Steady-state Heating of Diffuse Coronal Plasma in a Solar Active Region
The solar corona is much hotter than lower layers of the solar atmosphere—the photosphere and chromosphere. The coronal temperature is up to 1 MK in quiet Sun areas, while up to several megakelvins in active regions, which implies a key role of the magnetic field in coronal heating. This means that...
