The origin of the slow solar wind is not well understood, unlike the fast solar wind which originates from coronal holes. In-situ elemental abundances of the slow solar wind suggest that it originates from initially closed field lines that…

Within the coronae of stars, abundances of those elements with low first ionization potential (FIP) often differ from their photospheric values. The coronae of the Sun and solar-type stars mostly show enhancements of low- FIP elements (the…

The phenomenon of peripheral coronal loop contraction during solar flares and eruptions, recently discovered in observations, gradually intrigues solar physicists. However, its underlying physical mechanism is still uncertain. One is Hudson…
