There are still secrets of our Sun that the scientific community struggles to unveil. One of this is the mechanism responsible for the heating of solar corona. While the photospheric plasma has a typical temperature of about 5700 degrees, in fact, the plasma in the solar chromosphere and corona is hotter: about 10000 degrees in the chromosphere and 1-2 millions

Multi-band observations of stellar flares. the study: “A multi-wavelength view of magnetic flaring from PMS stars” of E. Flaccomio (Inaf – OAPA) recently published by A&A

Ricerca

Most of the stars, mainly the low mass stars, produce their own magnetic field in their interior. The interaction between the magnetic field and stellar plasma is the cause of phenomena such as photosperic spots, faculae, protuberances, coronal mass ejections, and flares. The study of this activity is important both because it reveals how intense magnetic fields interact with high-temperature
