Chromospheric and coronal heating mechanisms

Abstract

We review the mechanisms which have been proposed for the heating of stellar chromospheres and coronae. These consist of heating by acoustic waves, by slow and fast mhd waves, by body and surface Alfvén waves, by current or magnetic field dissipation, by microflare heating and by heating due to bulk flows and magnetic flux emergence. Some relevant observational evidence has also been discussed.
