The research evidence presented by the panel spotted this super hot solar material, called plasma, representative of a nanoflare.

The shaking from Alfvén waves and the flickers of nanoflares could not only loosen up the tangled skein of magnetism, but also transfer heat high up into the corona.

Hoping to build up a more complete picture of nanoflares and their contribution to coronal heating, Glesener is leading a team to launch a third iteration of the FOXSI instrument on a sounding rocket in summer 2018.

One of the consequences of nanoflares would be pockets of superheated plasma.

Bradshaw used a sophisticated computational model to demonstrate why spotting signatures of the nanoflares has been so difficult and how the new evidence will help researchers go forward to improve theories on the details of coronal heating - one day allowing heliophysics researchers to at last solve the coronal heating mystery.

«[These observations] confirm that nanoflares exist and heat at least some of the corona,» says Klimchuk.

Instead, many nanoflares, a million times weaker than traditional solar flares but still packing enough of a punch to meet the United States» energy needs for a year, were acting in concert to heat the corona, the team reports today in Nature Astronomy.

But in this case, there was no observable solar flare, meaning the hot material was most likely produced by a series of solar flares so small that they were undetectable from Earth: nanoflares.

In aggregate, these nanoflares could produce enough heat to raise the temperature of the corona to the millions of degrees that we observe.

«The explosions are called nanoflares because they have one - billionth the energy of a regular flare,» said Klimchuk.

In this way, nanoflares may also be the missing link responsible for untangling the chaotic mess of magnetic field lines on the surface of the Sun, explaining why the corona has neat loops and smooth fans of magnetic fields.
