A step closer to understanding why the sun’s corona is so hot

A team of astrophysicists at the University of Warwick in the U.K., working with colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Northumbria University and the Royal Observatory of Belgium has taken what might amount to another step closer to understanding why the sun’s corona is so hot. In their study, reported in the journal Nature Communications, the group analyzed data from two sources of solar information.
