How are the abnormally hot chromosphere and corona heated by the solar magnetic fields?

K. J. Li, J. C. Xu, W. F eng +3

The corona is a structure possessed by stars, including the sun. The abnormal heating of the solar corona and chromosphere is one of the greatest mysteries in modern astronomy. Whi…

Why isn't the solar constant a constant?

K. J. Li, W. Feng, J. C. Xu +4

In order to probe the mechanism of variations of the Solar Constant on the inter-solar-cycle scale, total solar irradiance (TSI, the so-called Solar Constant) in the time interval…
