Solar physics and solar wind

Nour E. Raouafi, Editor ; Angelos Vourlidas, Editor | Hoboken, N.J. : J. Wiley | Geophysical monograph | 2021

One of the current mysteries in Heliophysics is the heating of the solar atmosphere to temperatures that are orders of macagnitude hotter than the solar surface. As a result of this heating, the Sun cannot contain its atmosphere and a continual [...]
