Magnetohydrodynamic Poynting Flux Vortices in the Solar Atmosphere and Their Role in Concentrating Energy by Suzana S. A. Silva, Gary Verth, Erico L. Rempel, Istvan Ballai, Shahin Jafarzadeh, Viktor Fedun

“…This energy mapping reveals the presence of transport barriers in the lower atmosphere, restricting the amount of magnetic energy from the photosphere reaching the chromosphere and corona. Interacting kinematic and magnetic vortices create energy channels, breaking through these barriers and allowing three times more energy input from photospheric motions to reach the upper atmosphere than before the vortices formed. …”

E., Guenther, Hans Moritz, Morales-Calderon, M.

“…This may mean that the periodic signal is primarily from the disk, not the photosphere, in those cases. We find 9 variables likely to be "dippers," where texture in the disk occults the central star, and 11 likely to be "bursters," where accretion instabilities create brightness bursts. …”

“…Therefore, our data are inconsistent with dip models that invoke optically thick material, but rather they are in-line with predictions for an occulter consisting primarily of ordinary dust, where much of the material must be optically thin with a size scale Lt1 μm, and may also be consistent with models invoking variations intrinsic to the stellar photosphere. Notably, our data do not place constraints on the color of the longer-term "secular" dimming, which may be caused by independent processes, or probe different regimes of a single process.…”
