Scientific paper

Using time-dependent numerical simulations, the author has investigated the observational consequences of highly asymmetric heating in small transition-region loops. The simulations show that, to an observer looking down on the loop, the plasma at C IV - emitting temperatures will appear to be redshifted, as is seen on the Sun. Because of the highly asymmetric location, there will be some cutoff temperature above which the redshifted emission will be replaced by only blueshifted emission. These calculations show that the observation of a blueshifted emission line in the upper transition region of the Sun or other late-type stars may not be evidence for the initial acceleration of the solar wind, but rather just part of a closed circulation system.
