Evidence for Impulsive Heating of Active Region Coronal Loops

Evidence for Impulsive Heating of Active Region Coronal Loops

We present observational and numerical evidence supporting the theory of impulsive heating of the solar corona. We have run numerical simulations solving the hydrodynamic equations for plasma confined to a magnetic flux tube, for the two distinct cases of steady and impulsive heating. We find tha...
