Nov 25, 2022 · Using new observations with high spatial resolution (250−270 km on the Sun) and high cadence (3−10 s) from the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) on board Solar Orbiter, we observed the untangling of small-scale coronal braids in different active regions.

Jan 23, 2013 · Here we report observations, at a resolution of 0.2 arc seconds, of magnetic braids in a coronal active region that are reconnecting, relaxing and dissipating sufficient energy to heat the...

Relaxation of braided coronal magnetic fields through reconnection is thought to be a source of energy to heat plasma in active region coronal loops. However, observations of active region coronal heating associated with an untangling of magnetic braids remain sparse.

Nov 25, 2022 · Solar coronal heating from small-scale magnetic braids by L. P. Chitta, H. Peter, S. Parenti, et al. 2022, A&A, 667, A166. The Sun’s outer atmosphere is dominated by million-kelvin hot plasma, magnetically confined in arches with footpoints in the 6000 K cool photosphere.

Here we report observations, at a resolution of 0.2arc seconds, of magnetic braids in a coronal active region that are recon-necting, relaxing and dissipating sufficient energy to heat the struc-tures to about 4,000,000K.

study reveals the operation of gentle and impulsive modes of magnetic reconnection in the solar corona. Key words. Sun: corona – Sun: magnetic fields – magnetic reconnection – plasmas 1. Introduction One of the widely invoked models to explain the million Kelvin solar corona is magnetic braiding (Parker1972,1983).

Sep 27, 2022 · both spatially coherent and intermittent coronal heating during relaxation of magnetic braids. Our study reveals the operation of both more gentle and impulsive modes of magnetic reconnection in the solar corona. Key words.
