Scientific paper

The resonant electrodynamic heating theory of Ionson (1982) and the evaporation/condensation scenario of Krall and Antiochos (1980) are invoked by a theory of hot coronal loop thermal stability. The theory predicts that gradual changes in loop length or magnetic field strength can trigger catastrophic X-ray visibility changes in the loop without accompanying changes in magnetic field topology. This is judged to constitute a natural explanation for observed X-ray brightening in loops, as well as loop evacuations with coronal rain.
