... Several years ago, John Butler and myself derived the radiative energy output from the `quiet' corona of some twenty odd stars, similar in many ways to our own Sun, and found that there was a one-to-one correspondence with the total amount of energy radiated during flares on these stars over a period of say one day. ... The velocities derived increase from 0 km/s at 20,000K to a red-shift of 10 km/s at 190,000 K for the quiet Sun, and to 15 km/s 100,000 K for the active region. ...

... Moscow, Russia E-mail: krivosheev@iki.rssi.ru Notes: · · The Monte Carlo method (s) is also called the statistical test method An innumerable number of processes can be listed the outcome of which is not determined and has probabilistic nature, but these processes obey statistical laws, so to obtain the result we have to make multiple similar tests, i.e. to use the MC method Because probabilistic processes are widely spread in nature, the MC ...
