Magnetic Topology and the Heating of Extended Chromospheres
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
New data indicate that red giants are surrounded by geometrically thick chromospheres of several stellar radii extent. Such chromospheres occur among stars which apparently lack coronae. Maintenance of this extended warm region may require non-compressional wave heating of a magnetic character, and this may provide a crucial clue to the mechanism of rapid mass loss from red giant stars.
