From the statistical treatment of magnetohydrodynamically turbulent plasma, a steady-state density, temperature and magnetic field structure is derived for a coronal loop emitting in UV and EUV range. Spatial variation of ...

A statistical mechanics of the velocity and magnetic fields is formulated for an active region plasma. The plasma subjected to the conservation laws emerges in a most probable state which is described by an equilibrium ...

Solar eclipses established the existence of the outer region of the solar atmosphere, the solar corona, extending to several solar-radii and exhibiting open and closed magnetic field patterns. The density and the temperature ...

We study the complexity of supergranular cells using the intensity patterns obtained at the Kodaikanal solar observatory during the solar maximum. Our data consists of visually identified supergranular cells, from which a ...

The formation of the Sweet–Parker current sheet, in fact a slab, is studied for a partially ionized plasma. The effects arising from the ion–neutral drag, the ambipolar diffusion, the resistivity resulting from electron–neutral ...

The turbulent nature of the motions on the solar photosphere is being emphasized more and more by the high resolution quality observations. The processes of inverse cascade of energy in a turbulent medium are being ...

Starting from the exact general relativistic expression for the total energy of selfgravitating spherically distributed matter and using the minimum energy principle, we calculate the upper mass limit for a neutron star ...
