Abstract: | A one-fluid model of the solar atmosphere is considered. The corona is heated by waves propagating out from the Sun, and profiles for temperature, flow speed and number density are obtained. For a relatively quiet Sun the inwards heat flux in the inner corona is constant in T 5–6 × 105 K and the temperature maximum is reached for r — R = 0.4 — 0.5 R where R
is the solar radius. The number density in the inner corona decreases with an increasing particle flux. |
