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
