Description
The heat-flow fluctuations along the quiet Sun convective pattern are studied in data provided by high-resolution observations and simulations. Using the methods of stochastic thermodynamics it is shown that heating and cooling of the photospheric flows obey a remarkable thermal relaxation asymmetry which was recently discovered in laboratory experiments.
