We report an initial study of temperature and emission measure distributions along four steady loops observed with the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) at the limb of the Sun. The temperature diagnostic is the filter ratio of…

We have expanded upon earlier work that investigates the relative importance of coronal loops with isothermal $versus$ multithermal cross-field temperature distributions. These results are important for determining if loops have…

In the framework of TRACE coronal observations, we compare the analysis and diagnostics of a loop after subtracting the background with two different and independent methods. The dataset includes sequences of images in the 171 A, 195 A…

In a recent letter (ApJ 517, L155) Lenz et al. have shown the evidence of uniform temperature along steady long coronal loops observed by TRACE in two different passbands (171 A and 195 A filters). We propose that such an evidence can be…

Surprisingly few solar coronal loops have been observed simultaneously with TRACE and SOHO/CDS, and even fewer analyses of these loops have been conducted and published. The SOHO Joint Observing Program 146 was designed in part to provide…

The 1998 April 20 spectral line data from the Coronal Diagnostics Spectrometer (CDS) on the {\it Solar and Heliospheric Observatory} (\SOHO) shows a coronal loop on the solar limb. Our original analysis of these data showed that the plasma…

The observations from 1998 April 20 taken with the Coronal Diagnostics Spectrometer CDS on SOHO of a coronal loop on the limb have shown that the plasma was multi-thermal along each line of sight investigated, both before and after…

The high densities, long lifetimes, and narrow emission measure distributions observed in coronal loops with apex temperatures near 1 MK are difficult to reconcile with physical models of the solar atmosphere. It has been proposed that the…

Coronal loops generally trace magnetic lines of force in the upper solar atmosphere. Understanding the loop morphology and its temporal evolution has implications for coronal heating models that rely on plasma heating due to reconnection at…

We model a coronal loop as a bundle of seven separate strands or filaments. Each of the loop strands used in this model can independently be heated (near their left footpoints) by Alfv\'en/ion-cyclotron waves via wave-particle interactions.…

Two recent works have analyzed a solar large and steady coronal loop observed with Yohkoh/SXT in two filter passbands to infer the distribution of the heating along it. Priest et al. (2000) modelled the distribution of the temperature…

Data from recent numerical simulations of the solar corona and transition region are analysed and the magnetic field connection between the low corona and the photosphere is found to be close to that of a potential field. The fieldline to…

In this study we have compared coronal loops in the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) on-board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) with coronal loops from the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE). The purpose…

We report for the first time the detection of thermal free-free emission from post-flare loops at 34GHz in images from the Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH). We studied 8 loops, 7 of which were from regions with extremely strong coronal…

Previous studies have found that coronal loops have a nearly uniform thickness, which seems to disagree with the characteristic expansion of active region magnetic fields. This is one of the most intriguing enigmas in solar physics. We here…

New and advanced space-based observing facilities continue to lower the resolution limit and detect solar coronal loops in greater detail. We continue to discover even finer sub-structures within coronal loop cross sections, in order to…

One of the proposed damping mechanisms of coronal (transverse) loop oscillations in the kink-mode is resonant absorption as a result of the Alfven speed variation at the outer boundary of coronal loops. Analytical expressions for the period…

Previous work utilising NASA's High-resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C 2.1) 17.2 nm observations revealed that, even at the increased spatial scales available in the data-set, there may be evidence for coronal structures that are still not…

The brightness of the emission from coronal loops in the solar atmosphere is strongly dependent on the temperature and density of the confined plasma. After a release of energy, these loops undergo a heating and upflow phase, followed by a…

We investigate numerically the time evolution of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations in a coronal loop, focusing on the dynamics due to both phase mixing and turbulent cascade. The intensity, doppler velocity and non-thermal broadening…
