Scientific paper

Using theory and simulations, we investigate the coronal heating rates that may be expected from electron Landau damping of kinetic Alfven waves. The Alfven waves are launched by oscillating current loops in the pre-coronal region and by convective instabilities from inverted electron density-temperature gradients. Ray trajectories are calculated from coronal equilibrium profiles data from Hinode and are used to estimate the power emitted in the waves. Estimates of the solar corona heating power from the 3D pseudo spectral simulations of the waves are used to study the anisotropy of the wave turbulence.
