Wave Heating in Magnetic Flux Tubes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2017
Abstract
The solar chromosphere is identified with the atmosphere inside magnetic flux tubes. In the quiet sun, the layers of the low and middle chromosphere are heated by compressive waves with periods mainly between 2 min and 4 min. These long-period waves probably supply all the energy required for the heating of the quiet solar chromosphere.
