The common observation that where photospheric magnetic fields are strong, the overlying corona is bright is examined quantitatively. White light coronal brightness is employed because it is independent of coronal temperature and is directly related to coronal electron density. Brightness data for t

We consider proposed mechanisms for the formation of coronal holes, and identify as crucial the issue whether the holes are permeated by rigidly rotating fields. It is suggested that the interaction between such a field and the differentially rotating, diffusive solar envelope will produce a fore af
It is shown that the simultaneous consideration of observed values of the solar wind proton flux density at 1 AU and of the electron pressure at the base of the solar corona leads to relatively strong constraints on the coronal temperature in the region of subsonic solar wind flow. The extreme upper
Based on an analysis of the latitude and longitude regularities in the distribution of the sign of the background magnetic field (BMF) on the solar surface for 14 years (1969)(1970)(1971)(1972)(1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982), a classification of BMF distributions in the
