[Loops] coronal loops

[Klimchuk, James A. (GSFC-6710)]

Dear loops friends,

 

     Here is a paper I wrote for the Hinode II conference proceedings.
In it, I try to do three things:  (1) review the arguments leading to
the conclusion that warm EUV loops must by bundles of strands heated by
storms of nanoflares (the flow chart some of you have asked about); (2)
reconcile the isothermal/multi-thermal debate in terms of the duration
of the nanoflare storm; and (3) address the possibility that loops can
be explained by thermal nonequilibrium.  Comments are welcomed.

 

Thanks,

Jim
