Coronal elemental abundances are known to deviate from the photospheric values of their parent star, with the degree of deviation depending on the First Ionization Potential (FIP). This study focuses on the coronal composition of stars with…
Elemental abundance effects in active coronae have eluded our understanding for almost three decades, since the discovery of the First Ionization Potential (FIP) effect on the sun. The goal of this paper is to monitor the same coronal…
One puzzling question in solar physics is the difference between elemental abundances in the photosphere and the corona. Elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) can be overabundant in the corona compared to the photosphere under…
We revisit in more detail a model for element abundance fractionation in the solar chromosphere, that gives rise to the "FIP Effect" in the solar corona and wind. Elements with first ionization potential below about 10 eV, i.e. those that…
Elemental abundances in the solar corona are known to be different from those observed in the solar photosphere. The ratio of coronal to photospheric abundance shows a dependence on the first ionisation potential (FIP) of the element. We…
We examine the different element abundances exhibited by the closed loop solar corona and the slow speed solar wind. Both are subject to the First Ionization Potential (FIP) Effect, the enhancement in coronal abundance of elements with FIP…
Elemental abundances in the solar corona and solar wind are often observed to differ from those in the solar photosphere, most commonly showing an enhancement of low first ionization-potential (FIP) elements (the FIP effect). The…
We present evidences that anomalies in abundance of the chemical minor elements with the low first ionization potential (FIP) in the low corona of the late-type stars can be related with topology of the large-scale magnetic field. The solar…
The chemical composition of solar and stellar atmospheres differs from that of their photospheres. Abundances of elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) are enhanced in the corona relative to high FIP elements with respect to the…
{The \ion{Na}{x} X-ray lines between 10.9 and 11.2~\AA\ have attracted little attention but are of interest since they enable an estimate of the coronal abundance of Na to be made. This is of great interest in the continuing debate on the…
Sulphur, with a first ionisation potential (FIP) of 10.36 eV, lies at the boundary between low- and high-FIP elements, making it particularly sensitive to fractionation processes in the solar atmosphere. Sulphur exhibits variable behaviour…
We find that the element abundances in solar energetic particles (SEPs) and in the slow solar wind (SSW), relative to those in the photosphere, show different patterns as a function of the first ionization potential (FIP) of the elements.…
Elements with low First Ionization Potential (FIP) are known to be three to four times more abundant in active region loops of the solar corona than in the photosphere. There have been observations suggesting that this observed "FIP bias"…
Elemental abundances in solar flares are observed to vary both spatially and temporally, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. There is an interplay between advection and the preferential acceleration of low first…
The First Ionization Potential (FIP) effect is the by now well known enhancement in abundance over photospheric values of Fe and other elements with first ionization potential below about 10 eV observed in the solar corona and slow speed…
The zero-age main-sequence star AB Dor and the K dwarf component of the V471 Tau close binary have essentially identical rotation rates and spectral types. An analysis of their high resolution {\it Chandra} X-ray spectra reveals remarkably…
Context: The comparison of coronal and photospheric abundances in cool stars is an essential question to resolve. In the Sun an enhancement of the elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) is observed in the corona with respect to…
At fast rotation rates the coronal activity of G- and K-type stars has been observed to "saturate" and then decline again at even faster rotation rates -- a phenomenon dubbed "super-saturation". In this paper we investigate coronal activity…
The enrichment of coronal loops and the slow solar wind with elements that have low First Ionisation Potential, known as the FIP effect, has often been interpreted as the tracer of a common origin. A current explanation for this FIP…
On 2008 May 2, Chandra observed the X-ray spectrum of Xi Boo (G8 V+K4 V), resolving the binary for the first time in X-rays and allowing the coronae of the two stars to be studied separately. With the contributions of Xi Boo A and B to the…
