Joule Heating and Anomalous Resistivity in the Solar Corona Steven R. Spangler University of Iowa Invocation to the Muse “Coronal Heating is one of the major problems in astrophysics” Coronal heating theories: AC and DC Evaluation of DC (Joule heating) theories requires measurements of coronal currents Radioastronomical measurement consistent with coronal currents within a coronal Amperian Loop Spangler, Astrophysical Journal 670, 841, 2007 Strongest case is for I=2.5 GA The implication for Joule heating of the corona: dependence on distribution of currents Development of strong current sheets
