Testing Theories of Solar Coronal Heating with Three-Dimensional Forward Modeling
Steven R. Cranmer, Chris R. Gilly
After almost a century of speculation, the physical processes responsible for heating the Sun's corona remain uncertain. Observations of coronal loops at extreme ultraviolet and X-…
Ubiquitous high-frequency waves and disturbances in the active region corona observed with DKIST/Cryo-NIRSP
Momchil E. Molnar, Richard Morton, Alin Paraschiv +4
The plasma of the solar corona harbors a multitude of coronal wave modes, some of which could be dissipated to provide the required energy and momentum to heat the corona and accel…
Visualization of High Dynamic Range Solar Imagery and the Radial Histogram Equalizing Filter
Chris Gilly, Steven Cranmer
Standard visualizations of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) solar imagery often fail to convey the full complexity of the Sun's corona, especially in faint off-limb regions. This can leav…
Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Craig E. DeForest, Sarah E. Gibson, Ronnie Killough +74
The Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) mission is a NASA Small Explorer to determine the cross-scale processes that unify the solar corona and heliosphere. PUN…
Field Line Universal relaXer (FLUX): A Fluxon Approach to Coronal Magnetic Field Modeling
Chris Lowder, Chris Gilly, Craig DeForest
We describe a novel method for modeling the global, steady solar wind using photospheric magnetic fields as a driving boundary condition. Prior wind models in this class include bo…
The Sun's Alfven Surface: Recent Insights and Prospects for the Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH)
Steven R. Cranmer, Rohit Chhiber, Chris R. Gilly +7
The solar wind is the extension of the Sun's hot and ionized corona, and it exists in a state of continuous expansion into interplanetary space. The radial distance at which the wi…
Defining the Middle Corona
Matthew J. West, Daniel B. Seaton, David B. Wexler +31
The middle corona, the region roughly spanning heliocentric altitudes from to , encompasses almost all of the influential physical transitions and processes that…
The Effect of Solar Wind Expansion and Non-Equilibrium Ionization on the Broadening of Coronal Emission Lines
Chris R. Gilly, Steven R. Cranmer
When observing spectral lines in the optically-thin corona, line-of-sight (LOS) effects can strongly affect the interpretation of the data, especially in regions just above the lim…
