Nonthermal Motions and Atmospheric Heating of Cool Stars

Nonthermal Motions and Atmospheric Heating of Cool Stars

The magnetic processes associated with the nonthermal broadening of optically thin emission lines appear to carry enough energy to heat the corona and accelerate the solar wind. We investigate whether nonthermal motions in cool stars exhibit the same behavior as on the Sun by analyzing archival stel...
