Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broad endeavor of solar physics is to determine from the observed radiation the structure of the solar atmosphere and the nature of the energy balance which this structure implies. A basic feature of the solar atmosphere which is still not well understood is the chromosphere-corona transition region in which, in a height of a few thousand kilometers, the temperature increases from about 10,000 degrees K at the top of the chromosphere to about 1,000,000 degrees K at the bottom of the corona. The problem investigated in this dissertation is that of the structure and heating (or energy balance) of the transition region and the role of the transition region in the structure and heating of the atmosphere as a whole.

This book was released on 2000-07-31 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty papers comprise one of the two volumes which resulted from the August 1999 workshop. The papers revolve around one key theme: the entire outer atmosphere of the sun is intrinsically dynamic, evolving so rapidly that even the concept of a single local temperature for a single fluid often breaks down. In addition, the corona is an intrinsically nonlinear and non-local medium. Topics of the papers include: aspects of three-dimensional magnetic reconnection; long- lived coronal loops observed by TRACE; high-resolution observations of plasma jets in the solar corona; time variability of EUV brightenings in coronal loops observed by TRACE; radio versus EUV/X-ray observations of the solar atmosphere; and measuring the physical properties of the solar corona: results from SUMER/SOHO and TRACE.

Download or read book The Solar Transition Region written by John T. Mariska and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The solar transition region, which spans the temperature range from about 20,000 to 1,000,000 K, separates the chromosphere from the corona. All the energy that heats the corona and powers the solar wind must pass through this part of the solar atmosphere. This book summarizes recent ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet observations of the transition region, the empirical models derived from them, and the physical models that try to explain both the observations and the empirical models. The observational focus is on quiet solar transition region observations made with Skylab and subsequent rocket and satellite experiments. The book also presents a unified discussion of the analysis of ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet spectroscopic data, including the determination of the emission measure and density and temperature diagnostics. This will be useful to astrophysicists who are confronting high-resolution ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet data from astrophysical plasmas for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex internal structure of the Sun can now be studied in detail through helioseismology and neutrino astronomy. The VI Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics was dedicated to examining these powerful new techniques. Based on this meeting, eight specially-written chapters by world-experts are presented in this timely volume. We are shown how the internal composition and dynamical structure of the Sun can be deduced through helioseismology; and how the central temperature can be determined from the flux of solar neutrinos. This volume provides an excellent introduction for graduate students and an up-to-date overview for researchers working on the Sun, neutrino astronomy and helio- and asteroseismology.

Download or read book Physics of the Inner Heliosphere II written by Rainer Schwenn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics of the Inner Heliosphere gives for the first time a comprehensive and complete summary of our knowledge of the inner solar system. Using data collected over more than 11 years by the HELIOS twin solar probes, one of the most successful ventures in unmanned space exploration, the authors have compiled six extensive reviews of the physical processes of the inner heliosphere and their relation to the solar atmosphere. Researchers and advanced students in space and plasma physics, astronomy, and solar physics will be surprised to see just how closely the heliosphere is tied to, and how sensitively it depends on, the sun. Volume 2 deals with particles, waves, and turbulence, with chapters on: - magnetic clouds - interplanetary clouds - the solar wind plasma and MHD turbulence - waves and instabilities - energetic particles in the inner solar system

Download or read book A Guide to the Solar Corona written by Donald E. Billings and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guide to the Solar Corona is specifically directed to the space scientist or engineer who is not a specialist in solar physics, but whose work requires a fairly detailed knowledge of the corona. It is hoped that the material may prove useful to most graduate students in astrophysics, while solar physicists may find some topics of interest and value to them. The book contains 12 chapters and begins with three descriptive chapters that provide the casual reader with a concept of the corona as it is evident through more or less direct observation. Topics covered include the development of coronal science, observational techniques, and observational aspects of the corona. The next chapter discusses methods of analyzing coronal data. Subsequent chapters present theoretical considerations as they are applicable to the corona. These combine theory with observation to provide a description of the various aspects of the corona. The final chapter is a combination of established ideas and speculation on the place of the corona in the universe.
