Heating of Intense Magnetic Flux Tubes by Magnetohydrodynamic Waves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
Theoretical models of intense magnetic flux tubes embedded in the photospheres of late-type stars have been calculated. Magnetohydrodynamic waves generated in the convective zone are radiatively damped in the lower part of the flux tube and then dissipated. We discuss how the presence of flux tubes in stellar photospheres influences the temperature minimum and the chromospheric activity. We suggest a possible interpretation of the Wilson-Bappu effect in stars with strong chromospheric activity.
