Thermal instability and non-equilibrium in solar coronal loops: from coronal rain to long-period intensity pulsations

Antolin, Patrick

The complex interaction of the magnetic field with matter is the key to some of the most puzzling observed phenomena at multiple scales across the Universe, from tokamak plasma confinement experiments in the laboratory to the filamentary structure of the interstellar medium. A major astrophysical puzzle is the phenomenon of coronal heating, upon w…
