Scientific paper

Observations of the last few years show the corona to be highly inhomogeneous. The corona consists of loops of gas aligned with magnetic fields. The most viable theories for heating the corona are those that explicitly incorporate the structure of the magnetic loops. Coronal heating may be due to dissipation of electrical currents running along the loops and/or dissipation of hydromagnetic surface waves. The two theories have different implications for the heating of coronal holes.
