We present a simple model that demonstrates that regions of high current density cannot exist within the solar atmosphere in a quasi-stationary state if they do not already exist at the photospheric boundary. This result demonstrates that theoretical treatments of coronal heating by electrodynamic p

At the 1980 total solar eclipse, we searched for high-frequency (0.1-2 Hz) oscillations in the intensity of the 5303-A coronal green line, as a test of predictions of theories of coronal heating via magnetohydrodynamic waves. Portions of the image 2.5-or 5-arc sec across were fed to cooled photomult
We consider two aspects of solar flares from the point of view of circuit theory. First, we show that the so-called "dynamo models", which invoke an analogy between the Earth's magnetosphere-ionosphere circuit and the solar corona-photosphere circuit, are iLlfounded. Second, we consider the rate of
