The First Ionization Potential (FIP) bias, whereby elemental abundances for low FIP elements in different coronal structures vary from their photospheric values and may also vary with time, has been widely studied. In order to study the…

Sun-as-a-star coronal plasma composition, derived from full-Sun spectra, and the F10.7 radio flux (2.8 GHz) have been shown to be highly correlated (r = 0.88) during solar cycle 24. However, this correlation becomes nonlinear during…

Slow magnetoacoustic waves represent an important tool for probing the solar coronal plasma. We quantitatively assess the applicability of the weak thermal conduction theory to coronal seismology by slow waves. We numerically model the…
