RHESSI Science Nuggets in August, 2015

No. 258, “High Energies in the Inner Heliosphere,” by Hugh Hudson. Cosmic rays measure the coronal magnetic field at the source surface itself.

No. 259, “Return-current Model Spectra and Enhanced Plasma Resistivity,” by Meriem Alaoui and Gordon Holman. A basic return-current model matches RHESSI hard X-ray spectra and implies a need for anomalous resistivity.

See http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/wiki/index.php/RHESSI_Science_Nuggets

listing the current series, 2008-present, and

http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/nuggets/

for the original series, 2005-2008.

We publish these at roughly two-week intervals and welcome contributions, which should be related, at least loosely, to RHESSI science.
