The Sun is the nearest star for us and because of
this it is investigated more than others. Besides many features
known for a long time as prominences, sunspots, solar flares etc.,
there are some more things that raise interest. One kind of such
formations that have been found only after beginning of radio observations
of the Sun is coronal holes. Coronal hole is the area in the outer
solar atmosphere (corona) that have properties different from normal
corona. It has lower temperature and density and therefore it radiates less.
These 'holes' in solar radiation, that are especially evidently seen in
radio diapazone, are investigated by scholars. Different groups have
proposed various models of corona of quiet Sun and coronal holes.

Abstract
My work is to test these models using simulations and to compare results
with real observations.
