Caption: Figure 2.
Here, energy is deposited globally in both the electrons and the ions, by taking F i g0 = F e g0 = 2.5 × 10 5 erg cm −2 s −1, H g = 1 R ☉. Dotted curves: "interplume" solution without base heating ( F i b0 = F e b0 = 0). Solid curves: "plume" solution with strong base heating ( F i b0 = F e b0 = 2 × 10 5 erg cm −2 s −1, H b = 0.01 R ☉). Top panel: u( r) (in units of 100 km s −1), T e ( r) (in MK), and T i ( r) (in MK). Bottom panel: n( r) (cm −3) and n( r) u( r) (in units of 10 5 cm −2 s −1).
