The determination of the radial and latitudinal temperature and wind profiles of the solar corona is of great importance in understanding the coronal heating mechanism and the dynamics of coronal expansion. Cram (1976) presented the theory for the formation of the K-coronal spec…

Solar wind plasma is a turbulent medium, with processes that operate on many scales. Observations below proton scales are rare. Future spacecraft missions will have the required resolution to make these observations, so theoretical experiments and simulations at these scales wil…

The Sun contains over 99% of the mass of the solar system and so, to fully develop a model of how the solar system formed and evolved what the starting composition was and how it evolved, it is crucial to know the isotopic composition of the sun. The Genesis mission collected sa…
