Scientific paper

At the beginning of the third millenium, and after several decades of research, we are still trying to understand the exact mechanisms leading to the heating of the solar corona. Many observations (Skylab, Yohkoh, SoHO, TRACE, etc...) seem however to show that the solar activity and the coronal heating are related to the solar magnetic field. This activity is characterized, for example, by a spatio-temporal intermittent brightness of the corona in the X-ray or UV domain. Several heating mechanisms of coronal magnetic loop have been proposed but during the last decade the attention has mostly been focused on statistical models (phenomenological or turbulent fluid models) which are able to reproduce the probability distribution functions observed for solar flares. In this talk a brief review will be given on observations and heating models of magnetic loops.
