Inhibition of Conductive Heat Flow by Magnetic Construction in the Corona and Transition Region - Dependence on the Shape of the Construction
Abstract
The magnetic field that fills the corona is rooted in a small fraction of the solar surface. The consequent constriction of the field lines inhibits the conduction of heat down from the corona, thereby strongly affecting the energy balance in the corona and transition region. In this paper, we clarify how the shape of the constriction acts together with the amount of constriction to inhibit the heat flow.
