Radial Distributions of Coronal Electron Temperatures: specificities of the DYN model
Joseph F. Lemaire, Athanassios C. Katsiyannis
This paper is a follow up of the article where Lemaire and Stegen (2016) introduced their DYN method to calculate coronal temperature profiles from given radial distributions of th…
Collisionless transport equations derived from a kinetic exospheric solar wind model with kappa velocity distribution functions
Gabriel Voitcu, Viviane Pierrard, Herve Lamy +2
In this paper we discuss the collisionless transport equations, continuity, momentum and energy conservation, derived from a kinetic exospheric model of the solar wind based on a k…
A review on solar wind modeling: kinetic and fluid aspects
Marius Echim, Joseph Lemaire, Oystein Lie-Svendsen
We review the main advantages and limitations of the kinetic exospheric and fluid models of the solar wind (SW). We discuss the hydrostatic model imagined by Chapman, the first sup…
Coronal temperature profiles obtained from kinetic models and from coronal brightness measurements obtained during solar eclipses
V. Pierrard, K. Borremans, J. F. Lemaire
Coronal density, temperature and heat flux distributions for the equatorial and polar corona have been deduced by Lemaire [2012] from Saito's model of averaged coronal white light…
Convective Instability Of The Solar Corona: Why The Solar Wind Blows
Joseph Lemaire
Chapman's (1957) conductive model of the solar corona is characterized by a temperature varying as r**(-2/7) with heliocentric distance r. The density distribution in this non-isot…
Half a Century of Kinetic Solar Wind Models
Joseph Lemaire
I outline the development of four generations of kinetic models, starting with Chamberlain's solar breeze exospheric model. It is shown why this first kinetic model did not give ap…
