Although we have defined 1.5вЂ“4 R Sun as the region of interest. The point to take away from this discussion is that the region is somewhat arbitrarily defined, as with all regions of the solar atmosphere, and therefore open to debate. The white dashed lines, highlight the distances 1.5 R Sun and 4 R Sun, which roughly defines the Middle Corona. The blue-dashed circles are separated by 1 R Sun intervals, highlighting distances from 1 to 4 R Sun. The Field of View (FOV) extends from solar disk centre to approximately 4 R Sun. Shows a SWAP-EUV image, combined with a LASCO-C2 coronagraph white-light image. Although, we note that this is not constant throughout the solar atmosphere, and varies with the period of the solar cycle.ДЇigure 1. coronal hole regions), or higher with other coronal structures. This transition is roughly located between 1.5вЂ“4 R Sun, but of-course can be lower (e.g. The lower boundary of the heliosphere can be considered the region where we transition from a predominately magnetic dominated environment to a thermally dominated environment. The solar wind is embedded with an interplanetary magnetic field (often referred to as the open field) generated, and extending, from within the Sun. The heliosphere is the region of the solar atmosphere encompassing the solar system out to the heliopause, where the solar-wind, a stream of charged particles released from the upper atmosphere of the Sun, dominates. The lower corona has long been considered the region above the chromosphere and out to the edge of our EUV/X-ray imager Field of View (FOV), or to a point where the image compression / emission is too low for structures to be distinguished from the background noise, which can be roughly considered at 1.5 R Sun. A purely observational construct without a clear-cut definition?.The region where CME acceleration occurs and magnetic energy is liberated during eruptions?.The region where solar wind acceleration takes place?.The region where the transition from low to high beta plasma takes place?.The interface between the вЂњopenвЂќ and вЂњclosedвЂќ corona?.

The region of the corona between в‰€ 1.5вЂ“4 R Sun?.How we define, confine and quantify the Middle Corona has been discussed for several years, as with most regions of the solar atmosphere, due to the range of temperatures, densities, magnetic field strengths and energetics that pervade it.
