The main objective of a statistical mechanical calculation is drawing the phase diagram of a many-body system. In this respect, discrete systems offer the clear advantage over continuum systems of an easier enumeration of microstates,…
Advanced 3D radiative MHD simulations now reproduce many properties of the outer solar atmosphere. When including a domain from the convection zone into the corona, a hot chromosphere and corona are self-consistently maintained. Here we…
