The Sun's outer coronal layer exists at a temperature of millions of kelvins, much hotter than the solar surface we observe. How this high temperature is maintained and what energy sources are involved continue to puzzle and fascinate solar researchers. Recently, the Hinode spacecraft was launched to observe and measure the plasma properties of the Sun's outer layers. The data collected by Hinode reveal much about the role of magnetic field interactions and how plasma waves might transport energy to the corona. These results open a new era in high-resolution observation of the Sun.
太阳的外层日冕层温度高达数百万开尔文，比我们观测到的太阳表面要热得多。这种高温是如何维持的以及涉及哪些能量来源，一直困扰并吸引着太阳研究人员。最近，“日之出”号航天器发射升空，用于观测和测量太阳外层的等离子体特性。“日之出”号收集的数据揭示了磁场相互作用的作用以及等离子体波如何将能量传输到日冕的诸多信息。这些结果开启了太阳高分辨率观测的新时代。
