Theory of stellar coronae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
X-ray observations have shown in recent years that the existence of high temperature plasmas in stellar atmospheres is far more widespread than extrapolated from preexisting theories of the solar and stellar coronae, forcing a radical change in our understanding of the mechanisms of coronal physics. This paper reviews our current ideas on stellar coronae, in particular on the role of magnetic confinement in the atmospheres of late type stars.
