5335 20210502164610.0 Baldwin, E. ‘Campfires’ offer clue to solar heating mystery 2021 2021-04-27 Computer simulations show that the miniature solar flares nicknamed ‘campfires’, discovered last year by ESA’s Solar Orbiter, are likely driven by a process that may contribute significantly to the heating of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, or corona. If confirmed by further observations this adds a key piece to the puzzle of what heats the solar corona – one of the biggest mysteries in solar physics. STCE Chen, Y. Hardi, P. Berghmans, D.
