Coronal heating by magnetic explosions

From magnetic fields and coronal heating observed in flares, active regions , quiet regions, and coronal holes, we propose that exploding sheared core magnetic fields are the drivers of most of the dynamics and heating of the solar atmosphere, ranging from the largest and most powerful coronal mass e jections and flares, to the vigorous microflaring and coronal heating in ac tive regions, to a multitude of fine-scale explosive events in the magnetic network, driving microflares, spicules, global coronal heating, and, conse quently, the solar wind.
