New views on the emission and structure of the solar transition region
He, Jiansen; Tian, Hui; Marsch, Eckart +2 more
The Sun is the only star that we can spatially resolve and it can be regarded as a fundamental plasma laboratory of astrophysics. The solar transition region (TR), the layer between the solar chromosphere and corona, plays an important role in solar wind origin and coronal heating. Recent high-resolution observations made by SOHO, TRACE, and Hinod…
Theories of solar eruptions: a review
Lin, J.; Baliunas, S. L.; Soon, W.
This review highlights current theoretical research on eruptive phenomena in the solar atmosphere. We start by looking back upon the early theories and their development. Any theory and model of solar eruptions must explain two key aspects of eruption physics. The first aspect concerns the original cause of the eruption and the second pertains to …
Dynamics of the transition region
Gontikakis, C.; Dara, H. C.
In this review, we consider the problem of the apparent redshifts of the UV lines in the transition region and review the basic observations made over the last decades, especially the observations of the last few years from satellite observatories. Moreover, we revise the most popular theoretical explanations for the motions in the transition regi…
