Abstract

The present work discusses the basic physical mechanisms which produce the heating of stellar chromospheres and coronae. As extensive reviews on this subject have been published elsewhere (Narain & Ulmschneider [2], (Paper I), Narain & Ulmschneider [3] (Paper II) as well as Ulmschneider [4] (Paper III)) the present paper concentrates on the physics of the heating processes. For additional literature as well as for additional reviews see Papers I to III. Section 2 discusses the necessity of chromospheric and coronal heating and describes the elementary heating processes. Section 3 outlines the hydrodynamic heating mechanisms and Section 4 the magnetic heating mechanisms.
