Static Changes of Temperature Structures Along Loops
Using heating data obtained from the flux braiding experiment
we (in collaboration with
Duncan Mackay)
solved the time independent energy equations in one dimension along
a magnetic loop in the solar atmosphere. This showed different forms that the
temperature profile can take, depending on the form of the energy input function.
Time averages of the temperature profile was made under different assumptions.
Clear variations in the different average temperature profiles was found, though
not that large that one could with out difficulty discriminate between them
observationally with present days accuracy.
