Alfvén wave solar model (AWSoM): coronal heating

B van der Holst, IV Sokolov, X Meng, M **… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a new version of the Alfvén wave solar model, a global model from the upper

In situ observations of large-amplitude Alfvén waves heating and accelerating the solar wind

YJ Rivera, ST Badman, ML Stevens, JL Verniero… - Science, 2024 - science.org
After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more
slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. Alfvén waves are perturbations of …
