On the coronal heating mechanism by the resonant absorption of Alfven waves

In this paper, we will investigate the heating of the solar corona by the resonant absorption of Alfven waves in a viscous and isothermal atmosphere permeated by a horizontal magnetic field. It is shown that if the viscosity dominates the motion in a high (low)- β plasma, it creates an absorbing and...
