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
