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 …

Alfvén wave solar model (AWSoM): coronal heating

B van der Holst, IV Sokolov, X Meng, M Jin… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a new version of the Alfvén wave solar model, a global model from the upper
chromosphere to the corona and the heliosphere. The coronal heating and solar wind …

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 …

Self-consistent coronal heating and solar wind acceleration from anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

SR Cranmer, AA Van Ballegooijen… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a series of models for the plasma properties along open magnetic flux tubes
rooted in solar coronal holes, streamers, and active regions. These models represent the …

Testing a predictive theoretical model for the mass loss rates of cool stars

SR Cranmer, SH Saar - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
The basic mechanisms responsible for producing winds from cool, late-type stars are still
largely unknown. We take inspiration from recent progress in understanding solar wind …

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

Perpendicular ion heating by low-frequency Alfvén-wave turbulence in the solar wind

BDG Chandran, B Li, BN Rogers… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider ion heating by turbulent Alfvén waves (AWs) and kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs)
with wavelengths (measured perpendicular to the magnetic field) that are comparable to the …

A model of turbulence in magnetized plasmas: Implications for the dissipation range in the solar wind

GG Howes, SC Cowley, W Dorland… - Journal of …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
This paper studies the turbulent cascade of magnetic energy in weakly collisional
magnetized plasmas. A cascade model is presented, based on the assumptions of local …
