Scientific paper

We have created a database of all coronal loops for which we have been able to find measurements in the published open literature, from Skylab to TRACE. The loops and a set of their physical parameters are stored in the form of an IDL structure. The physical parameters considered are: the loop half length, the electron density of the loop, and the loop temperature. The studies that produced the physical parameters along with their observing instruments are recorded in the database as well. Correlations of pressure vs. temperature and heating rates vs. loop length are investigated. Instrumental selection effects are also considered. The loop parameters and correlations derived from the loop database are then compared to theoretical and numerical models for scaling laws and heating rates.This work is supported by NASA GSRP fellowship NNG05GK64H
