Dear Phil<div><br></div><div>At last I'm glad I am on the loops mailing list. It was especially interesting to see your "explanation" paper because of its appeal to cool threads. At meetings now, when I meet them, I always am asking the coronal spectroscopists what the minimum coronal density is (never get answers, of course) with the idea that coronal heating might not be pervasive.</div><div><br></div><div>My hunch about the explanation, though, is different - I think one has to deal with neutrals not just via diffusion, but also by anisotropic conductivity as in the ionosphere. </div><div><br></div><div>Hugh</div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 10, 2008, at 10:30 AM, pgjudge wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">There are a couple of articles which may be of interest to this group</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">which are on the astro-ph arXiv:</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">On the magnetic structure of the solar transition region,</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">by Philip G.
