Description

This white paper, submitted to the Heliophysics 2050 Workshop, discusses the diagnostic power and need for soft X-ray spectroscopy of the Sun to understand heating of plasma in the solar corona. Significant progress into the critical coronal heating question – and other closely related questions – is easily achievable by 2050 if we leverage these advances and prioritize development of new solar SXR observatories
