摘要: Velocity distributions of O+5 ions derived from Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) observations in coronal holes indicate that the are highly anisotropic (T⊥i/T∥i ≈ 30-300 at 3.5 R☉). The provide empirical values for electron density and ion temperatures. It is well known electromagnetic cyclotron instability driven by temperature anisotropy. leads to rapid decrease anisotropy transfer part kinetic energy particles into magnetic field fluctuations. Here we use linear theory hybrid simulations combined with densities temperatures investigate minor hole plasma. We find an initial 50 decreases order magnitude within ~300-900 proton periods. Thus, constrains can be sustained solar corona without continuous perpendicular heating.
