Physics of Stellar Coronae

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Turbulence in Space Plasmas

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 778))

For the plasma physicist, the solar corona offers an outstanding example of a space plasma, and surely one that deserves a lifetime of study. Not only can we observe the solar corona on scales of a few hundred kilometers and monitor its changes in the course of seconds to minutes but we also have a wide range of detailed diagnostics at our disposal that provide immediate access to the prevalent physical processes.
