Scientific paper

All theoretical models of nanoflare heating in the solar corona predict loops with an unresolved multistrand structure, which is in discrepancy with the quasi-isothermal cross sections of the finest coronal loop structures observed with TRACE, which have spatially resolved widths of w~1000-2000 km. We suggest modifying the theoretical models by relocating the hypothetical nanoflare events from their coronal location down to the chromosphere/transition region.
