Identification and characterization of small-scale heating events in the solar atmosphere from 3D MHD simulations
Abstract
We studied the properties of small scale heating events (in the nano and micro-flare regime) in the solar atmosphere using existing 3D MHD simulations. We put forward a method for event identification and categorization. We determine the spatial extend of the events and their frequency and energy distributions. These results aim at improving the understanding of small scale heating events and their role for the heating of the solar corona.
