Superthermic Phenomena in Stellar Atmospheres.VI. Comment on Regions of Emission Fluctuation in the Solar Atmosphere.
Abstract
Regions of fluctuating.emission in the solar atmosphere must involve density fluctuations, independently of whether there is a simultaneous change in excitation. Such density fluctuation must be discussed in terms of a nonstatic model. One such model may be a supersonic jet, and a quantitative description of such a jet is provided by an extension, to the case including a gravitational field, of an early theory by Prandtl. The theory is applied to the Menzel-Cilli "hot-spot" region observed at the 1932 eclipse.
