Scientific paper

Coronal loops are observed to have nearly constant apparent width (Klimchuk, 1999; Watko & Klimchuk, 1999). We will show that only one basic geometry is possible for constant-width coronal loops in a force free magnetic field. In particular, the loop must describe a helix. Furthermore, the torsion of the loop is determined solely by the value of the force free parameter, alpha = (curl B) / B.
