Scientific paper

The mechanism responsible for heating coronal loops is still a matter of debate. To explain loop observations, steady uniform heating, impulsive heating events of variable duration, and nanoflare heating of elemental strands have been proposed. Thermal nonequilibrium was discarded by Klimchuk et al. (2010) on the base of their 1D simulations, as incapable of reproducing observational characteristics of loops. We here revisit the viability of thermal nonequilibrium to explain the physics of coronal loops, by comparing the results of 3D simulations with observed properties in EUV and soft X-rays.
