solar wind of several h';lDdred km/sec and a density of 5 to 50 particles/cm3 at the orbit of Earth. The solar ~lVllld draws out m to spa~e t he. lines of fore.e of t he gen eral one-gauss solar field, to give an Il1terplanetary fi eld t hat ...
متن کاملComposition of the Solar Wind
Introduction: The solar wind reflects the composition of the Sun and physical processes in the corona. Analysis produces information on how the solar system was formed and on physical processes in the co-rona. The analysis can also produce information on the local interstellar medium, galactic evolution, comets in the solar wind, dust in the heliosphere, and matter escaping from planets. Histor...
متن کاملViscosity in the Solar Wind
The effects of viscosity on a steady, radial, spherically symmetric solar wind with an embedded, non-radial magnetic field are reconsidered. The correct expression for the classical viscosity in the presence of a non-radial magnetic field is shown to be different from that used in the past, and a means of describing non-classical viscosity is presented. A physical interpretation of the classica...
متن کاملOn the Slow Solar Wind
A theory for the origin of the slow solar wind is described. Recent papers have demonstrated that magnetic flux moves across coronal holes as a result of the interplay between the differential rotation of the photosphere and the non-radial expansion of the solar wind in more rigidly rotating coronal holes. This flux will be deposited at low latitudes and should reconnect with closed magnetic lo...
