Interaction Between Convection and Pulsation

Houdek, Günter; Dupret, Marc-Antoine

2015 Living Reviews in Solar Physics

doi:10.1007/lrsp-2015-8

This article reviews our current understanding of modelling convection dynamics in stars. Several semi-analytical time-dependent convection models have been proposed for pulsating one-dimensional stellar structures with different formulations for how the convective turbulent velocity field...

Large-scale Globally Propagating Coronal Waves

Warmuth, Alexander

2015 Living Reviews in Solar Physics

doi:10.1007/lrsp-2015-3

Large-scale, globally propagating wave-like disturbances have been observed in the solar chromosphere and by inference in the corona since the 1960s. However, detailed analysis of these phenomena has only been conducted since the late 1990s. This was prompted by the availability of high-cadence...

The Solar Cycle

Hathaway, David

2015 Living Reviews in Solar Physics

doi:10.1007/lrsp-2015-4 pmid:27194958

The solar cycle is reviewed. The 11-year cycle of solar activity is characterized by the rise and fall in the numbers and surface area of sunspots. A number of other solar activity indicators also vary in association with the sunspots including; the 10.7 cm radio flux, the total solar irradiance,...

Evolution of Active Regions

Driel-Gesztelyi, Lidia; Green, Lucie

2015 Living Reviews in Solar Physics

doi:10.1007/lrsp-2015-1

The evolution of active regions (AR) from their emergence through their long decay process is of fundamental importance in solar physics. Since large-scale flux is generated by the deep-seated dynamo, the observed characteristics of flux emergence and that of the subsequent decay provide vital...

The FIP and Inverse FIP Effects in Solar and Stellar Coronae

Laming, J.

2015 Living Reviews in Solar Physics

doi:10.1007/lrsp-2015-2

We review our state of knowledge of coronal element abundance anomalies in the Sun and stars. We concentrate on the first ionization potential (FIP) effect observed in the solar corona and slow-speed wind, and in the coronae of solar-like dwarf stars, and the “inverse FIP” effect seen in the...

Oscillations and Waves in Sunspots

Khomenko, Elena; Collados, Manuel

2015 Living Reviews in Solar Physics

doi:10.1007/lrsp-2015-6

A magnetic field modifies the properties of waves in a complex way. Significant advances have been made recently in our understanding of the physics of sunspot waves with the help of high-resolution observations, analytical theories, as well as numerical simulations. We review the current ideas...

Solar Coronal Plumes

Poletto, Giannina

2015 Living Reviews in Solar Physics

doi:10.1007/lrsp-2015-7

Polar plumes are thin long ray-like structures that project beyond the limb of the Sun polar regions, maintaining their identity over distances of several solar radii. Plumes have been first observed in white-light (WL) images of the Sun, but, with the advent of the space era, they have been...

Solar Magnetism in the Polar Regions

Petrie, Gordon

2015 Living Reviews in Solar Physics

doi:10.1007/lrsp-2015-5

This review describes observations of the polar magnetic fields, models for the cyclical formation and decay of these fields, and evidence of their great influence in the solar atmosphere. The polar field distribution dominates the global structure of the corona over most of the solar cycle,...
