Spicules are chromospheric jet like features, ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere. Type-II spicules probably get generated in the lower chromosphere, but understanding how they deposit energy in the corona is still a challenging task. We perform a two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulation of type-II spicules in the solar corona. We also produce emission measure through forward modelling to compare it with the real observations. The energy budget calculated from the simulation data seems to indicate that spicules alone perhaps cannot keep the corona to million degree kelvin. |
