Solar Corona: Heating, Nanoflares

Scientific paper

We review the current status of the 'Parker hypothesis' which suggests that the solar corona is heated by a multitude of small flare-like events called nanoflares. Space-borne coronal imagers such as SXT, EIT or TRACE have allowed to test Parker's hypothesis observationally. Combining the results from different authors it seems that we are close to falsifying the hypothesis, i.e. there are not enough nanoflares to heat the corona. The only remaining hope for nanoflare-adepts is the transition region which contains various types of impulsive events such as explosive events or blinkers whose role and mutual relation is not sufficiently understood yet to make a final verdict on Parker's hypothesis.
