We perform a number of numerical simulations of the solar corona with the aim to understand how it responds to different conditions in the photosphere. By changing parameters which govern the motion of the plasma at the photosphere we study…
Recent imaging observations of EUV line emissions have shown evidence for frequent flare-like events in a majority of the pixels in quiet regions of the solar corona. The changes in coronal emission measure indicate impulsive heating of new…
The dynamics of regions of the solar corona are investigated using Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) 171\AA\ and 193\AA\ data. The coronal emission from the quiet Sun, coronal loop footprints, coronal moss, and from above a sunspot is…
We present first results of a novel technique that provides, for the first time, constraints on the energy input flux at the coronal base ($r\sim\,1.025\,{\rm R}_\odot$) of the quiet-Sun at a global scale. By combining differential emission…
The elemental composition of the Sun's hot atmosphere, the corona, shows a distinctive pattern that is different than the underlying surface, or photosphere (Pottasch 1963). Elements that are easy to ionize in the chromosphere are enhanced…
Faraday Rotation-Conversion is the simultaneous rotation of all three Stokes polarization parameters $Q$, $U$, $V$ as an electromagnetic wave propagates through a magnetized plasma. In this regime the Faraday plasma screen is characterized…
Recent observations revealed that the solar atmosphere is highly structured in density, temperature and magnetic field. The presence of these gradients may lead to the appearance of currents in the plasma, which in the weakly collisional…

We investigate the thermal, kinematic and magnetic structure of small-scale heating events in an emerging flux region (EFR). We use high-resolution multi-line observations (including Ca II 8542~\AA, Ca II K, and Fe I 6301~\AA line pair) of…

We analyzed the band splitting of a Type II radio burst observed on 1997 May 12 by ground- and space-based radio spectrometers. Type II radio emission is the most evident signature of coronal shock waves and the observed band splitting is…
The structure of the solar corona is made of magnetic flux tubes or loops. Due to the lack of contrast with their environment, observing and studying coronal loops in the quiet Sun is extremely difficult. In this work we use a differential…
The plasma composition of the solar corona is different from that of the solar photosphere. Elements that have a low first ionisation potential (FIP) are preferentially transported to the corona and, therefore, show enhanced abundances in…

The electron density of the solar corona is a fundamental parameter in many areas of solar physics. Traditionally, routine estimates of coronal density have relied exclusively on white-light observations. However, these density estimates,…
