Scientific paper

It has been proposed that dissipation of hydromagnetic waves is an important heat source for the solar corona. Damping by collisionless processes and by electron thermal conduction and ion viscosity is considered, and the wave energy density is calculated such that heating balances the energy radiated by the plasma. The thermal stability of the wave heated medium is then analyzed. The fastest growing instabilities are condensations perpendicular to the fieldlines. The instability may be important for producing coronal fine structure, and in loops and streamers.
