Dear Loops Friends,

 

    If you are interested, the attached paper shows that coronal loops cannot be explained by thermal nonequilibrium.  The results appear to rule out the widespread existence of coronal heating that is both highly concentrated low in the corona and steady or quasi-steady (slowly varying or impulsive with a rapid cadence).  Comments are welcomed.

 

Best wishes,

Jim
