Coronal Heating and the Solar Wind Acceleration
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
We propose a coronal heating theory based on the magnetic twisting, which inevitably produces charge imbalance. The resulting electric field creates supra-thermal electron beams. Beams are then thermalized by classical collisions. The dissipation rate is enough to heat the corona and to accelerate the solar wind.
